LASIK for NFL Referees

One of the most respected referees in the NFL, Edward Hochuli, famously quipped that a blown call was the result of his inability to properly see. Hochuli stated that, before the game, he didn’t know if he should wear glasses or contact lenses due to the windy conditions. His choice of eyewear turned out to be incorrect and many consider his blown call to have cost the San Diego Chargers the game.

With football season upon us, perhaps it’s time to revisit the importance of optimal eyesight when controlling the outcome of a game. Many of the calls in football come down to minor details and a ref who can’t properly see does a disservice to fans and players alike.

LASIK

Hochuli’s dilemma before that fated game didn’t have to be an issue. In fact, his refractive error could easily have been addressed through LASIK, most likely freeing him from the burden of prescription eyewear and allowing him to see under any weather conditions.

But you don’t need to be an NFL ref to benefit from LASIK. People who enjoy watching football can also benefit greatly from this procedure. Optimal eyesight better enables you to enjoy the game without having to worry about trivial issues like glasses falling off or contacts wrinkling right before a field goal. If you really want to enjoy your game, you should talk to your eye doctor about LASIK today.
