Lasik, The Final Frontier?
William Shatner requires little introduction. His iconic role as James T. Kirk in the Star Trek television series and the subsequent movies, compounded by his role as T.J. Hooker in the 80s cops series have made him a legend to all. As well as acting, he is also a musician, recording artist and active in charity work.
William [or Captain Kirk as you trekkies would like to call him], is now at the impressive age of 80 and looking very good for it too. Whilst being immortal on screen, he, like us all, has suffered from deteriorating eyesight over the years.
He has now been treated at by Robert K. Maloney MD at the Maloney Vision Institute in Los Angeles using the Lasik procedure. He quotes Dr Maloney as being "One of the finest".
Dr. Maloney appeared frequently on television as the exclusive LASIK surgeon for the ABC hit series Extreme Makeover. He has also treated stars such as Dennis Quaid, Cindy Crawford, Kristin Cavallari, Henri Simmons, and the Fonz - Henry Winkler.
We would like to congratulate William on his new found eyesight, and hope he can still continue to go where no man has gone before. A fine testament to the capabilities of Lasik, even for patients at the age of 80.
I wonder if Dr Maloney said, "Set phasers to stun" before treating him. He must be a Star Trek fan himself - we would like to think so.
