LASIK: Price Matters

LASIK: Price Matters

Published by Lance Kugler, MD on December 15, 2014

Cheap LASIK is like trusting Uncle Ned to take your wedding photos: LASIK is a once-in-a-lifetime surgery. There is a reason why LASIK costs more when done professionally, with the latest equipment, and by doctors with extensive experience. The price matters.

Our Best Kept Secret to a Great LASIK Experience

When Dr. Kugler built Kugler Vision he started with one simple principle: uncompromising commitment to excellence at every step. We are committed to the best equipment, technology, staff, training, expertise, and experience possible. As with most things in life, one generally gets what one pays for.

Lower priced procedures may be done by surgeons who have not undergone specialized Fellowship training in Refractive Surgery, and key components of the care may be delegated to assistants rather than expert surgeons.

All vision correction surgery is not the same. In order to offer something at a lower price, compromises must be made. Lower priced procedures may not include new technology such as the

• FS200 Femtosecond Laser
• Allegretto Wave laser
• HD Analyzer
• Advanced Astigmatism Analysis

Kugler Vision’s Technology

FS200 Femtosecond Laser is the safest and most precise approach in making a LASIK flap. It also has an unmatched control over flap diameter, depth, centration and morphology.

HD Analyzer takes high definition scans of the eyes to measure the quality of vision and help predict a patient’s best visual acuity by measuring the eyes ability to refract light.

Allegretto Laser is the most sophisticated and best designed laser available for vision correction surgery. The laser uses “PerfectPulse” technology, allowing it to control every single laser pulse, making it the fastest and most precise laser system available.

Advanced Astigmatism Analysis easily detects astigmatism in patients who have subtle forms, which cannot be detected without the vector analysis. With modern laser systems, Kugler Vision can treat astigmatisms very well with LASIK surgery.

Eye surgery is a life-changing event that should not be taken lightly, nor approached with anything less than the very best available technique and technology. To learn more about the advanced technology offered at Kugler Vision, please visit our website.

LASIK surgery is a medical procedure that carries certain risks; therefore, it is best performed by a caring and conscientious surgeon.
