Congratulations Denise!

April 16th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

We were delighted to treat TV presenter and actress Denise Van Outen in January and she popped in the other day for her check up. You may have seen Denise recently on TV as she and several other celebrities decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief. Denise has suffered with glasses for years but the climb was a real push to have laser eye surgery – she did not want to rely on glasses or lenses at the high altitude. After hearing good things about FOCUS from friends she finally decided to go ahead and have treatment.

Denise did brilliantly to reach the top of Kilimanjaro, along with all the other celebs. Red Nose Day has so far raised a whopping £65,000,000 and continues to make a major difference in its 21st year.

    Great story – must have been amazing to journey up the mountain and not have to wear glasses or contacts! Being a climber this makes me really think about having laser eye surgery.
