As anyone who has accidentally called a boss "mom" knows, being able to tell who's who is vital to the preservation of dignity. Put life into focus with today's Groupon: for $2,450, you get traditional laser eye correction for both eyes at North Shore Eye Care in Smithtown (a $6,000 value).

Wielding more than 40 years of experience and an arsenal of high-tech equipment, North Shore Eye Care helps alleviate the burden of near- and farsightedness with noninvasive laser procedures. As official eye care provider of the New York Islanders and the official LASIK provider of the New York Mets, the clinic’s board of certified surgeons can zap unwieldy glasses and irksome contacts out of necessity with this outpatient procedure by utilizing laser technology and a 1956 subway map. Patients’ corneal topography is first analyzed to determine the areas to be adjusted, and then a computerized laser is used to shuffle the corneal deck to correct vision impairments. Squinters take a mild oral sedative before the procedure but stay awake for the entire process. The procedure is completed in roughly 15 minutes, leaving patients to swiftly recover while the laser machine steps out for a celebratory round of golf.

Most patients recover from surgery after resting for a few hours and are able to see clearly enough to drive or pick their favorite mascot out of a lineup as early as the next day. Patients may choose to upgrade to a bladeless treatment for an additional $1,500. North Shore’s office is a state-of-the-art operating center dedicated to safety and sterility, protecting the health of all patients.
