Children who wear glasses endure wisecracks including “four-eyes” and “Einstein,” while those with perfect vision bask in compliments such as “two-eyes” and “Oppenheimer.” Sharpen your sight with today's Groupon: for $2,500, you get LASIK eye surgery at Khanna Vision Institute in Westlake Village (a $6,000 value).

Winner of the 2011 Ventura County Star Readers' Choice for Best Lasik Surgeon, Dr. Rajesh Khanna refocuses fuzzy vision with expertly executed laser procedures. The doctor begins each visit with a 30-minute preoperative exam, explaining the procedure to patients, checking out soon-to-be-operated-upon eyes, and reminding patients to disarm life-stealing death gazes during surgery. If necessary, WaveFront technology precisely maps the surface of both orbs before Dr. Khanna accesses the eye’s inner workings with a customized microkeratome device. A VISX laser then reshapes eye tissue, dispatching lock-stepping Imperial stormtroopers who quickly correct poorly focusing lenses. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities immediately, and the procedure includes follow-up appointments and touchups within one year of the surgery.
