Did you know that some of the most famous celebrities

Actors & Actresses

Brad Pitt is seeing better following his LASIK surgery. So is Nicole Kidman. Julianne Moore, Cindy Crawford, Reese Witherspoon, and Courtney Cox have all had the procedure. Kristin Cavallari from the television show, 'The OC,' let a camera follow her to her LASIK surgery. Other famous LASIK patients include Drew Carry, John Goodman, Dennis Quaid, and Jeremy London.

Musicians

Elton John doesn't need to wear big glasses anymore; he's had LASIK to correct his vision. Michael Bolton, Barry Manilow, and Kenny G have all gone under the laser to restore their visual acuity. So have the famous singer sisters, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson. Guitar legends Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana have had LASIK eye surgery. Even 'Weird' Al Yankovic has gotten in on the act.

Athletes

LASIK isn't recommended for people who participate in full-contact sports, but plenty of professional athletes have had the procedure. Pro golfer Tiger Woods can keep his eye on the ball better than ever, because he's had LASIK. So have LeBron James, Ted Williams, Troy Aikman, Greg Maddox, Jennifer Capriati, and Wade Boggs.

Why do so many celebrities choose LASIK? Most of the people above need to look good or see well in order to do their jobs. LASIK improves vision and does away with the need for glasses, so it's a popular choice for celebrities.

However, before you undergo refractive surgery yourself, be sure you're doing it for the right reasons. There are risks involved, so don't get the procedure just because someone else did. Talk to your eye doctor to find out if LASIK is the best choice for you.

For additional information about LASIK and PRK surgery, as well as BOTOX injections and brow lift surgery, it is important to visit a Boston LASIK laser vision correction office for a consultation.
