Chances are you personally know several people who have had successful LASIK procedures, not to mention the countless celebrities as well. LASIK have been performed for over 15 years now.

How do I find the right doctor?
You have probably seen lots of advertising for doctors in your local city, right? And if you have been surfing on the web, you have20also been overwhelmed with information about various LASIK surgeons promising to be the best. The good news is that there are many very good surgeons out there. But what LEADING LASIK SURGEONS offers is the chance to know you are getting referred to a high quality, experienced surgeon without having to do all of the shopping around yourself. We have done that for you! And not only will you have a great surgeon, but will also discover that the staff in that office is trained in clinical and customer service so that you can have the best patient experience ever. After all, you only have one pairs of eyes and having a surgical procedure on them can be nerve racking...we know that and pride ourselves on treating EVERY patient as if they were our ONLY patient.
How do I understand what technology is right for me?
Wavefront, custom, all-laser, flying spot, microkeratome, tracking, scanning....it's all a bit overwhelming. The good news is that all of this technology means that many advances have been made in the LASIK procedures, now making it the most commonly perform ed elective procedure as well as one of the safest. There are many opinions out there about what is the best technology. First of all, if someone tells you that their laser or flap making technology is the 'best', don't trust them! A very experienced surgeon may favor a particular technology, but often times surgeons have multiple technology options in their offices to provide the right technology option depending on the needs of a particular patient....a personalized approach. LASIK is NOT a one size fits all procedure. The LEADING LASIK SURGEONS all have multiple technology options in their offices. The staff will spend the time to explain the benefits of each option, and make a recommendation on what is best for YOU!
Why do prices vary so much, and how do I get a good deal?
During these challenging economic times, price has to be an important consideration for everyone. You are willing to pay a reasonable price as long as you receive a high quality service in return. But just what is 'reasonable'? As the LASIK industry has grown, so has the competition. Sometimes it seems like everyone is trying to make a buck. But a medical procedure, in this case LASIK, is not the place to cut corners.
So buyer beware...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Most advertisements for $299 LASIK are just a come on to get you in the door until you find out that YOUR price for LASIK is much higher than that. Well that's just false advertising, so don't trust it. If you see a very low price advertised, you need to make sure that it includes everything! Not just the procedure, but your visits before the procedures, any medications necessary and follow up visits after the procedure. Don't be fooled.
At the same time, there are some surgeons who continue to charge at the high end of the range...sometimes as high as $2500 per eye. But does spending more really get you a better procedure or more 'value' for your dollar?
LEADING LASIK SURGEONS believe that there is a fair price for LASIK which provides high quality and value to the patient while allowing for a reasonably profitable business...now doesn't that sound right? As of the end of 2008, the average prices for LASIK in the US were around $2000 per eye. The average price for a LEADING LASIK SURGEON is about $1500 per eye, so you can see what a good value this is. When you have your FREE LASIK vision exam (A $100 value!), you will find out exactly what your price is depending on your particular eyes and needs.
Even if the price is fair and reasonable, are there ways to make the procedure more 'affordable' for me?
