LASIK for the U.S. Speedskating Team
Since 2012 Dr. Pamel has been the official LASIK provider for the U.S. Speedskating team where he has donated his time and services to those speedskaters who desired to have LASIK to assist in their performance. Speedskating is the fastest sport on foot where skaters can travel up to 45 miles per hour on the ice. The force of the wind against the skaters’ face can cause contact lenses to dislodge and even fly out of the eye. This cannot only be a competitive disadvantage but can also be extremely dangerous to the skater, as a sudden loss of vision can cause the skater to crash.
Congratulations to Erin Jackson for winning the gold medal in Speedskating for the 2022 Winter Olympics, becoming the first American woman to win speedskating gold in two decades and the first African American woman to win an individual gold medal at the Winter Olympics!
We also wanted to give a shout out to Brittany Bowe for giving up her spot so Erin could compete! Congratulations to Brittany for winning the bronze medal in Beijing for the 1000m event.
