You may have heard claims from LASIK centers that you can
“throw away your eyeglasses” after LASIK or that perhaps going with the lowest
cost provider is the best idea and makes no difference on the quality or
results.
At Charleston Cornea & Refractive Surgery
in Charleston, we believe
in complete transparency with our clients.
We want you to be happy and healthy, whether that means you become our
patient or not. The FDA is clamping down
on LASIK surgeons who make false or exaggerated claims about LASIK or any type
of eye correction surgery. In a news
release last September, the Agency made it clear that anything but total
transparency would not be tolerated.
At Charleston Cornea & Refractive Surgery
in Charleston, we have
always believed in total transparency with our customers. While most patients breeze through the
procedure, LASIK, or other advertised refractive surgery, has risks and potential
complications, and they will be discussed during a surgical consultation prior
to the procedure. Also, LASIK does not
always mean that you can throw away your glasses. Older people, people over 40 and other
individuals may find that they still need reading glasses or other types of
correction even after LASIK.
We are also upfront about costs for the procedures. We’ve heard horror stories about people
looking for low-price deals or coupons, or only paying a few hundred dollars
for LASIK, often with bad results. We
price our services fairly and competitively, in order to provide you with the
highest quality service and procedures and state-of-the-art equipment. When it comes to your eyesight, you don’t
want to sacrifice. Your eyes are worth
it.
