You have most likely seen ads online or heard ads on the radio advertising discount LASIK eye surgery. “$1,000 off LASIK!” or “LASIK as low as $299/eye!” are some of the most popular discount LASIK advertisements right now. You may have even see a "groupon" for LASIK surgery! It is very important to not let price determine where you will have your LASIK eye surgery. Because all these discount LASIK ads can be confusing, we are here to help you figure out how to make the right decision when choosing a LASIK provider in Charlotte.

Tips to Consider When Evaluation Discount LASIK Eye Surgery

• Read the fine print and ask for specifics about the LASIK discount. Ask how you will receive $1,000 off.
• Ask what type of technology is used for this . Some LASIK practices still perform blade LASIK as opposed to all-laser LASIK which is the current standard of care.
• Ask how they determine the price of LASIK. You may have to pay more if you have a high prescription and even more if you have astigmatism.
• Ask what would your price be without the coupon for . "Regular" LASIK price is often inflated for coupon offers.

When it comes down to it, your decision on where to have LASIK needs to be based on the surgeon. Ask yourself the following questions before scheduling your surgery.

• Can I trust the LASIK surgeon?
• Is the surgeon specialized in his or her field?
• Does the surgeon truly care about me as a person?
