Vision is important to footballers and all sports players.
Football player Kaka, who earlier this week made the record books with his £56 million transfer from AC Milan to Real Madrid, was one player who took the risk of
laser eye surgery when younger.
As former Spice Girl Mel B has proved in the past,
laser eye surgery is not forever, with one of her eyes regressing at a pivotal time.
Should
laser eye surgery prove to be a temporary solution, another answer could be ortho k lenses.
Unlike laser surgery, which potentially could have damaged Kaka's playing career had it gone badly, ortho k lenses are a completely reversible treatment that still allows for great vision all day long.
As the special lenses are worn at night, it can be a great relief to sports players as they will not have to carry around glasses or any contact lens solution in the day.
