The Truth About Lasik Deals

Eye care has undergone various phases of transformation over the years

. There was a time when people thought that glasses were the ultimate invention to achieve clear vision. Contact lenses became popular after that. Advancements in the vision technology have given birth to a revolutionary innovation, LASIK. Now we do not have to wear big goggle like glasses or filmy lenses to see clearly. LASIK surgery is the greatest development in the field of ophthalmology. However, the competition grew with the growing number of LASIK surgeons in the market and the main motive for most of these surgeons has become money making and increasing the number of surgeries. This is why some surgeons opt to offer deep discount on their services by using websites such as Group On, Living Social and Amazon Local. A lot of patients jump on the opportunity to snag a LASIK deal for more than 60% off the regular price, but what they fail to realize is they are getting an outdated technology which is more likely to cause side effects and imperfect outcomes.

Most of these discounted LASIK deals indicate that the patient will be getting Conventional LASIK, but what they fail to indicate is that with conventional LASIK, a surgeon uses a microkeratome which is a mini hand held surgical blade that creates a thin corneal flap in the surface of the cornea. After that, the surgeon folds back the corneal flap and the cornea is then reshaped using an Excimer laser. Whereas with the new technology, a surgeon creates the corneal flap with a pre-programmed laser instead of the blade, which helps reduce recovery time and side effects. Once the patient goes in for their consultation, the surgeon tries to up sell them on the newer technology, by that time, the patient had already purchased the deal, and have no other choice but to upgrade to the newer technology as no one will ever risk the safety of their eyes for money. The prescreening before a Lasik surgery is also very important. Each persons eye has different characteristics. In some cases, Lasik technology may not be the ideal choice for vision aid, rather it can be harmful. The Lasik cannot be done for people who have eyes with large pupils and problems with tear duct functionality.

The eye is very sensitive and fragile, so prescreening is an important procedure before LASIK. Certain clinics offer discounted and special rates for the surgery. People fall for these traps without knowing the menaces. A surgeon offering a discount will be doing the surgery using outdated technology which can harm the patient. This is a very disgusting trend degrading the ethics of the medical field. The surgeons should be more responsible and the patients should be aware of the complications of Lasik to avoid any mishappenings.
