Jo Campbell's LASIK Laser Eye Surgery

When Jo Campbell had LASIK surgery five years ago, she knew that eventually she’d have to wear reading glasses. What she didn’t count on was the damage done to her left eye. Even now, three surgeries later, she said looking out of her left eye “looks like an impressionalist painting.”

When Jo Campbell first thought of having LASIK surgery to her eyes, her first consideration was to go through every aspect of what the procedure involved with a fine-tooth comb.

"I was very thorough in researching it," she said of assessing the risk factors involved.

Researching a particular topic was nothing new for Campbell, as she is the assistant superintendent of the Council Bluffs School District. Instead of being well versed to face a barrage of questions from various boards and administrators, she had to prepare for her toughest sell yet -convincing herself.

"It was very important to me, at that time, that I know what I was getting myself into, and that I be familiar with this as much as I could be prior to making a decision," she said.

Campbell knew that, given her age, there was the possibility that while LASIK would correct her vision, she might be relegated to wearing reading glasses somewhere down the line, "which was fine."
