Top Questions to Ask Your LASIK Provider
- By:Anthony Evangelista
For more than a decade, LASIK has been delivering amazing vision results to millions of individuals. LASIK is widely considered to be a reliable, effective way to eliminate or reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Here are the top questions you should ask your LASIK provider to ensure that you get the optimum level of care:
What Type of LASIK Technology Do You Use?
LASIK technology has continued to evolve ever since it was introduced in the early 1990s. Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center has always been committed to providing their patients with the latest, most advanced technology available. Today Dr. David Kleiman and Dr. Anthony Evangelista use the Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK procedure. This all-laser approach is safer and more accurate, providing the increased precision that many LASIK patients demand.
How Experienced is Your LASIK Surgeon?
They say practice makes perfect. While no surgeon is perfect, choosing a more experienced LASIK surgeon can help to minimize risk. Dr. David Kleiman and Dr. Anthony Evangelista have more than 30 years of combined experience. They have helped thousands of patients discover improved vision, with a vast majority achieving 20/20 vision or better.
What is Your Screening Process?
An in-depth screening process can help ensure that you are a good candidate for the LASIK procedure. Issues such as high myopia, thin corneas and diabetes can increase your risk for complications. At Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center, we thoroughly screen each patient at his or her free VIP consultation. In addition, we also utilize WaveScan® technology to gather up to 25 times more information about your vision than traditional pre-operative techniques.
How Much Does LASIK Cost?
The price of improved vision can vary widely from one LASIK provider to another. Interestingly, the lowest price doesn't always mean the best deal. Some LASIK providers advertise bargain prices merely to get you in the door, only to add on additional fees later. At Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center, the price we quote you is the price you'll pay. All pre-op, post-op and surgical care is included in the all-inclusive price.
What Kind of Financing Do You Offer?
To help make LASIK more affordable, most LASIK providers offer financing. At Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center, we offer several flexible, affordable financing options through CareCredit®, a financing company backed by GE. Through these financing plans, patients at Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center can achieve great vision with options such as zero percent financing for up to 24 months.About the author:
