Major League Baseball player Wilson Ramos, catcher for the Washington Nationals, credits his recent LASIK for improved performance at the plate. Ramos underwent LASIK laser eye surgery on March 4 of this year and almost immediately his hitting improved.  Ramos said he’s “more comfortable and I’m seeing the pitch really, really well after surgery. Now I can say the surgery helped me to be better at the plate.” He said, as a hitter, his pitch recognition improved — and that the surgery also improved his performance defensively. Ransom joins a long list of professional athletes who have undergone LASIK to improve their performance.
