All Laser LASIK Eye Surgery for Golfers

Tiger Woods Professional Golfer

For years I dealt with the hassles and frustrations of glasses and contacts. Then, I made the decision that changed my life. I had LASIK with a TLC Laser Eye Centers surgeon and the results were fantastic.

As a professional golfer my eye sight was just too important to risk. Some of my main competitors had LASIK and loved the results. So I went where they went, to TLC. They provided me with the information that I needed and wanted to know. TLC answered all of my questions and helped me to be excited, not afraid of LASIK.

If you're considering LASIK, do your homework. Look for a surgeon with proven experience and a laser center that answers all of your questions and stands behind their results.

I know what it's like to have poor vision. I also know what it's like to see 20/20. And trust me, life is much better when you see it clearly.

Patient: Tiger Woods

Occupation: Professional golfer

Diagnosis: Severe nearsightedness. 

Vision is 20/15 with contacts.

Patient's complaint: Wants to play without contacts, which are cumbersome and bother him in windy and rainy conditions.

Objective: 20/15 vision without contacts. Ability to discard contacts.

Referred by: Friends, other tour golfers.

Procedure: Oct. 1, 1999

Note: Patient is more concerned about how different weather conditions will affect his eyesight will affect his eyesight and his game post-LASIK that he is about the procedure itself.

Tiger was a -11 prior to his LASIK surgery, which is in the worst one percent of those with nearsightedness. Prior to LASIK surgery, without his glasses or contacts, he would not have even been able to see the ball on the tee.

Is All Laser Lasik right for me?

If you're looking for blade-free treatment that virtually eliminates the most severe sight-threatening complications, the answer is yes.

The IntraLase Method also delivers outstanding vision results: more patients achieve vision that is 20/20 or better when the IntraLase Method is used. And patients report better quality of vision overall, particularly in terms of their ability to see well in low light, such as at dusk or at night.

How does All Laser Lasik work?

With the IntraLase Method, tiny pulses of laser light, a quadrillionth of a second each, pass harmlessly through the outer portion of your cornea and form a uniform layer of microscopic bubble just beneath the surface of your eye.

The exact dimensions of this layer of bubbles are determined by Dr. Sibley based on what's best for your eye, and are computer controlled for maximum precision - things that are not possible with a hand-held blade. The IntraLase flap creation process takes about 30 seconds.

When it's time for your LASIK treatment to be performed, Dr. Sibley easily separates the tissue where these bubbles occur and then folds it back, thus creating your corneal flap.

When LASIK is complete, a flap created using the IntraLase Method is uniquely able to "lock" back into place, Your eye then begins to rapidly heal.
