All those glossy magazines persistently portray the perfect, seamless faces of our favourite celebrities that we have come to know, love and generally want to look like.

But take those faces from touch-up to the truth and you will find that no face is really that flawless. Celebrities suffer the same annoying but seemingly unavoidable beauty and health problems that we do such as bad skin, dental problems and poor eyesight but they are so quick with the cover up and the corrective surgery that no one would ever know, particularly when it comes to laser eye surgery.

Well the truth is out there and the list of celebrities that have undergone laser eye surgery is larger than you might think, with some surprising names making an appearance. Those people who are in the know when it comes to celebrity culture are likely to already have seen Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson, Phillip Schofield and Jess and Rickie from reality show, TOWIE, having undergone the surgery on their own television shows but other celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, Courtney Cox, Richard Branson, Tiger Woods and even Cilla Black are also believed to have had laser eye surgery.

Despite the celebrity world predominantly being ruled by appearances, in addition to wanting to look the part, our favourite celebrities are likely to have opted for the surgery due to the practical benefits. Those who suffer from poor eyesight know that vision correction is not all about wanting to improve an image; one of the main appeals is that everyday tasks such as reading, writing and playing sports is made significantly easier when glasses or contact lenses are not required. Incidentally, these are tasks that celebrities are often faced with when acting, singing or partaking in competitive sports.
