Low Cost Lasik

Many people often see those late night commercials offering very low cost Lasik, and wonder, are those unbelievably low prices for real? Most times, the simple answer is No. Those low price teaser commercials are often designed to reel people in so they can be up sold. Let’s give you an example. You may see Lasik advertised for $500. But when you call, you find out that the cost only covers a small portion of everything you will need. The operating facility fee isn’t included, the anesthesiologist’s fee isn’t covered, and the pre-operative diagnostic tests are covered. Once you add in all of these fees, the total cost often comes out to some absurd figure. Hence, you end up paying more in the long run for “Low Cost Lasik” then you would at a respectable surgeon’s office.
