Since LASIK is a high tech sort of medical procedure, then why not wait awhile for it to get even better and less expensive? That is a reasonable question, and one that many people ask themselves and sometimes even ask us during their consultation. If there has never been a better time to have LASIK than today, then why not wait until tomorrow and see if it gets even better? While this many times makes sense when considering other high tech purchases like computers or TV's it is not really necessary in regards to LASIK. Even in computers, one has to balance the wait with what they will be missing during that time. In the case of LASIK we are in a technology that has reached maturity, where the incremental changes are very small compared to the benefits derived. Even more importantly, we have the experience to know how well what we currently using works for a large variety of patients.
