Lasik Financing

LASIK, short for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a type of refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea of the eye in order to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

Lasik-Financing.png It is an outpatient procedure that is performed by a refractive surgeon. LASIK costs vary widely depending on the area of the country in which LASIK is performed and the degree of the patient’s refractive error. The cost of LASIK can range anywhere from $499 per eye to $2,500 per eye. But you should not base your choice of a LASIK surgeon solely on the cost of the surgery; a less skilled ophthalmologist may charge less for LASIK, but he may not have the same experience, training, or precise equipment as a more expensive doctor. Many experts recommend avoiding discount laser eye surgery centers that rely on aggressive marketing campaigns. Although paying more does not necessarily mean that you will get the best surgeon. To ensure that you find a skilled refractive surgeon to perform your LASIK eye surgery, do some research on the credentials of the eye surgeons in your area. Many people do not want to undergo LASIK treatment because they find the cost prohibitive. LASIK is considered an elective procedure by most medical insurers. It is therefore not covered under the majority of insurance policies. Nevertheless, LASIK financing options are available for most patients. If you would like to have LASIK or other refractive surgery treatment, but need help for LASIK financing, you should consider which of the following LASIK financing options suit you best:

LASIK Surgeon's Payment Options

One good way to acquire LASIK financing is to talk over LASIK financing and costs involved with your doctor. Eye surgeons usually offer a variety of LASIK financing options to their patients. Many surgeons work with local and national banks to provide low interest monthly LASIK financing plans or ask the patients to pay for the procedure in installments.

Care Credit

Care Credit is a company that provides patients with credit for their LASIK procedures. This is one way to secure LASIK financing for your treatment. Care Credit offers short-term, no-interest payment plans and low-interest, extended payment plans.

Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo Health Advantage Credit Card also brings you exclusive benefits:
  • Revolving line of credit that you can use over and over again
  • Special financing where available
  • Make payments over time
  • Easy-to-use online account management and bill payment options

Post-LASIK Refraction and Pregnancy – Much Ado About Nothing?

Image
Written by Dr. David Evans Last modified on August 23, 2018 During pregnancy, women experience a drastic shift in their hormonal balance that has a ripple effect throughout the body. The spike in hormones like progesterone, estrogen, prolactin, oxytocin and relaxin are all important for a healthy pregnancy, but these increased levels can also impact gastrointestinal processes, blood pressure, skin pigmentation and, you guessed it, ocular health. Due to refractive changes that often occur during pregnancy, most refractive surgeons advise against LASIK during pregnancy, instead suggesting women wait several months after giving birth before considering treatment. Women who have already undergone LASIK may then wonder if the changes in ocular health that can occur during and after pregnancy impact post-LASIK refraction. New research presented by John Kanellopoulos, MD, New York University Medical School, NY, and LaserVision.gr seems to throw cold water on any such concern. The Eyes an

I Spy a Stye in Your Eye

Image
Written by Dr. David Evans Last modified on August 6, 2018 What’s that small, red, pimple-like bump on your eyelid that’s causing so much discomfort? It’s probably a stye (sometimes referred to as a sty or hordeolum). Besides being difficult to say 5 times quickly, an eye stye is a type of localized infection that can occur along the base of your eyelashes or underneath your eyelid. Styes that form along the base of the eyelashes are called external styes. They typically occur as a result of an infected eyelash hair follicle and look like the type of pimple that occurs when your pores are clogged with dirt and oil. Styes that form inside the eyelid are called internal styes. Similar to external styes, they are caused by an infection of an oil-producing gland behind the eyelid rather than an eyelash hair follicle. Internal styes result in generalized swelling of the eyelid rather than forming a pimple-like bump. Stye Symptoms As a stye develops, you might begin to experience pain
