Fayetteville's Vision Resource Center can't help everyone, but thanks to a donation from Cape Fear Eye Associates it can help a few more: this past July, Cape Fear Eye donated a new bus to the center. The Vision Resource Center (VRC) is located in the Dorothy Gilmore Therapeutic Recreational Center and provides invaluable services to blind and visually-impaired persons in Cumberland County.

LASIK is a surgical procedure that uses a laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. In LASIK, a thin flap in the cornea is created using a femtosecond laser. The surgeon folds back the flap, then removes some corneal tissue underneath using an excimer laser.
