Denver Laser Eye Surgery doctors

We always have concern whenconsidering lasik on a patient with dry eyes.  Having said that it is a matter of degree and the what refractive error with which we are dealing.  Small amounts of treatment are not as concerning as larger amounts.  Farsightedness has worse dryness complications than nearsightedness.  Pre-treatment of the dry eye problem is very helpful.
 

This is a question I get all the time.  How can one LASIK center offer such a low price while most reputable surgeons are charging between $1600 - $2500? It seems incredible!

Here's some advice: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Of the millions of people who have undergone LASIK in its ten plus years since inception, you would be hard pressed to find one who only paid $299 per eye. For example, a certain Laser Center advertises Lasik surgery on one eye from $299. While the fine print lists an incremental rise in the price depending on the level of myopia, you must also qualify for the promotion by having good credit. This Laser Center has previously been found guilty for operating a bait and switch tactic whereby patients were lured in by the low price but were then told they didn’t qualify for it. Lasik eye surgery price promotions like these usually come to light sooner or later.

Recently a patient reported to our office that he went in to a laser center that advertised $499 per eye. After his consultation, however, when they added a fee for his level of myopia, another fee for his level of astigmatism, a fee for his credit rating, and a fee for the lifetime guarantee, his total was over $2200 per eye. His price was higher if he wanted to have post op visits included as well!

The moral of this response,  however, is not beware of false advertising, nor is it even a warning to read the fine print. Rather the moral is that price should NOT be the main reason you choose a LASIK surgeon. Choosing a well-established trusted eye surgeon who has your best interests in mind should concern you more than the cost of the procedure. These are your eyes, after all, and LASIK surgery is surgery. Even though it is a very popular procedure that seems rather routine, there are risks that are associated with any type of surgical procedure. Before you go under the laser, do your homework: choose a reputable doctor who makes you feel comfortable and who is conservative when predicting your potential outcome. Another good rule of thumb: When in doubt, don't.

Without getting into the details of your question, the Wavelight laser has the greatest range of corrections available in the USA.  It produces excellent results in most cases but in all lasers it is possible to have undercorrections and vision disturbances.  In your case it sounds like you have a slight undercorrection at this point, but you are onlly 6 weeks post op and without knowing the full scope of your situation it is hard to comment.  You should return to your provider and explain your concerns.  Most likely your vision and quality will improve with more time.
