Dr. Levinson's Lasik Blog

Often times potential Laser Vision Correction patients believe they have more desire and want for Laser Vision Correction then they actually have the means for. At first glance, this attitude can be understood, with average costs ranging between $3,500 and $4,200 for both eyes. However, a closer, more in-depth analysis of price can reveal a far more affordable situation. The easiest way to create a more realistic scenario on life-enhancing Laser Vision Correction is to apply for LASIK financing.
While it is a wonderful feeling to be able to pay for services outright, it is just not possible many times. Here, at Dr. Levinson's office, we encounter many deserving patients of Laser Vision Correction each day who budget and plan accordingly, in an effort to afford such a wonderful procedure. Their solution, often times, is financing with Vision Fee Plan. Because of Dr. Levinson's preferred surgeon status, Vision Fee Plan offers his patients the option of its 18 month, no interest, financing plan. Now, a once unattainable procedure becomes much more realistic with affordable payments.

It seems there have been quite a few PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) procedures at our office over the last month or two. I find often times our patients or patients-to-be believe PRK is outdated, as well as the technology associated with this procedure. In fact, this is not true. To this day, PRK provides patients outstanding results that are achieved with less risk than with the now, more popular, LASIK. In the past, the down side with PRK was the amount of time required to recover and the level of discomfort associated with the procedure. However, over the past several months - with the help of medicated eye drops and Tylenol with codeine - discomfort levels have been very tolerable, according to some of our more recent patients. PRK is a fantastic procedure for correcting refractive errors, with state-of-the-art custom-wavefront technology available. In addition, it can allow patients who are not LASIK candidates (corneas too thin or past retinal detachments) to experience life without correction as well.
