Here at Restore Vision Centers we offer a variety of technologies that allow our patients to choose the procedure that best fits their budget and expectations.

Given the choice, 70 percent of our patients choose to have “bladeless” LASIK performed with Intralase, while others opt for the less expensive microkeratome. The Intralase offers a lower “fear factor,” a planar flap that seals down tighter, less dry eye, and the ability to create a thinner flap that spares corneal tissue. The microkeratome offers a reliable, proven technology at a more attractive price.

When selecting a laser correction technology, about 85 percent of our patients choose the precision and visual benefits of a wavefront (WF)-guided treatment, while a few still elect to have a traditional laser treatment. By finding and treating the patient’s specific higher order aberrations, a WF-guided treatment is able to produce better visual results than either a traditional or even a WF-optimized procedure. Although the vast majority choose the WF-guided treatment, patients still appreciate having the lower-priced traditional option available.

Most LASIK surgical centers these days offer a single technology at a single price, with some centers unwilling to upgrade to better technology in the interests of keeping their costs down. In today’s economy, your patients want the ability to choose the technology and the price-point that works best for them, and Restore Vision Centers is proud to offer them the freedom to choose.
