LeBron James made his regular-season premiere in a Lakers uniform yesterday. Ice Cube introduced him to cheering fans, saying “Laker fans, the wait is over!” Many consider James to be the greatest player in the NBA, yet few people know that LASIK laser vision correction played a major role in launching James’ career and helped him to be the player he is today. LeBron James had LASIK surgery in in both eyes eleven years ago. The following season after his LASIK, he had his best shooting percentage, his best free throw percentage, and his best season for personal assists in his career up to that point. That first year after LASIK, he averaged 30 points a game and led the Cleveland Cavilers to the Eastern Conference semi-finals. He credited LASIK as being a huge part of his success as a basketball player.
