Would you trust your doctor with your livelihood?
Dwyane Wade just put his $15,691,000 eyes in the hands of another man. The Miami Heat star joined his teammate LeBron James among athletes who've undergone Lasik eye surgery to improve vision.
Wade liked the surgery so much that he do ented the procedure in a video just before and after being zapped. Yes, the video certainly seems like an advertisement, but it's still worth a look:
"I've seen a lot of people in my family get the eye surgery and its the greatest thing that happened to them," Wade says minutes before going under the laser. "I'm really looking forward to it. I know its gonna help my life, it might help me shoot better, so watch out!"
The odds are in Wade's favor with laser eye surgery. More than 90 percent of people are satisfied with the outcome after having their eyes done, according to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Ninety-five percent of patients claimed improved vision, and 85 percent reported an improved quality of life after surgery.
Not all the numbers are good. Three percent of Lasik patients experience burning, glare and halo adverse side effects. Hopefully the only thing Wade will have to deal with is seeing visions of Dirk Nowitzki coughing.
While recovering from the Lasik procedure and wearing sunglasses to shade his eyes, Wade attended teammate Chris Bosh's wedding over the weekend in Miami, reports the NY Post.
While he might have to wear the shades for a few days, Wade was delighted with the outcome of the laser.
"It's kind of an amazing thing to see your eye wide open and to see something go right by it, see things touching it and you can't even feel it," Wade said just a few minutes after surgery.
Wow, is that a relief after seeing that brutal shot to the eye he took at the end of game 2. I was worried we were going to see another Yao situation.
He's already got such superhuman vision that he can see the fouls that even the cameras miss, how much sharper can his eye sight get?
^He will see them before they're committed
they legalized same sex marriages in Miami?
wanna find out?
I thought gay marriage only legal in NY. But it says Bosh got married in Miami.
That's just mean
Not like he needs his eyes, he's not a shooter
You can play basketball blind, sight is totally overrated. Like Kobe
Sounds like you've done your research...
What superstar isn't overrated?You can play basketball blind, sight is totally overrated. Like Kobe
JordanWhat superstar isn't overrated?
Bird
Jordan - People overrate him A LOT, he might be the GOAT but that doesn't mean he isn't susceptable to being overrated. http://hoopsapedia.webs.com/mj50ppgtoday.htm . I can keep throwing articles of absurd speculations.
Bird - How good was his defense in reality and how good did the media say his defense was?
No player that is elevated to superstar status at one point in his career is not overrated. It's called media hype, the NBA is as notorious as any other organization for it.
Kobe plays D once in a blue moon
Kobe is overrated too, what's your point?
looks like he was in lots of pain. lets hope this surgery can save his careerWow, is that a relief after seeing that brutal shot to the eye he took at the end of game 2. I was worried we were going to see another Yao situation.
Oh, is that why I heard some Laker fans shout:" Pass that ball you blind f***?"You can play basketball blind, sight is totally overrated. Like Kobe
My point is that he is overrated
So? Everybody knows that
