University Hospitals offering FREE LASIK surgery Marines

Director Wants To Help Marines
Because Of Their Sacrifice

CLEVELAND -- University Hospitals is offering LASIK vision correction for free to area Marines. The director of UH's laser vision center wanted to help local Marines because of the sacrifice they've given. Gino Vromelia is a nuclear defense specialist with the 3rd battalion 25th regiment in Brook Park, and says it's hard to be in the desert of Iraq with contacts. Vromelia says this surgery is a great opportunity, and he is grateful for the hospital's support. The hospital will perform the procedure on six patients a month through March.
