Is Contoura® Vision worth it?

 

Cost Considerations for LASIK

Budgeting tips for laser eye surgery to help you see the bigger picture 

Today versus Tomorrow

Investing in LASIK surgery today can give you savings for tomorrow. This one-time procedure corrects your vision accurately, so that you no longer need to maintain glasses or contact lenses. Not only does this save you money, but it also saves you valuable time you could use on the things that truly matter. 

Short-term versus Long-term Savings

If you use glasses or contact lenses, the costs add up when you consider regular check-ups with your eye doctor, lenses replenishment, or when your degree changes. In the long run, the savings of undergoing LASIK may be bigger. And because Topography-guided LASIK is personalized according to each person's unique corneal profile, there wouldn't be a need to go for another LASIK procedure in the future. It would be good to also check with your employer or insurance provider if they can cover your LASIK surgery. 

Settling vs Freedom

There are many benefits to getting LASIK that you just can’t put a price tag on. Without glasses or contact lenses holding you back, you have the freedom to pursue new hobbies or sports. It could improve your self-confidence. And because Contoura® Vision is so accurate, the satisfactory results1 will give you peace of mind.
