LASIK IN DENVER IS BEST IN THE SUMMER

June 28, 2010 @ 08:50 PM — by Jon Dishler

Here is an interesting fact:  When we asked our patients whether they had considered other LASIK centers before making their choice, we found that fully 2/3 of them came directly to us because of our reputation.  The other 1/3 did visit several other centers and picked us based on their own analysis as to what was the best decision for their eyes.  We have done satisfaction surveys of our post surgical patients and have found that 98% were satisfied with their outcomes and no one was in the "very dissatisfied category.  This goes along with the findings of our major laser technology provider, Zeiss, who found that there was an extremely high satisfaction rate with patients treated with this technology.  While in this study by Zeiss 93% of patients were corrected to 20/20, an even more impressive statistic is that 41% could read two lines further down on the eye chart or 20/12.  Practically no one naturally can see 20/12 and 20/20 is considered "normal excellent vision."  What this means is that about half of the patients treated can see beyond 20/20 and for some things, like golf, having this type of vision can really make a difference.

Brian was one of those lucky people, and within a very short time after his procedure, he could see well beyond 20/20 and this had a positive impact on his golf game as I hope he explains tomorrow on the Martino show (although I do not know what he will say exactly).

Here is the bottom line, forget about the bottom line.  That is, we provide the most state of the art LASIK vision correction at the guaranteed lowest price for all blade free LASIK surgery, regardless of your correction.  You cannot buy a great result, and we nor anyone else cannot promise you a great result.  What we can do is our best, and we can share with you our experience in other cases like yours.  We are the only center in Colorado to have the Zeiss technology, the Visumax for custom flap creation without a blade, and the MEL 80 laser for the most advanced vision correction.  We also have two other lasers that are used when they are the best medical choice for any patients condition.  These choices are made medically, not financially to provide our patients with the best vision correction experience possible.

Our dilemma is that although we are very busy in the winter season, the summer is a time when people just do not want to mess with elective medical procedures.   For this reason we offer incentives to have procedures this time of year, with a reduction of our already guaranteed lowest price by an additional substantial savings.  Please call for details before July 31st because as the summer draws to an end so do these savings.

The amazing thing is that summer is the best time to have LASIK anyway!  The recovery is so fast that almost everyone is driving the next day, and virtually all normal activities can be resumed in 1-2 weeks.  People who were afraid to go into the water and lose their contacts to a wave are able to swim in the ocean, even scuba dive in two weeks.  Golf just a few days after your procedure, and enjoy a day just walking around using your own resolved vision almost immediately.  The precision and advanced technology allows for a rapid recovery, very little discomfort, and quick healing.  All you need is a pair of sunglasses and we give you a nice pair when you have the procedure.

The summer is warm, more humid than the winter, and patients just seem to recover and do the best this time of year.  So if you are considering LASIK, please think about this time of year as being an especially good time and begin to enjoy the activities that the summer offers with improved vision.
