Announcer: Look at this picture perfect guy, he's got the lady and the lifestyle to be envied.

Lorenzo Lamas: "I'm the luckiest guy in the world!!"

Announcer: But Lorenzo revealed to Hard Copy a flaw he wants to fix.  To see what it is, just look into those big beautiful eyes.

Lorenzo Lamas: "I used to be so vain that in my 20's, I would not wear glasses to drive with in the daytime.  I had to wear them at night because I would crash into light posts."

Announcer: Lorenzo's poor eyesight has haunted him since childhood.

Lorenzo Lamas: "What's gonna be really nice is just going to be able to see, the way I was supposed to see when I was born."

Announcer: Thanks to modern science, he's about to see with 20/20 vision.

Dr. Andrew Caster: "People say that having the surgery is one of the most important things -- one of the most amazing things -- that's ever happened to them."

Announcer: Dr. Andrew Caster has earned the title of the eye surgeon to the stars with a 15-minute procedure called LASIK.

Dr. Andrew Caster: "We put a little machine on the eye that's going to peel back the top layers of the cornea and then we will apply the laser energy.  That's the procedure; It's that simple."

Announcer: The painless and scarless surgery eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Dr. Andrew Caster: "Overall, 95% of the patients will pass their driver's test without glasses or contacts after the surgery."

Announcer: Dr. Caster has also zapped other action hero's like Kevin Sorbo.

Dr. Andrew Caster: "Like Lorenzo, Kevin does a lot of action work.  It was really hard on him until he had the surgery, and now he's Hercules."

Announcer: So what did the surgery do for Lorenzo?

Lorenzo speaking  immediately after having surgery: (Lorenzo  getting up from surgery chair) "Oh my god, I can see!!!! I can see!!! I can see your eyes, I can see your teeth…Oh my god!!"  (Hugs Dr. Caster)

Dr. Andrew Caster: "Congratulations!!"

Announcer: It turned the tough guy into a teddy bear right before your eyes.

Lorenzo leaving the surgery center: (Crying) "I can see, I can go look at my daughter now!!"
