LeBron James had a Lasik surgery.

As I am planning undergoing a Lasik surgery as soon as I can afford it, I read today that LeBron James trusted the Lasik technology and successfully recovered from his surgery.

A report about James' decision is available on the USAEyes website.

Does a Lasik surgery should be considered cheating?

I don't think so. I can understand the point of those who can consider undergoing a Lasik surgery cheating. It in fact does enhance the athlete performances. The only nuance that makes me say that this is not cheating is the fact that many athletes goes for a surgery for a physical related problem like for example a knee or an elbow and are not labeled as cheaters. Why such a surgery for the eyes should be treated differently?
