Dr. Rabinowitz's is dedicated to providing safe, rewarding vision correction results for his Santa Clarita, Lancaster and Los Angeles LASIK patients. In the paragraphs below he has outlined some of the dangers associated with certain discount laser vision correction centers.
It is important that you take eye surgery seriously. After all your eye is part of your brain, when is the last time you looked for a discount brain surgeon? It is only because of the television ads make the procedure look easy that everyone thinks that it is cookie cutter and can be done by anyone. The experience of the surgeon and the technology is extremely important however.
A significant part of our practice is fixing up eyes that have been done at discount laser centers hopefully you are not one of them. If you are offered LASIK for $499, $799 or $1299 it is too cheap and someone is cutting corners. Click here to examine the ethics of the biggest discount laser eye surgeon in California.
Ways in which corners are cut could include any of the following: use of a NIDEK laser in patients who have large pupils (NIDEK only has a 5mm optical zone), use of a NIDEK laser for farsightedness and certain degrees of astigmatism for which this laser is not FDA approved, using a single microkeratome blade for multiple procedures and only infrequent calibration of lasers. In many instances your preoperative and postoperative workup will be delegated and there will be a fee for postop follow ups. None of the discount laser centers will offer you the new wavefront technology or the bladeless intralase option stating that it is an unnecessary expense not needed for your situation.
We believe that you should entrust your eyes to the best surgeon, the best possible technology and the best facility to ensure that you have a lifetime of excellent vision. There is no price that can be put on that, even if we are able to give you 10% better quality vision than a discount center, that is something you will have for life and is priceless.
