Each year, millions of Americans pay to have their eyeballs poked, prodded, suctioned, sliced and zapped with a laser. In exchange, their vision is corrected. In this video, we go inside an operating room at Acuity Laser Eye and Vision Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to watch Dr. Steven Vale, who has done over 20,000 surgeries, perform lasik eye surgery. See for yourself! Thanks to Steven Vale, Dan Patton. Production assistance from Annette Heist. Produced by Flora Lichtman.
