LasikPlus vs. Custom WaveFront LASIK
The popularity of LASIK eye surgery has unfortunately led to some confusion about the various types of LASIK that are available. We often get questions about LasikPlus, but it’s important to understand that this is not a technology or a technique; LasikPlus is a chain of corporate laser centers around the country that offers LASIK at a discounted price. There are several problems with having your procedure at LasikPlus. One of the biggest problems is that for most, the only contact the patient has with the operating LASIK surgeon is at the time of surgery. All pre-surgical examinations and follow-up care are performed by optometrists or technicians instead of board-certified ophthalmologists as occurs at Doctors For Visual Freedom.
Custom WaveFront LASIK is the name of the advanced Laser Vision Correction procedure we use at Doctors For Visual Freedom. This procedure differs from traditional LASIK in that it allows Dr. Golden to tailor your LASIK procedure to the unique characteristics of your individual eyes. Each imperfection in your eyes is precisely measured and “mapped” to ensure your vision is corrected with pinpoint accuracy. When LasikPlus advertises a low price for LASIK, they are commonly referring to traditional LASIK and Custom WaveFront LASIK is an upcharge.
Custom WaveFront LASIK is widely considered the most advanced and successful LASIK procedure currently available. When it comes to your Visual Freedom, we encourage you to not let the price tag be the deciding factor in choosing your LASIK surgeon. The lower price of a corporate chain may be enticing, but many patients end up paying extra for enhancement procedures and add-ons that elevate their costs.
