Investing in Your Quality of Life: Understanding the Cost of LASIK

The Advantages of Blade-free iLASIK

To access the inner corneal layers during LASIK, a flap is made on the outside of the eye. For years, this flap was made with a blade, a technique that is still widely used today. At Maple Eye and Laser Center, we proudly offer blade-free iLASIK, which uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap. This safe technique effectively allows the surgeon to create finer, more precise incisions, resulting in less trauma to the treatment area. iLASIK allows patients to benefit from a reduced risk of complications, minimized inflammation, and shorter recovery times than traditional LASIK techniques.

Determining the Cost of Your Surgery

Your ocular health, the structure of your eyes, and the quality of your vision are unique to you. Given these differences between us, determining the cost of your iLASIK procedure is impossible without first meeting in person with your surgeon. During your consultation, we will perform a comprehensive eye examination and discuss your medical and vision history. After your evaluation, we can customize a treatment plan that meets your individual eye needs.

It is important to remember although many patients are candidates for LASIK, not everyone will qualify. In such cases, an alternative procedure, like photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), may be recommended to achieve the improved sight you deserve.
