Soccer Star Mario Balotelli Gets LASIK Surgery

Striker Mario Balotelli plays for the Manchester City Football Club, a soccer club of the English Premier League. Balotelli had a successful LASIK surgery performed at the beginning of this month. He was nearsighted. According to the Daily Mail, Balotelli wore contacts, but they were apparently bothering him because of an allergy.

While he recovered, Balotelli had to miss a few important games, including two World Cup qualifying matches.

LASIK can be a great option for athletes and active individuals with certain vision disorders. Without having to worry about glasses or contact lenses, you can be active without any hassle. Get going first thing in the morning, without having to fuss with contacts. Run, bike, do yoga and move free from the constraints of eyeglasses.

When you meet with a LASIK surgeon, you should discuss the sports and activities you participate in. The surgeon can tell more about your recovery, including when you will be able to participate in physical activities again.

If you want to know more about LASIK and if it is right for you, please contact an experienced eye surgeon in your area.
