The Eyes Have It

PEOPLE WEEKLY

It’s not just vanity that has stars such as Courtney Cox Arquette and Brad Pitt getting LASIK eye surgery. The procedure, which improves vision by reshaping the cornea, is actually a smart career move.

“If people are doing close-ups of your eyes, you don’t want the redness and irritation that comes with a contact,” explains L.A. doc Robert K. Maloney, who zapped Cindy Crawford, among others. Crooner Barry Manilow says he now connects with the audience instead of “seeing a blur.” As for Party of Five’s Jeremy London, says Maloney, he got the fix while on the show because “he wanted to see (costar) Neve Campbell better.” Say no more.
