Cost Comparison
All vision correction surgery is not the same. Lower priced procedures may not include newer technology, such as the Intralase femtosecond laser, the Allegretto Wave Eye Q laser, or Advanced Astigmatism Analysis. Some centers let the patient pick which laser they would like to use based on price, or bring in a lower-cost laser on a truck on the day of surgery. The newest and most advanced technology is the safest and most precise, and the surgeon should be the one choosing the best technology — not the patient. Think about how important your eyes are to you. Would you go to the cheapest brain surgeon for brain surgery and pick the instruments that he or she used?
When deciding whether to have vision correction surgery, consider the cost of the alternatives:
