Professional Skier Jen Hudak Picks Hoopes Vision For Her LASIK Surgery in Utah

By Hoopesvision on June 10, 2013

Jen Hudak is no stranger to risk. In fact, some observers might say it’s her stock-in-trade. As a two-time medalist at the World Championships and five-time medalist at the Winter X-Games in the high-flying sport of half-pipe skiing, she’s used to lightning speed, 1080 degree spins, and catching huge air, with nothing but her reflexes and training to ensure she lands on her skis.

When it came to surgery on her eyes, however, Jen was all about safety and proven results. As she prepares to pursue an Olympic dream made newly possible by the inclusion of half-pipe skiing in the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics, Jen decided it was time to look into LASIK surgery to get rid of the contact lenses she had worn for most of her life. Her research and inquiries into LASIK vision correction surgery providers – Whom can I trust? Who has the most experience? Who has the most advanced LASIK technology? – led Jen to Utah’s Hoopes Vision.

After thorough pre-operative testing, she had blade-free custom LASIK performed on both eyes by Dr. Phillip C. Hoopes, Sr. in May. At her post-op checkup the next morning, Jen was already seeing better than 20/20! Now free from glasses and contact lenses, Jen is back to training and working toward her dreams of Olympic glory, and we here at Hoopes Vision wish her luck!

Some of Hoopes Vision’s Recent Contest Winners

By Hoopesvision on May 24, 2013

At Hoopes Vision, we are big fans of contests and giveaways. There’s just something so great about calling someone and getting to tell them “you won”! Every year, we offer multiple opportunities for people to win free vision correction surgery through video contests, photo contests, sporting event half-time shows, and other fun events. Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of honoring one of our “Military Moms” from our recent video contest, by correcting her vision. Angela Hill is married to an active military soldier, currently deployed in Afghanistan and is also a mother. She was nominated for our contest by her mother-in-law Cindy, who also brought her to her surgery appointment.

Each year we look forward to Hoopes Vision Night as an opportunity for us to give a free LASIK surgery to one lucky Jazz fan. This year four couples competed in an on-court obstacle course and layup contest while wearing vision-impairing goggles.
