The Quest for 20/20


Being able to see clearly from a 20 feet standpoint is the very definition of "normal eyesight" that is a requirement if you want to be a firefighter, emergency service provider, law enforcement officer, correctional officer, lifeguard or a medical professional. These jobs and everything else that require life and death decisions based on a person's visual assessment of a given situation necessitates a 20/20 vision.

One of the most popular choices in corrective eye surgery is called laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, more popularly known as LASIK technology. Taking only a few minutes, this procedure is proven safe, pain free and guaranteed to completely eliminate cases of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

Now the preferred choice of vision correction procedure by the US Military and the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), LASIK technology has been tapped to increase the performance of the Defense Department's mission-critical personnel. Revolutionary LASIK information reveal that the custom-fit procedure is the safest and most effective corrective method that has shown notable results among the US Military with 95% of their personnel achieving 20/20 uncorrected vision or better.

In an article published on usaeyes.org, Steven Schallhorn, M.D., retired captain of the U.S. Navy, investigator in multiple studies involving use of Lasik and other refractive surgeries for treatment of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, and Medical Director for Optical Express said, "NASA's approval is further evidence that today's Lasik exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness." He added, "Lasik was able to withstand even the most extreme rigors of warfare and flight. All surgical procedures have risks, but with this exceptional track record, the average consumer has nothing to fear from Lasik."
