Professional Tennis Player Julia Goerges gets LASIK

Professional tennis player Julia Goerges has gotten LASIK to improve her vision, according to WTAtennis.com. According to an interview with the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), Goerges is happy with her LASIK results.

She received LASIK over the offseason. According to Goerges, she had used glasses and contact lenses for the previous ten years.

Laser vision correction can be an effective way for athletes to improve their vision. By eliminating or reducing dependence on corrective lenses, athletes may find playing their sport more convenient. Some sports can be almost impossible to play with glasses, and contact lenses can cause irritation, and can simply be a hassle to put in and take out daily.

Although there are certain side effects and risks associated with LASIK surgery, many athletes have enjoyed better vision with this and other laser surgeries. Talk to your eye surgeon about the risk of complications. If you are an athlete, you must have some downtime after surgery. If your sport involves physical contact, you will have to wait to play your sport. Your eyes must be protected while they heal for the most successful LASIK outcome.

If you want to learn more about the benefits and risks of LASIK, please contact an experienced eye surgeon in your area.
