LASIK
Josh Reddick
Houston Astros World Series Champion
After years of relying on contact lenses during professional baseball — and dealing with dryness, travel challenges, and game-day frustrations — Josh Reddick decided it was time for a permanent solution. Referred by his team optometrist, he chose LASIK with Dr. Andrew Salem to simplify life on and off the field.
Today, Josh enjoys waking up and seeing clearly without reaching for contacts. His story highlights how LASIK can provide convenience, clarity, and confidence — even for elite athletes.
PRK
Zac Brooks
Professional Football Player
For professional football player Zac Brooks, dependable vision is critical. Years of broken glasses, lost contacts, and lenses falling out during games led him to pursue laser vision correction. After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Salem recommended PRK due to Zac’s corneal thickness and active lifestyle.
Without the need for a corneal flap, PRK can be a strong option for athletes in contact sports. Zac’s experience demonstrates how careful surgical planning and personalized recommendations matter.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
Victoria Fuller
Artist & Reality TV Personality
When artist and public figure Victoria Fuller began experiencing worsening vision, she was told it was simply aging. But after seeking further evaluation, she was diagnosed with cataracts and dry eye. Through collaboration between Dr. Kevin Gee and Dr. Andrew Salem, she underwent refractive lens exchange with advanced intraocular lens technology.
Following surgery, Victoria regained clarity at both near and distance vision — allowing her to return to painting on canvas and fully engage in daily life again.
EVO ICL™
Dr. Alyssa Banda
Optometrist at Diagnostic Eye Center
As an optometrist living with Sjögren’s syndrome and severe dry eye, Dr. Alyssa Banda believed she would never be a candidate for refractive surgery. Contact lenses were intolerable, and glasses were a constant companion for nearly two decades.
With the arrival of EVO ICL™, she found an option that did not worsen dry eye symptoms. After undergoing the procedure herself, Dr. Banda now shares her personal experience with patients considering vision correction.
