ORLANDO, FL, May 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) The host of TV 45 Orlando's flagship program says he's seeing better than ever following a visit to Hunter Vision.
"I'm reading emails without my glasses and seeing clearly out the window, too ... it's just phenomenal," says Ken Mikesell, 59, who has hosted "The Good Life" since 1983. A staple of Orlando's Christian community, the 30-minute program helps viewers live healthier and grow in their spiritual journeys (www.tv45.org).
Mikesell opted for "blended vision" 3D LASIK, a procedure that corrects near and distance vision by creating a complementary focusing system for each eye. Thus, the need for reading glasses is resolved by letting the eyes work together.
Dr. Joel Hunter, founder of Hunter Vision (www.huntervision.com), explains: "People who are farsighted all have a story similar to Ken's. They see great their whole lives, and then their near vision falls to pieces right around their 40th birthday. The procedure Ken had restored his near vision and cleared distance vision to a level he hasn't had since he was in his 20's and 30's."
Dr. Hunter adds that "today's LASIK technology is staggering. Almost all of our patients never wear reading glasses after 3D LASIK. "
More and more baby boomers are having laser eye surgery to free themselves from contacts, bifocals and reading glasses. And research finds that most can expect good outcomes from the procedure, Dr. Hunter says.
"People who had great vision, but have lost it since they turned 40, have options," he concludes. "Most people over 40 just assume they have to put up with bad reading vision. That's simply not the case."
ABOUT HUNTER VISION

Using the latest technology to diagnose and treat its patients, and providing unsurpassed service that continues even after the surgery, Hunter Vision was founded by Dr. Joel Hunter, the son and namesake of noted Central Florida pastor Joel C.
