Seeing Clearly On and Off Screen: Actor Will Yun Lee’s LASIK Experience at DLV Vision

When actor Will Yun Lee steps onto set these days, he sees every detail with perfect clarity—something that wasn’t always the case. Known for his powerful performances in “Altered Carbon,” “The Good Doctor,” and his upcoming role in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” Will recently made a decision that transformed both his professional work and everyday life.

Will Yun Lee’s Motivation for LASIK

Will’s primary motivation for undergoing LASIK was the inconvenience of relying on glasses. For an actor, clear vision is crucial for observing expressions and performing effectively on set.
“You get in and you shoot a lot of different scenes and if a person is not too close I’m just kind of guessing,” he told us. “I was always guessing what that person’s expressions were”.

Choosing DLV Vision and Dr. Dougherty

“The amount of care you guys did put me at ease”

Like many of us would for any important decision, Will dove deep into research before choosing where to entrust his vision. What stood out about DLV Vision wasn’t flashy marketing—it was the real voices of patients. He told us his decision to choose our clinic was based on consistent and positive reviews found on Yelp over several years.

Immediate Post-Surgery Benefits

One of the most exciting aspects of LASIK is the often rapid improvement in vision. Will’s experience was no exception.

The morning after his surgery, he noticed a significant difference:

“The first thing I noticed this morning… one day after surgery. Our TV in the living room’s pretty far away and I could actually see it and read all the text on it which was amazing”.

The transformation wasn’t just about sharper vision—it changed his entire daily routine. No more fumbling for glasses on the nightstand or dealing with dry contacts during long film shoots.

Imagining Life Without Glasses?

Will’s story might sound familiar if you’ve been dreaming about freedom from eyewear. Think about it—swimming without worrying about contacts washing out, spontaneous naps without bending frames, and never again experiencing that panic when you can’t find your glasses.
