Lasik is one of the most successful procedures performed in this country and the world?

A meta-analysis dated March 2008 performed by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery over 3,000 peer-reviewed articles published over the past 10 years in clinical journals from around the world, including 19 studies comprising 2,200 patients that looked directly at satisfaction, revealed a 95.4 percent patient satisfaction rate among LASIK patients worldwide.

Lasik is one of the safest procedures performed in this country?

On October 10, 2006, WebMD reported that statistical analysis revealed that contact lens wear infection risk is greater than the infection risk from LASIK.

Lasik is as safe as contact lenses in terms of infection?

According to a study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology, October 2006 edition, researchers have confirmed that LASIK surgery as performed this year is safer than contact lens use. Sight threatening infections from contact lens use occur in 1 in 2,000 contact lens wearers, whereas the study confirms that only one in 10,000 patients risk significant vision loss due to complications from LASIK, making LASIK the safest elective procedure being performed today.

Lasik is less expensive than contacts?

A three months supply of a typical contact lens costs about $44. That’s $176 a year. Most people start wearing contacts in their teens. If you wear contacts from age 20 to age 45 that’s 20 years of contact lens wear. Assuming that the price never increases, which is not likely, that’s 25 x $176=$4,400! The average cost of Lasik is just a little over $4,000 for both eyes, At Keil Lasik Vision Center it’s even less than that!

Lasik is less time consuming than contacts?

If you spend 1 minute per day putting your contacts in and taking them out that’s 365 minutes per year. Lasik only takes about 4 minutes per eye. Envision what you could do with the other 357 minutes!

Lasik is cheaper than glasses?

If you only buy a new pair of glasses every other year you’re likely to spend $200 on a decent pair of glasses. If you do that from age 15 to 55, 40 years, that’s $4,000! Again more than what you’ll pay for Lasik at Keil Lasik Vision Center.

Lasik is less time consuming than glasses?

If you spend 15 seconds per day putting your glasses on and off, cleaning them, and pushing them up your nose, that’s 91 ¼  minutes per year. With 8 minutes of Lasik you gain over an hour in your first year alone.

Lasik treats nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism?
