Millennials Are Having A Big Impact on LASIK
Published by on March 14, 2017
It’s predicted that in the next 5 years and beyond, many Millennials will enthusiastically have vision correction, like LASIK, without hesitation. For millennials, LASIK vision correction can be compared to braces – it’s not a luxury or a “nice to have” – it’s a natural expectation. When their adult teeth are in, they will get braces to have straight teeth. The same thought process applies to sight. When their eyes fully develop, typically between the ages of 18 and 21, they will have laser vision correction to achieve clear vision for life.
Why Millennials Choose Laser Vision Correction
- Clear Value
LASIK is an elective procedure, which is typically an out of pocket cost for patients – and they are okay with that! The total that our patients are investing in LASIK is fair in their eyes. If they didn’t see LASIK as worth it, or valuable, they’d say “forget it!”
At Kugler Vision in Omaha, NE, they learn the value of our LASIK patient experience and the many ways their life will be enhanced after vision correction. Our mission is to help people who have the desire to maximize their human experience. We do this by enabling them to see the world with their best vision possible, so they may feel confident and empowered, and live life with energy and vitality. We are a lifestyle enhancement center committed to empowering our patients with the best vision scientifically and medically achievable.
Vision correction procedures are transformational services we offer paired with an unparalleled patient experience. Kugler Vision does more than simply correct vision – we emphasize the patient experience and align with each patient as an ally in helping them to attain the active and engaged lifestyle they aspire to. It’s our mission to help you achieve your vision goals, so you can live a life free from visual barriers.
- “Coolness” Factor
Kugler Vision embraces change! Change is one thing that’s constant in life, and it’s not going away. We constantly evolve, staying up-to-date with the industry’s latest and most state-of-the-art technology. We engage with the community, both online and offline frequently. This helps us to know and understand how we may adapt to best reach and appeal to those who haven’t heard of Laser vision correction and to those who are researching where to have it.
We are highly active on social media channels like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with weekly posts and blog at least 3 times per month on our website. We don’t want to “sell” to our social audience. They aren’t there for that! We want to connect. We are transparent, and engaging with individuals on these various media channels gives them a sense of who we are and allows them to join in.
Media channels also display online reviews for anyone and everyone to read. We have the best patients, and don’t want you to just take our word that “LASIK with us is a transformational life experience”. Read hundreds of patient reviews on our Facebook and Google + page. Hearing from your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and others in the community may help you decide where to go while researching the LASIK provider that’s the best fit for you.
- Authenticity
At Kugler Vision, we don’t just see you once and send you on your way.
“Refractive surgery is much more than a job to me – it’s a passion. It is a tremendous privilege to spend my days combining skills, expertise, and incredible technology in order to make lives better for people. At Kugler Vision we believe that a life without the barriers of glasses or contact lenses is a better life, and we are dedicated to helping our patients reach their maximum potential.”

Lance Kugler, MD values every individual that walks through our doors so much that he sees each one of our patients at their initial consultation. He meets them, personally reviews their test results, and educates them on how and why their vision changes over time. He gives them his expert recommendation on what solution is best for their unique eyes.
We take a revolutionary, holistic approach to vision care. The average person sees their eye doctor every year or two. They update their glasses. Or they buy contacts. Or both! They may end up feeling stuck in a vicious cycle of spending over and over on exams, glasses, contacts and supplies… for years! All while not enjoying clear vision without the hassles of constant upkeep and maintenance.
Here, we think about your lifetime vision needs and help you stop the cycle of spending on high maintenance contacts and glasses. Millennials realize this and take a proactive approach toward vision, so they can plan on a lifestyle of visual freedom, without glasses and contacts, and enjoy all the benefits along the way.
