Pablo E. Sandoval "The Kung Fu Panda" undergoes lasik

Yet another sports personality has undergone Lasik. This time it is the turn of Pablo E. Sandoval who underwent Lasik to correct an astigmatism.

The star, nicknamed The Kung Fu Panda is an infielder for the San Francisco Giants. The Venezuelan is quite a character and taught himself to throw with both hands, but favours his right.

It will be hard to beat his current performance, but lets hope he finds an improvement as a result of his Lasik procedure.

Ducks George Parros has Laser Surgery for torn retina

The Ducks enforcer George Parros had laser surgery this week to correct a torn retina in his left eye.

Whilst he will be out for a month, it is expected that he will make a full recovery.

He will probably miss a dozen games and likely to return on December 5th, 2011. George suffered the injury Friday during team practice in Detroit when he was hit by a deflected puck. Sheldon Brookbank will be on enforcer duties in the interim.

Get well soon George!

DocShop launches new "before and after" photo gallery

The new before and after photo gallery from DocShop is really incredible. The user interface is really easy to use and gives you a great view of the before and after photos of cosmetic and LASIK patients.

What makes this before and after gallery so special is that users can filter their search results using criteria such as age, weight, height and sex, so that they can view photos of patients most similar to themselves.

This will be a really valuable tool for those of you that are keen to see results first and shop around before you buy.

Laser treatment to change eye colour. Brown to Blue eyes?

Dr Gregg Homer from the United States is trying to get funds to support his claims that laser treatment is capable of changing the colour of brown eyes to blue. The treatment takes just 20 seconds and gradually the pigment will turn blue.

Using certain frequencies, the laser light is only absorbed by the pigment areas of the eye and not the remainder. The procedure is irreversible and has received criticism from professionals in the Vision Care industry that the loss of pigment may lead to glare or even double vision.

Will there be a market for changing the colour of peoples eyes?


A survey of 2,500 in the States by Stroma Medical suggests that 17% of Americans would want the procedure if they knew it was completely safe. The growing demand of coloured contact lenses overseas may also make this procedure financially viable.
