What Will My Laser Eye Surgery Cost?
The price of Laser eye surgery is like reaching into a cloud of prices and trying to grab one that fits your budget. However, it’s not even that easy. You might reach for a low price and then find it’s for only ONE EYE! What a surprise. Or you locate a moderate price but find out that it’s only available at the offices in London. Leave L-town by 30-40 km and those offices get a premium price for the exact same laser eye surgery procedure.
Want to try the Z-Laser or some other innovation. Buyer beware, as the stated price for you basic laser eye surgery may only apply to the old technology and the new Z stuff will run you considerably more. In any sales venue, laser eye surgery or refrigerators, this is called “Up selling” or “Bait and Switch”.
You might think these tactics are illegal or unethical for doctors to practice and you’re right. However, most of the high pressure sales tactics come from the laser eye surgery clinics or labs and not from a single, independent doctor, so the laws and ethical practices are skirted around and you get to be foot-balled around like anyone on the street buying a used car or a new DVD. Sorry to say it but, Caveat emptor and keep your astigmatism, nearsightedness or farsightedness temporarily out of he equation.
