Eyesight is precious. In my family, eyesight is also pretty bad.

I have one of the better pairs of peepers. I need glasses only for those times when I stay up to late reading or play on the computer. So, more nights than not. Most everyone else is restricted to corrective lenses for driving. It isn't an age thing. My younger brother was not allowed to get his permit until he got glasses. In many cases, just seeing the television requires glasses. My mother's first glasses were provided by the Lion's Club at the age of five. I cannot picture her face without glasses.

To highlight the modern alternative to poor eyesight, Abbott Medical Optics, a leading maker of laser correction equipment, is holding an  iLASIK Video Contest. With a $5,000 grand prize, the winner could pay for laser vision correction. Funny and original videos have already been submitted, but there is still time to submit your own.

Both those who dream of better vision and those who have already had surgery are invited to submit videos in the following categories:

• “My contacts are getting in the way of my good time”
• “My favorite sport or activity would be so much cooler with better vision”
• “You should see life after the iLASIK® Procedure”

My first thought was how annoying it is to walk in the rain wearing glasses. Don't you hate when that happens? I spent my childhood walking with my head down whenever it rained. And you still get water droplets on your lenses.

Vote for your favorite video and see all the annoying things about bad vision and life changes laser vision correction provides. Both sides are great motivation to contact an optometrist to find out if laser eye surgery is right for you.
