Has anybody had the laser eye surgery done at LASIK Vision Institute in Houston,!
Question: Has anybody had the laser eye surgery done at LASIK Vision Institute in Houston, TX!?
If so, how was your experience!.
I went to an appointment with them yesterday and they seemed to be great, but the thing that amused me was the price because it was so cheap!. I know that the prices have dropped but I've been shopping around and they are between $4000 and $5000 for both eyes, and they only charged me $2,700 with a lifetime insurance for BOTH eyes, which is GREAT and I'm really excited about it, but know I'm wondering if they are good enough!. I have a friend who lives in Dallas and she had in done 2 months ago, she paid $6,500!. So, does anybody know if they are reliable and if LASIK Vision Institute is a safe place for that kind of surgery!?!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

I live in Alabama!. I paid $3200 for both eyes!. It all really just depends on your eye sight before!. If they are a trusted and very well known place, then have it done!! I dont regret it at all!. Be aware though, your eyes will be extremely dry for a while!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Lasik Vision Institute and all the other huge corporate Lasik centers are all about numbers!. They use lesser lasers, they reuse blades meant for one time use, they have optometrists(Not real doctors) do the pre op and post op and the surgeon does just the surgery!. The surgeon is usually only an employee and the optometrists are the owners!. Optometrists are good at glasses and contacts but think they should have more influence in eyecare and their lobby fought to get them the privilege of writing prescriptions and in some states, they are trying to be allowed to do surgery!. They are not even medical doctors, have not gone to med school,but they want to be called "Optometric Physicians"!. WHAT A JOKE!!! Go see a private practice Ophthalmologist and pay the extra money for a real eye doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
