If you are searching for the perfect gift for your sweetheart, consider giving the gift of LASIK…and the possibility of 20/20 vision. Valentine’s Day is all about showing loved ones how much you care, and what better way to show your love than by arranging a free LASIK consultation?
LASIK eye surgery can correct
the refractive errors that cause nearsightedness, farsightedness and
astigmatism. These are the conditions that cause people to need glasses or
contact lenses to see clearly. Unfortunately, not every person is a good
candidate for this procedure. The only way to determine if your loved one is a
good LASIK candidate is through a comprehensive consultation and eye exam by a
reputable LASIK provider.
If your loved one finds out
that LASIK is right for his or her eyes, you can decide together how to
proceed. There are often LASIK financing options available to help pay for the
procedure, which costs, on average, $1,600 - $2,500 per
eye, depending on the type of technology used. Steer clear of discount LASIK
providers that advertise the procedure for less than $600 per eye – these often
have hidden fees, are performed with inexperienced surgeons or use outdated
technologies that can lead to vision complications.
When performed by a reputable
and experienced LASIK surgeon, many LASIK patients achieve 20/20 vision – or
better – after the procedure, and they often experience a visual freedom they
have never had in their lives. Now that’s an amazing Valentine’s Day gift!
Of course, risks accompany any
type of surgery and LASIK is no exception. Vision changes, such as halos,
glare, double vision and starbursts; dry eye syndrome; vision loss and the need
for glasses after LASIK are some of the risks. Discuss these complication
possibilities with your LASIK provider.
