Science and Miracles

Eric Solomon spent many years working as a journalist and then moved on to running his own PR Company before joining Optisight, SpecsDirect and Complete Eyewear group of Optical Companies in Cape Town, South Africa as their Marketing, Corporate Relations and Client Services Director.

They specialise in Occupational and Corporate Visual Health, Family Eyecare and Child Vision care. They have a wholesale division, they import their own frame ranges and lenses and they have our own optical laboratories for surfacing lenses and manufacturing completed spectacles. You might say they cover every single aspect of visual health and eyecare.

In their patient base of well over 20, 000 patients (and counting) they have quite a large number of patients who have chosen to have Lasik.

Many are overjoyed with the result and would have it again in a heartbeat. 

But . . . there are also some who were less fortunate with their outcome. And for them, their way of life has either changed radically, permanently and dramatically for the worse, or in some really bad cases, their life has become one never-ending torment of pain and suffering.

In fact . . . for some unfortunate patients, their lives have become a living hell.

That’s why Eric has chosen to begin his new Blog - Science and Miracles - with a series of totally objective and informative articles on the procedure of Lasik surgery. So anyone considering having the Lasik procedure will have enough OBJECTIVE information to be able to make an INFORMED decision whether or not it is right for them. 

The process of corneal laser surgery is truly a miracle of modern science and has brought joy and a new lease on life to millions of patients around the world.

However, ALL surgery carries an element of risk . . . some to a greater or lesser degree . . . but the risk is there.

Don’t ever let anyone play down or evade the issue of risks involved. If you’re seriously contemplating, or even thinking about, having Lasik (Laser-assisted) Eye Surgery, this particular series of Blog posts was written just for you. Because if ever there was a time to look before you leap, this is it.

This series of Blog posts will help guide you through one of the most critical decision-making processes of your life, the outcome of which will affect you for the rest of your life - for better or for worse.
