Guildford, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2017 -- TV star Ruth Langsford, host of ITV's popular daytime shows Loose Women and This Morning has been announced as the third confirmed celebrity to take part in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
What may come as a surprise to many fans is that the celebrity's long standing dream of participating in Strictly Come Dancing has been enhanced through successful eye lens replacement surgery carried out at the Optegra Eye Hospital. The revolutionary permanent vision correction treatment empowers people to bin their glasses or contact lenses, and following treatment, Ruth described the experience as 'liberating and life-changing'.
Indeed, Ruth's participation in Strictly is the embodiment of what permanent vision correction treatments such as Lens Replacement and Laser Eye Surgery are meant to achieve for patients. Changing lives for the better is precisely the aim Optegra Eye Health Care have for all vision correction patients.
Talking about her Lens Replacement surgery prior to her announcement as a Strictly Come Dancing participant, Ruth described her ongoing anguish at being at the mercy of glasses. "Life before the surgery was very irritating and frustrating. It was particularly difficult at work if I had to readjust from reading auto cue or interviewing guests to checking facts on my notes. I would have to have my glasses to hand at all times, to put them on to read my notes and then take them off again."
After realising she was unsuitable for Laser Eye Surgery following a consultation with Optegra, Ruth was recommended for Lens Replacement (Clarivu) which not only corrects long and short sightedness but also prevents cataracts from developing. Lens Replacement can be an ideal permanent vision restoration option for those in their 50's for whom laser eye surgery is not suitable. At Optegra Eye Health Care, the revolutionary lens replacement procedure takes just 15 minutes per eye, whereby the eye's natural lens is replaced with a new and permanent Intra Ocular lens.
Freedom from glasses for Ruth Langsford has meant she has been able to realise her dream of competing in the Strictly Come Dancing show which boasts a cult like following. "I have dreamt about doing Strictly for so long, I can't believe my dream has come true!"
