Why is Lasik so Popular in Los Angeles?
It’s got to be the lifestyle. Living in Southern California, where it’s sunny year round and there’s so much to see and do outdoors, many people want to avoid the pain of wearing glasses or contacts. The only glasses an Angelino wants to wear are sunglasses. Los Angeles LASIK is especially popular among celebrities, who rely upon their looks for their careers. Athletes as well, look to Los Angeles LASIK surgery for correcting their vision, which their performance relies upon, in the city where some of the top medical physicians have studied. Many of the most successful physicians in the country have studied at USC or UCLA medical centers, two of the top medical programs in the U.S. right here in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles LASIK eye surgeon Dr. Andrew Caster, for example, who was named one of the “Best Doctors in America” in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, graduated from Harvard Medical School and then was Resident in Ophthalmology at the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute from 1981-1984, and was the Clinical Instructor in Ophthalmology at the highly prestigious UCLA School of Medicine. Andrew Caster MD also wrote a book called Lasik: the Eye Laser Miracle, which has become one of the most widely read books in the U.S. on the subject of laser vision correction.
