A: With laser vision correction, safety, outcomes, and patient satisfaction should be the driving force behind your choice, not cost. And, quite frankly, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a center offering discount LASIK. Pricing based on your prescription and additional charges for premium technology make even “discount” LASIK more expensive than our fee.

A: This is an important decision. Make sure to take the time to ask questions and then consider your choices carefully. A primary consideration is the training and experience of the ophthalmologist who will perform your surgery. The surgeon you select should be a board-certified ophthalmologist with advanced training in vision correction surgical techniques.

Additional training such as a fellowship in refractive surgery is a good indication as well. Ophthalmologists who specialize in vision correction surgery generally spend considerable time investigating new technology and analyzing their outcomes.
