The Eye Care & Surgery Center cautioned
patients to beware of low LASIK prices in NJ with hidden
costs you don’t know about at NJ LASIK discount
centers. “LASIK costs
are affordable for almost anyone who wishes to minimize their dependence on or
even eliminate the need for eyeglasses and contact lenses to see at distance.
BUT-there are many patients who shop for the best price for LASIK and end up
getting an unpleasant surprise,” noted Jerette Lerner, Director of Refractive
Surgery at The Eye Care & Surgery Center in Westfield, Warren &
Iselin, New Jersey. “Reputable and trusted LASIK surgeons tend to quote fees for LASIK
that are comprehensive fees-that is they include everything you need to have
LASIK and its associated evaluations and follow up care-regardless of your
prescription”, continued Ms. Lerner.
Discount LASIK centers that offer the lure of
the best price for LASIK often quote a price for LASIK that is right on the
edge of being deceptive in that it uses the lowest price to draw you in for an
evaluation and get you excited about the possibility of having LASIK but then
presenting you with hidden costs and fees. These hidden costs and fees can
include an additional fee for your prescription that was not within the
advertised range, it can include an extra hidden cost of LASIK for astigmatism,
it can include an additional hidden cost for follow up care, it may include an
extra hidden cost for custom wavefront LASIK or an add on hidden cost for
enhancements-and on and on. Hidden costs and fees for LASIK are somewhat
typical of the sales and marketing practices of certain discount centers. LASIK
is surgery. “You should choose a LASIK surgeon based on their reputation as recommended by
friends and relatives and NOT based on the best price. Choosing a LASIK surgeon based on the
best price alone could set you up for a number of hidden costs you can’t even
understand and end up costing you more in the long run,” summarized Ms. Lerner.
