Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) September 21, 2009 -- Undergoing a LASIK procedure could save a 20 year-old up to $48,000 over a lifetime and could pay for itself in as little as three years, claims a recent in-house study by Davis Vision Center of Salt Lake City. The study is published at http://www.davisvisionmd.com/blog/lasik-costs/lasik-vs-glasses-contacts/.
The convenience alone of getting LASIK is generally worth the cost
Our goal in publishing this information is to help anyone who is researching LASIK costs to see the economic savings in the long run.
The study was based on approximations of industry-standard prices for vision correction in the United States, which are compared against the current U.S. average lifespan of 77.7 years of age.
The cost analysis also found that the yearly cost of wearing prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses combined can total up to $1,004, a price that exceeds the average costs associated with LASIK treatment ($3,000 with an annual eye exam estimated to cost $105) within three years.
Davis Vision Center compiled the study in response to a combination of an increasing number of inquiries at Davis Vision Center about the cost of LASIK treatment, and the apparent lack of published data available online. Very few resources are available for researching the difference between the cost undergoing a LASIK procedure and the cost of wearing prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses over a lifetime.
