Lasik surgery is fairly routine and nearly painless. But there are new options for achieving better eyesight. "It got me to the pros," says Brett Basanez, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, about the Vizual Edge program. The program uses tests similar to video games that measure visual skills. Increasing the level of difficulty, it trains eyes to perform better. According to ophthalmologist Dr. Barry L. Seiller, creator of Vizual Edge, "You need to train two to three times per week, for four to eight weeks. About 83% of people who use the program also have academic improvement."
