Saving money is great, especially during a recession, but there are some things you just shouldn’t compromise on—and your health is a big one.

Think about it: switching from brand-name to generic cereal or isn’t a big sacrifice, just a slight difference in taste. And a half-price haircut will grow out if you don’t love it as much as your more pricey coif. But most medical procedures are meant to be permanent, making them one place you definitely don’t want to cut corners.

This includes laser eye surgery, and for good reason: think about how important your eyes are to your daily life. Sure, glasses and contact lenses can be annoying, but there are worse situations than corrective lenses– a scary reality many who go for “discount” Lasik surgery soon face. You pay for what you get, and when it comes to your eyes, you want to make sure you get the best.

Why We Are Not a Discount Lasik Center

Yes, Lasik has come down in price as it increased in popularity, and many insurance programs can help defray the out of pocket cost for patients. But there is just no such thing as $299 Lasik; no reputable doctor or surgeon could or would perform this procedure at that low rate.

Viso Lasik Medspas offers state of the art, custom Blade Free Lasik that uses a 3D map of your eye to develop an individualized treatment plan by our world renowned doctors for addressing your vision correction needs. The combination of the expertise of our doctors and cutting edge technology dramatically minimizes any complications associated with a blade cutting across the cornea. Unlike many Lasik centers, Viso Lasik Medspas also utilizes the Allegretto Wave Excimer 200Hz Laser, the most innovative and premier laser available in the world today.

Sales are easy to find right now, but they are not created equal. To paraphrase one of our dealhunting friends, there are just some things you don’t buy generic. The hidden costs of opting for discount Lasik will end up totaling much more than standard laser eye surgery performed by a reputable surgeon—in money, as well as time and stress.
