Free LASIK Surgery for Iraq Bound Soldiers

The US soldiers received a free LASIK surgery at the office of the Dello Russo Laser Vision at Manhattan last week. They received this treatment in order to get rid of their glass, contact lens and blurry vision which could have created some problem. The members of the Army's 2nd Battalion, 113th Infantry Regiment received the treatment before their deployment in Iraq next September.

Dr Joseph Russo and Dr. Jeffrey Russo completed the free treatment to pay their tribute to the nation. The soldiers and military officers are thrilled to receive the treatment before their overseas assignments. "This is just the best thing that could have happened," said Spec. Randall Bisset, a sniper and scout.

The Dello Russo Laser Visiona family=run business was established some 40 year ago. This is the first center in USA to offer bladeless LASIK surgery. Dr. Jeffrey informed that they have a number of patients in military and police forces. In that way, he feels great to serve the nation.

As part of the LASIK procedure, the soldiers went through the examination process where the Laser beam was used for less than half a minute. Minutes after the minimally invasive surgery, the soldiers wore dark sunglasses and rested for an hour. The LASIK surgery enables them to have 20/20 vision.
