My Story: New Vision with LASIK

Alexx, a rock musician, was told she needed to either wear glasses or get LASIK. Because she needed the freedom to rock out on stage, glasses weren't an option. Thanks to CareCredit, Alexx was able to get LASIK and now has perfect vision.

Meet Alexx, a rock musician and singer. After eye complications, she could no longer wear contacts. LASIK was the only option that would let her rock out on stage uninhibited. *

Alexx is a successful musician who often performs live on stage. But one day, her eye doctor warned her that she was developing complications from wearing contacts. She had two choices: start wearing glasses or get LASIK.

"Being a musician and playing live all the time, I didn't want to be tied down (to) wearing glasses," Alexx said.

She needed LASIK so she could rock out free and uninhibited on stage. Thanks to CareCredit, she was able to get the surgery.

And now, she says, "I can thrash around and play my guitar without any worry whatsoever."

CareCredit for Vision Care

Years earlier, Alexx had first applied for the CareCredit credit card to finance dental care. She was able to get the expensive but necessary dental work done the same day. Now, 11 years after using CareCredit again for her LASIK surgery, she's still incredibly thankful.

She recommends the card to all her family and friends.

"CareCredit is absolutely life-changing," Alexx says.
