If you live in the US and want to have Lasik eye surgery, is it cheaper if you go have it done in Canada? If you are on a budget, you might be trying to find where to get it done for as little as possible and yet have a reliable doctor. People have gone to Canada for this reason to have the procedure done.
For an example lets assume you are considering lasik in Portland and you have heard that it was cheaper in Canada. Canada is about a 4 hour drive from Portland so it might be worthwhile to have it done there. However, In the past three years or so the Canadian dollar has gained on the US dollar so Lasik in Canada has gotten more expensive. After you factor in all the travel expenses becomes clear that going to Canada tfor Lasik surgery is probably not worth the drive. Also, as the technology gets better and the procedure has become refined, the price of Lasik has gone down in the US as well.
Your best to find a good laser surgeon is by word of mouth. There are so many laser doctors in the major cities which makes it hard to make a decision on which doctor to go with. If you have friends who have had the procedure done, you could ask them to recommend a Lasik doctor to you. The more feedback you have about a variety of laser eye doctors will better enable you to pick the one that others have felt the most comfortable with.
Although very safe, Lasik eye surgery continues to be a nerve racking experience for many people and picking the right doctor with a good bedside manner is important. Lasik eye surgery is a choice people make and by no means one that is necessary. Thus it makes no sense to have it done by someone you dont have the utmost confidence in and feel right about. Asking your friends will help steer you in the right direction in making a good choice.
Your eyesight is obviously a very important part of your life and you should not risk it in any way. If you don’t like the first doctor you go to, there are surely many more in whatever city you live in so keep on looking till you find the one you like.
