Celebrities Gone LASIK

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Say goodbye to the days of prescription eyewear donned by your favorite celebrities and athletes – they’ve moved on to a more natural look.  While many high profile men and women shy away from revealing surgical procedures that they have undertaken in the past, there has been a surge in popularity in celebrities proudly declaring their decision to undergo LASIK Eye Surgery.

From singer Jessica Simpson to actor Brad Pitt, football player Troy Aikman to basketball superstar LeBron James, we bear witness to an exponential growth of well-known, high-performance individuals who have gone LASIK.  This choice is not just for aesthetic purposes (even though we must say they end up looking pretty darn good) – these superstars have dedicated themselves to improving their craft, lifestyles and athletic abilities by eliminating their dependence on prescription eyewear.

Here is a list of a few other celebrities who have committed to improving their vision and started the eyewear trend au natural:

  • Nicole Kidman
  • Lorenzo Lamas
  • Dennis Quaid
  • Michael Bolton
  • Drew Carey
  • Courtney Cox

Pilots and Astronauts Approved for LASIK

Friday, July 30th, 2010

“Can I get LASIK or PRK and become a pilot?”

Arnel Nacino, American Eagle pilot and La Jolla LASIK Patient

Absolutely.

LASIK is now approved for most jobs– even astronauts can have LASIK these days.  So, if you are an aspiring pilot, know that the FAA allows commerical airline pilots to have LASIK.  Also, most branches of the military approve LASIK for most military jobs, and the last time I checked, LASIK was approved for all jobs in the Navy, even special operations.

Of course, always check with your superior or your recruiter. But generally, if LASIK is not OK, PRK will be. This means you can achieve your dream of flying planes AND your dream of great vision.
