My Story: How LASIK Eye Surgery Changed Navid's Life

My Story with CareCredit is where actual CareCredit cardholders share stories of how life-changing healthcare procedures helped them or their families. Watch and read Navid's story below.

Navid was concerned that his farsightedness (the ability to see things at a distance, but not as well close-up) had progressed to the point of being a disability. He sometimes felt unsafe while driving when he was unable to read the GPS, and worried about relying on his family to read labels for him when he found himself without one of his many pairs of reading glasses.

Navid's eye doctor confirmed he was a good candidate for LASIK, a procedure Navid wanted but had put off for several years, not wanting to strain his family's budget. When Navid learned he could finance his LASIK surgery with the CareCredit credit card, he was thrilled. Now he keeps his dozens of pairs of reading glasses as a reminder but has been clear-eyed ever since.
