The Real Value of Lasik Eye Surgery

People often don’t think about the full picture and the impact LASIK has on your wallet and your daily life. For example, if you are paying, on average, $500 per year for contact lenses or eyeglass prescriptions, that cost will add up to quite a bit over a lifetime. If you started wearing glasses or contact lenses when you were 15 years old and wear them until you are 65 or 70, that’s $25,000 to $27,500 over that 50 to 55-year period. In addition, as you get older, your prescription changes and becomes worse, which means that you might need prescription eyeglasses for long distances and another one for reading. That’s doubling your cost every year.

LASIK Eye Surgery Basics

LASIK eye surgery (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is currently one of the most frequently performed elective procedures in North America.

This procedure involves the use of an excimer laser to reshape the cornea to correct a patient’s vision error. The results can eliminate or reduce your need for glasses and contact lenses. All with just a 10 – 15 minute procedure.

Additional Treatment options include Refractive Lens Exchange & Implantable Contact Lens. Request a consultation today to learn which advanced vision correction procedure is right for you.
