What a privilege to have helped Rilee Rossouw, one of South Africa's and the Proteas' top cricket players, get rid of his contacts and glasses (through LASIK).
In Rilee's words: "I have never had such great vision or seen things so clearly without my contact lenses. I should have done Lasik years ago!"

Within a few days, Rilee was back on the cricket field with perfect vision and without any contact lenses, pain or discomfort.

We wish Rilee all the best in his future cricket career and the upcoming tournament in the USA, and the World Cup tournament in September.
Go and make us proud!

Getting older your eye will not be as flexible when you where younger and your eyes gradually lose their ability to see things clearly up close from around the age of 40.

The lens becomes more rigid and this causes difficulty in reading and other close up tasks and you may find that you hold reading materials farther away to see it clearly.
