TV Personality Kristen Cavallari undergoes LASIK as part of a reality series
“Nuvision Medicenters Announces Premier of Celeb Reality LASIK” New York City, 6/20/2007 –NuVision Medicenters and the executive producers of a new reality series premiere the breakthrough online docu-drama – RealityLASIK – which follows reality TV beauty Kristin Cavallari’s decision to undergo LASIK. The program is aimed at young adults who, like Cavallari, are interested in documenting their vision correction experience with Advanced CustomVue™ LASIK with the IntraLase™ Method. Real-EYE-Dramas Acted out Daily Nationwide Millions struggle with the hassle of contacts and glasses. Yet most don’t realize that the likelihood of a serious sight-threatening complication from contact lenses is five times greater than LASIK, according to a recent study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology (Mathers, et. al., Oct. 2006). The size of the U.S. Gen Y population is estimated at 76 million. (Fast Company, Jan./Feb. 2006). “Young adults are ideal LASIK candidates. Not only can they enjoy great vision for the next 20 years or more, but they will reduce the risk of sight-threatening infections related to continual contact lens wear,” said Matthew Pruitt, Executive director. “Generally speaking, this generation seeks out the most advanced technologies – such as Advanced CustomVue LASIK with the IntraLase Method – to meet the demands of their lifestyles.” Pruitt continued, “The fact is that by having LASIK surgery earlier in life you can save tens of thousands of dollars in glasses and contact lenses, not to mention their care and maintenance.” What surprises most people is that they may recoup the cost of LASIK in less than three years and flexible financing plans make it a realistic, affordable vision correction option for young people and their parents. 20/20 Vision Real-EYE-zed in RealityLASIK The online series premieres today at www.nuvisionmedicenters.com.
