July 15, 2005Laser Eye Surgery $499Laser Eye Surgery $499 - A Good Idea? I've had problems with my right eye since birth. I suffer from both a cataract and astigmatism in this eye. Lately, I have been considering laser eye surgery and have seen a number of deals. The question I am asking myself is $499 laser eye surgery seems kind of cheap and is there a risk involved with a cheaper service? I've read a lot of reports stating that when LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) centers offer laser eye surgery for $499 to $999 per eye, they are usually cutting corners. Some of the problems with discounted laser eye surgery are inaccurate eye measurements, lack of standard eye sterilization techniques, inferior equipment and worst of all, an inexperienced surgeon. The reports also state that you should be skeptical of any LASIK surgery that costs less than $1,600 per eye. I actually saw a good comparison on a reputable laser eye surgery site. It states that your eye is connected to your brain and most sane people would not go out and look for a discount brain surgeon. This makes perfect sense, why would you want to put your eye sight at risk in order to save a few thousand dollars. If there is one sense you don't want to mess with it is your sight. I don't think anybody would forgive themselves if they became blind due cheap LASIK surgery. The nice thing about writing this entry is I have now convinced myself that laser eye surgery $499 is not for me. I will spend more to make sure i don't put my sight at risk.
