A patient from Camarillo that I saw in my Ventura office asked me about LASIK and professional athletes. It turns out that yet another NBA star has just undergone LASIK and is crediting his improved performance to laser vision correction eye surgery. Tobias Harris, forward for the Detroit Pistons, used to play wearing contact lenses, but after he had a couple of eye infections from his contacts, he decided to undergo LASIK eye surgery. Since having LASIK, Harris’ effective field goal percentage is at a career high. He is scoring particularly well on long range shots, something he credits his to his improved vision after LASIK. Many professional athletes, including many I have personally had the privilege of performing LASIK for, have found that LASIK improves their game in sports ranging from golf to basketball to race car driving to baseball.
