LASIK laser vision correction surgery offers the freedom to see the world clearly without the daily hassles of contact lenses and eyeglasses. Katina Taylor, former South Florida TV personality and wife of NFL All-Pro Jason Taylor, can certainly attest to that. As a successful businesswoman, philanthropist, recreational athlete and mother of three, Taylor opted for the life changing LASIK procedure in 2005. The procedure has had such a positive impact on her life that she has decided to share her story by partnering with Millennium Laser Eye Centers to become a Brand Ambassador, appearing in advertisements, videos and other promotional endeavors. Millennium Laser Eye Centers, along with Taylor’s support, recently launched its “Don’t Miss Your Child’s Shining Moments” campaign at the D. Wade All-Star Cheer & Dance Camp.
A Texas-native, former model and former Miss Amarillo Area, Katina Taylor currently serves as the Vice-President of the Jason Taylor Foundation which she established with her husband, the NFL All-Pro in 2004. The Foundation’s mission is to support and create programs that facilitate the personal growth and empowerment of South Florida’s children in need by focusing on improved health care, education and quality of life. In 2007, Taylor also established “Camp Katina – Cartwheels to Character” – a three- day camp focusing on gymnastics, cheerleading and life skills at which more than 50 girls, ages 7-12 participate annually.
When seeking treatment, Katina Taylor sought out the best when she chose Dr. Cory Lessner, Medical Director and CEO of South Florida based Millennium Laser Eye Centers, to perform her LASIK. For more than a decade, Dr. Lessner and his staff have corrected the vision of tens of thousands of patients, lessening their dependence on corrective eyewear. With over 25,000 successful procedures to his credit, Dr. Lessner, a board-certified ophthalmologist, is considered to be one of the most skilled surgeons in his discipline. His practice has been exclusive to laser correction surgery and LASIK for the past 20 years. In addition to Katina Taylor, Millennium Laser Eye Center’s clientele include such noted people as Miami Heat Star Dwyane Wade, Olympic gold-medal goaltender Roberto Luongo, former Miami Dolphin Ronnie Brown, and MLB pitching aces AJ Burnett and Josh Johnson as well as entertainers like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Gabrielle Union, Entourage’s Rex Lee (“Lloyd”) and Ryan Cabrera. Dr. Lessner is also the Official LASIK Provider for the Miami Heat, Miami Dolphins, Florida Panthers and Florida Marlins.
“As a mother of three active kids, I don’t want to miss a single moment from any flag football game, dance recital or school play that my children participate in,” explains Taylor. “Once I decided that LASIK would correct my nearsightedness and ensure that I could see my family with clarity, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that I wanted Dr. Lessner to perform the procedure. I am thrilled to now have this opportunity to partner with Dr. Lessner and his staff at Millennium Laser Eye Centers because I know firsthand how effective they are and the quality of care that they provide.”
“It is my ultimate professional goal to help as many patients as I can to get the most out of life by eliminating or greatly reducing their dependence upon corrective eyewear. Anything I can do to further advance the publics’ understanding of the profound benefits of these procedures should help in this light” says Dr. Lessner. “In regards to Katina, we are thrilled that the LASIK procedure has had such a wonderful impact on her life that she is willing to use her public persona to make others aware of how easy, safe and effective new LASIK is and attest to the profound benefits it can provide.”
LASIK, refers to the process of reshaping the clear visual cover of the eye, known as the cornea, through the use of a laser.
