New Study On Costs of LASIK Surgery vs. Lifelong Contact Lens Costs

/24-7PressRelease/ - OCEANSIDE, CA, June 15, 2008 - If you wear contacts or glasses and have considered LASIK Surgery but are concerned about the cost, think about this - LASIK will pay for itself in about three years.

How could that be? Consider that LASIK is a one-time fee, while glasses and contact lenses require a lifetime commitment.

A doctor's visit to examine your eyes every two years is the recommended guideline for people who wear glasses. If your prescription has changed, you will need new glasses with lenses and frames. Even if you're fortunate not to need a stronger prescription, you may still want new frames to update your appearance. In addition, some people have more than one pair of glasses just in case one gets broken or misplaced. And let's face it, glasses, especially designer frames, are increasingly expensive and usually not covered by your health care plan.
