Mcdonald's To Offer Lasik In Drive Through
By Robert Strong, Fri Dec 9th
$299.00, Financing available, Limited time offer etc etc. LASIKeye surgery is rapidly becoming just another commodity likeshoes or cars. Every where we look there are ads withdiscounts, specials and financing offered by "doctors" that arevying for a percentage of the 3 million Americans rushing tohave every year. Don't be surprised if one day you canvisit your local Wal-Mart and leave an hour later having hadLASIK by a "professional who has done millions" We may evenstart seeing signs akin to McDonald's 3,456,000 served!! Theredoesn't seem much difference between the ads and techniques usedto sell and those used to sell used cars. What has happened to the great American medical standards andethics touted for years? It is amazing to read that eye surgeonsin the United States are still offering regular and foronly $1,000 more "you too can have wavefront Technology." Forthose who aren't savvy, wavefront is a better diagnostictool that maps your cornea. In South America, where eye surgerytechnology has always been at the forefront, surgeons will onlyuse wavefront. There is no option because it is just
better forthe patient period!! American eye surgeons are also stillperforming PRK on those patients who don't qualify for LASIKrather than using multifocal Intraocular Lens which was onlyapproved 1 year ago in the States but has been used for over tenyears by South American surgeons. So if you are considering having remember this is asurgery on the cornea of your eye so be sure to educate yourselfabout all the possible risks and complications. Find the bestpossible doctor you can, not just the least expensive and makesure you are really a good candidate for the surgery and notjust another number on the billboard and finally if cost is anissue you may need to resolve yourself to wearing glasses or dowhat thousands of people do and go to South America and have itdone by some of the best eye surgeons in the world, spend halfand have a vacation.
