Crammer eye surgery told me carson wentz had popular laser correction surgery three months ago. There has been in comment from the eagles or wentz but star quarterback is endorsing the procedure, on facebook. On the eye Centers Facebook page is there a photo of carson wentz with the surgeon, a quote says my eyes are my career, although the decision to have prk was a tough one, trusting my eyes to kremer wasnt signed carson wentz, pr k alumni 2017. Prk is photo refractive car it my a laser surgery that reshapes the cornea. It starts with drops, and then , the outer most layer of the cornea is removed and laser adjusts the shape of the underlying tissue. It usually takes about 10 minutes per eye and typically results in 2020 vision. Recovery time can vary from several days up to three months and there can be mild discomfort. Eye irritation and watering right after the procedures. No word on carsons recovery. He sometimes wears glasses in post Game Press Conferences and presumably contacts during the game. Following prk he should be able to see on his own. He is now among a number of professional athletes to have laser vision correction. Prk can correct near sighted ness, far sightedness and stigmaism, it is similar to lasix but corrects a different part of the cornea and slightly longer recovery period. Now, prk vision correction is popular and considered to be very safe and effective. Since we have not heard from carson we just dont necessity how his vision is doing but most people do very well and they say their vision actually improves. So maybe the star quarterback will be even better, this coming season. Those big receivers even better now. Yeah.

Im don bell with your sports, nfl draft just a little more than 24 hours away , as you know, the eagles have 14th selection in the first round, now earlier today we had a chance to keep up with analyst at nfl network and get some predictions. I think they are better off with offensive player to support carson wentz. I have been on the record saying if you move from 13 to eight to two to get him you better support him. One of those receivers is there like a corry davis if he manages to be there, Mike Williams if he is there, john ross if he is there, that could be a type. Do i improve defense or wrap these people around carson wentz. Christian mccarrys name. I dont know if he will last there. There is a lot of different people. Couple good receivers that would make sense. But it is always, you only have one, number one pick. Predictions galore, so many options for eagles at number 14 overall.
