Over the past two decades, laser eye surgery has provided freedom from glasses and contact lenses to millions of people worldwide, and there are some for whom the relief has been extremely significant in helping them achieve their dreams of being world-leading sportsmen and women.
Without the burden of glasses or contact lenses, sportspeople who undergo laser eye surgery can see clearly in all environments – whether their sport of choice involves wide open spaces or the depths of an Olympic swimming pool. The long-lasting benefits of laser eye surgery to improve hand-eye co-ordination and other areas of sight have not only improved the quality of life of sportspeople across the globe, but in many cases have also been integral to their success.
Many of the world’s most famous sportspeople have undergone laser eye surgery, which has helped them achieve their fame. Name your sport of choice, and it’s a safe bet that some of the most prestigious players have undergone laser eye surgery to correct their vision, whether to improve hand-eye or foot-eye coordination or simply to free them from having to wear inconvenient glasses or contacts out on the pitch.
From legendary golfers like Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington to professional snooker players such as Stephen McGuire, the success of many of today’s sportspeople would not have been possible without advancements in laser technology. When it comes to contact sports like rugby, Scottish players such as Max Evans, Marcus Di Rollo and Alan Bulloch are sure to be even more aware of the benefits of not having to wear glasses or contacts to see clearly during a scrum. Thanks to advances in LASIK surgery, which avoids weakening the cornea, rugby players no longer need to worry about their eyes being left more vulnerable to injury as a result of laser eye surgery.
Indeed, many famous sportspeople have gone on the record with positive laser eye surgery reviews, explaining how the treatment has improved their vision and helped them achieve success for themselves or their teams in crucial tournaments.
Ireland’s Olympic hammer thrower Eileen O’Keeffe has thanked her providers for improving her vision beyond 20/20, while the UK’s Olympic rower Tom Solesbury acclaimed the speed of the procedure – which can be carried out in around 10 minutes and typically leads to results within a few short hours – explaining that his only regret was not having it sooner.
