I heard that Monika Pyrek got LASEK surgery in 2005 or 2006. It is different surgery. More complicated than LASIK. But looks like she is well and jumps high.

Masters record holder, Allen Williams had it also. He told me in Sydney that it really helped. I think it's in my future too. Bubba

I saw somewhere that Hartwig got it right after a no height due to a contact malfunction.

Olympic hopeful pole vaulter, Melinda Owen, traveled to New Jersey this week from the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California to get LASIK. Hailing from Montana, one wouldn't expect Melinda to be such a proficient pole vaulter. She was a 2007 NCAA All- American while attending Idaho. Melinda placed 10th at the Olympic Trials and took a Bronze Metal at the 2009 National Indoor Championships.
