However in the recent years there are many financing options available that are making LASIK much more affordable for anyone who wants it done.
LASIK typically falls under a cosmetic medical procedure, which is not typically covered by insurance plans. However there are some that do help cover LASIK.
The Georgia Department of Public Safety was awarded a $70,000 grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to improve motorcycle safety in the state.
The grant will be used for six road checks, the first of which will be March 9 along I-75 in Monroe County. During the same time, law enforcement will conduct checks in Chatham County on I-95.
It is during these road checks that officers often find motorcyclists who don't have the right licenses, police said.
Motorcyclists are supposed to have a Class M license, which requires a motorcycle driving test.
"I think one of the biggest problems around here is the lack of a motorcycle class driver's license, which means you haven't proven you can handle one or that you know the law requirements regarding one," said Lt. Roy Willing¬ham of the Rome Police Department.
Sgt. Greg Beck of the Floyd County Police Department said if motorcyclists do not have the proper license and are caught, they will be cited and possibly taken to jail. The motorcycle will be confiscated, but the driver can get it back once they have the proper license.
Most do comply with driving laws, Beck said. Motorcycle violations usually involve speed and reckless driving, he said.
"There is a small percentage that drive recklessly," Beck said. "Those are the ones we are trying to reach."
Law enforcement officials have been cracking down on motorcyclists in an effort to reduce deaths.
Their efforts appear to be working.
In 2008, 167 motorcyclists were killed in crashes in Georgia, according to statistics from the Department of Public Safety.
That number dropped to 110 last year. So far this year, six motorcyclists have lost their lives in wrecks.
Lt. Col. Mark McDonough, deputy commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, said the department initiated a public education project in 2009 to raise awareness among all drivers of the need to watch for motorcyclists.
The efforts included safety education presentations to school, church and civic groups by Georgia State Troopers as well as media outreach.

After a Car Accident it is important to:
1. Call the police. Leaving the scene of an accident without notifying the police is a crime in New York State.
2. Write down the license plate of the other car involved as well as the make and model.
3. Don’t argue with the other driver. Stay in your car and wait for the police to arrive.
4. If you feel pain, go to the hospital to get checked out.
5. Take photos of the other car, the location of the accident, and your injuries. If you dont have a camera with you, check if your cell phone can be used to take pictures.
6. When the police arrive, tell them your version of what happened. Remember, the police officer did not see the accident so he will jot down what is described by both parties.
7. If you didn’t go to the hospital, but feel pain later than night, the next day, or soon thereafter - go to a medical doctor. The type of specialty that most people involved in car accidents go to is called physical therapy, pain management, and or rehabilitation.
8. Exchange driver’s license and insurance information with the other driver.
9. If anyone saw the accident, ask them to write down their name, address, and phone number. Find out if they would be willing to be a witness. Usually a witness doesn’t need to do much more then exchange their name and be available in case of a trial. At most, the witness would be required to give a quick deposition or statement of what he or she saw.
10. Call an attorney as soon as possible. Frekhtman & Associates, Attorneys at Law, is a law firm dedicated to representing individuals injured in motor vehicle accidents.
