Why is LASIK Expensive?

Not all vision centers charge a lot for their procedures. But you should be weary of those low cost offers. Generally, low cost LASIK procedures mean the center is using older, out-dated technology.

LASIK procedures done with current state-of-the-art technology are going to be more expensive. Technology is more costly. And you can’t have advanced technology without the staff training that goes with it. We will not subject our patients to less-than-professional care and that means we are continually taking educating our doctors and staff, learning about new techniques and investing in the latest technology.

We won’t subject our patients to outrageous pricing, either. We offer very reasonable pricing and a variety of payment options. If you wish to finance your gift of improved eyesight, we will be happy to help you pick the right option for you. These options include tiered pricing to match your budget, so you need not worry.

Your eyesight isn’t something to skimp on. When it comes to improving your vision, you want to be sure you are getting the best possible care from a highly qualified laser eye surgeon using the most advanced technology available. You want someone like Dr. Gary Kawesch and his staff at Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley.

Dr. Kawesch founded Laser Eye Center on the premise that we will always provide exceptional vision care using advanced technology and a highly-trained staff. That means you may have to pay a little more but you will be glad you did.

LASIK Procedures

Dr. Gary Kawesch and the staff of Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley have made a conscience decision to only offer the most advanced technology available in LASIK today.

  • No-Blade LASIK: This is only type of LASIK that we offer at Laser Eye Center. Instead of the thin blade, a precision laser is used to cut the corneal flap, leaving less chance for errors and complications.
  • Thin Flap LASIK: While thin flap technology isn’t new, it is the best option for our patients. Using the thin flap concept, patients heal quicker and have better results overall.
  • Wavefront Treatment: This advanced technology allows Dr. Kawesch to better track and measure eye abnormalities. This, in turn, allows for greater precision in refining the corneal reshaping for the best in vision correction.

In addition to these procedures, Dr. Kawesch also uses the following lasers for the most precise surgery possible.

  • IntraLase Laser: This laser is the first of its kind and allows for totally blade-free flap creation during the LASIK surgery.
  • LADARVision: This laser is used to gently reshape the cornea after the flap has been made. It uses a cool laser light and helps aid in a quicker recovery of the cornea.
  • Bausch & Lomb Zyoptix: Zyoptix works with the wavefront system to detect even the most minute vision errors. It is fast, safe and practically pain-free.

As you can see, we take great pride in providing the best possible vision care using the most advanced technology available.

We would enjoy the opportunity to discuss your LASIK surgery needs in detail. We will answer all your questions and would love you to show you around our state-of-the-art vision center.
