Every year, thousands of people around the world benefit from laser surgery for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia. Most of the people who opt for this kind of procedure are ordinary people, but there are also celebrities who have taken the plunge. Some people are apprehensive about undergoing laser eye surgery (Lasik), and may find it reassuring to know that famous people have had their eyesight corrected by laser.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of testimonials from celebrities you may know:

4 celebrities share their experience with Lasik eye laser surgery

Nicole Kidman

Actress Nicole Kidman, has declared that she has taken the plunge and decided to undergo laser eye surgery. “I used to walk around legally blind; now I have 10/10 vision,” she said. “I can’t believe I spent so many years in a blur… now I notice if people are looking at me, and I smile right away if someone waves.”

Taylor Swift

During an interview on America’s must-see The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon asked Taylor Swift about her recent Lasik operation. The singer was very enthusiastic: “It was great, I can see really well now.” Jimmy Fallon took advantage of this moment to broadcast a somewhat embarrassing but funny video of Taylor. She was totally moved by the sight of a banana after her operation.

Jimmy Fallon

Speaking of Jimmy Fallon, he chose to have laser eye surgery early in his career to make it easier to see his TV presenter cards. He felt uncomfortable with his glasses and didn’t like wearing contacts every day, so he opted for refractive surgery, which seemed like a good alternative. After his surgery, he declared, “It worked like a charm!”

Tiger Woods

Do you know this very famous golf player? Well, he was very short-sighted and used to rely on his contact lenses to help him excel at golf. Eventually, he wanted to stop wearing contact lenses. Since visual acuity and depth perception are of paramount importance to a golf player, he decided to put his trust in laser myopia to improve his vision. Since 1999, the year he had his operation, he holds the record for the most PGA Tour victories of all time.
