Richards Undergoes Eye Operation

Rocker Keith Richards has undergone surgery to correct his failing eyesight.

The Rolling Stones legend has been suffering from deteriorating vision over the years, so to celebrate his 68th birthday in December (11), he underwent laser eye surgery.

Richards had the treatment at a London clinic just before Christmas (Dec11) so he won't have to wear glasses or contact lenses any more, reportsBritain's Daily Mirror.

A source tells the publication, "He's music's ultimate survivor but not even the seemingly immortal Keith Richards can stop the march of time. It was a harmless, quick procedure and he's very happy with the results".
