LASIK is a practical and financially responsible decision– not an expensive luxury. Did you know that LASIK actually saves the average patient money over time? Most Americans spend over $500-$900 per year for their prescription glasses, frames, contact lenses & supplies, and optometric fees (That totals $10,000-$18,000 over 20 years, which doubles or triples the cost of LASIK!) So, the REAL question is, “Can you afford to keep wearing glasses and contacts?”
