Dr. Rashid has performed LASIK and PRK to help many athletes to enhance their performance by sharpening their uncorrected vision.

JAREN JACKSON OF THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS JOINS THE RANKS OF A GROWING NUMBER OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES UNDERGOING THE LASIK EYE SRUGERY

San Antonio, Texas, July 17, 2001- Jaren Jackson, who had been dependent on contact lenses, recently put his nearsighted eyes in the hands of Laser Vision Correction Specialist Dr. Edward R. Rashid. Jackson underwent this procedure at the Alamo Laser Vision Center on June 6, 2001. After a brief and painless procedure, Jackson’s uncorrected vision has improved dramatically. He is now seeing 20/15, which is sharper than the standard of 20/20.

Dr. Rashid is the Spurs team eye physician and realizes the importance of good vision for the professional athlete and clearly understands how glasses or contacts can inhibit the performance of these athletes.

A new generation of Excimer laser technology has recently been FDA approved. These advanced lasers perform with greater accuracy and offer refractive surgeons a broader spectrum of treatment options.

Tiger Woods, Troy Aikman, Cindy Crawford and over 2 million other Americans from all walks of life have improved their vision, cosmetic beauty, lifestyles and athletic performance by trusting a skilled surgeon and LASIK to help them rid of the encumbrances of their glasses and contacts.
