PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 31, 2012 - “LASIK Surgery is serious business-but it doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun along the way helping people as they wonder what it would be like to not have to wear glasses to see clearly at distance without them,”  remarked Birmingham LASIK Surgeon & Corneal Specialist Marc Michelson, M.D., Medical Director of Michelson Laser Vision. “To that end we thought it would be fun to have people interested in LASIK share photos of themselves wearing their most awful glasses. We have quite a community of Facebook fans who have “LIKED” us and so we felt that Facebook would be a great place to socialize with folks.”
