When considering vision correction surgery, one important aspect is the cost of the surgery. LASIK and other procedures are considered elective and not covered by insurance. The current marketplace can be confusing why do some providers advertise a low price is not all the same? If you have done your research, you will realize that all vision correction surgery is not the same. The lower price may not include newer technology, such as the Intralase laser. Some centers let the patient pick which laser they would like to use based on price. The newest and most advanced technology is going to be the safest, and most precise, and your surgeon should be the one preparing your treatment plan for the best results, not the patient. Think about how important your eyes are to you. Would you go to the cheapest heart surgeon for open heart surgery or pick out the surgical plan? |
