Eye and LASIK Center Announces Gift of Sight Program

WEST SPRINGFIELD — Just in time for the holidays, and in celebration of the eighth anniversary of the practice’s West Springfield location, the surgeons and staff at Eye and LASIK Center will perform free LASIK for 10 individuals during the month of December.

“The Gift of Sight is an opportunity for us to give back to our very supportive community in Western and Central Massachusetts,” said Dr. Pierre Alfred, medical director at Eye and LASIK. The life-changing opportunity, open to any Massachusetts resident, asks people to submit a brief application detailing why they want or need LASIK surgery. Applicants may also upload a video application via the company’s website.

“From a new mom’s frustration with glasses, to an upcoming wedding, to a soldier headed overseas, we’ve heard some really amazing stories so far,” said Dr. John Warren, partner and surgeon at Eye and LASIK Center. “LASIK is a life-changing procedure, and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of that process for these 10 individuals.”

Eye and LASIK Center has five locations, including West Springfield, Athol, Gardner, Greenfield, and Shelburne Falls. Applications and contest details are available at all practice locations, or online at eyeandlasik.com/giftofsight. The application deadline is Nov. 28, and the free LASIK procedures will be performed on Dec. 18. For more information, contact Dee Letourneau at (413) 774-7016 or [email protected].
