Footballer opts for laser surgery
Vision is important to footballers and all sports players.

Football player Kaka, who earlier this week made the record books with his £56 million transfer from AC Milan to Real Madrid, was one player who took the risk of laser eye surgery when younger.

As former Spice Girl Mel B has proved in the past, laser eye surgery is not forever, with one of her eyes regressing at a pivotal time.

Should laser eye surgery prove to be a temporary solution, another answer could be ortho k lenses.

Unlike laser surgery, which potentially could have damaged Kaka's playing career had it gone badly, ortho k lenses are a completely reversible treatment that still allows for great vision all day long.

As the special lenses are worn at night, it can be a great relief to sports players as they will not have to carry around glasses or any contact lens solution in the day.
