Lasik eye consultation
I stayed home sick from work again today. But this morning I braved the cold and the snow and went downtown to my appointment at LasikMD. As it turns out I’m a very good candidate for Lasik, and my appointment is booked for February 5th!!! I am very excited. Nervous, but excited. I can cancel the appointment if I want to, so it’s not set in stone.
The doctor gave me 2 options: standard Lasik or Zyoptix Lasik, which is a new type of Lasik that is custom to each eye and each patient. She said that while I don’t technically need Zyoptix, it would be the best thing for me to get (obviously she would say that) – I would reduce the chance of halos and glare, and my night vision would improve. She explained that with regular Lasik I have a 5-10% chance of halos, which could be permanent.
Standard Lasik: $1,580
Zyoptix Lasik: $2,980
Quite a price difference! But after researching into the two different procedures, I really think it’s worth the price to get the Zyoptix. What do you think?
As for financing … I have to call Desjardins to see if I can get approved for the 0% interest/0 down/0 payments (until January 2010) deal. And if I can, then I’ll keep the Feb 5th appointment and pay off the surgery with my tax refund. If for some reason I can’t get approved for that deal, then I’ll re-book my surgery for sometime in May, after I get my tax refund and can pay for it in cash.
