Kick Them To the Curb and Link Up With LASIK Surgery

Wedding season has a way of exposing the uncomfortable realities of living with glasses and contacts. Whether you didn’t like the look of your glasses in photos posted online, you hated getting red eyes right before the ceremony began, or you dropped a contact lens on the dance floor, there are plenty of opportunities to remind yourself that glasses and contacts just don’t cut it.

No matter your specific situation, you’re not the only one who feels this way. For many people, big events like weddings are yet another reminder that it’s time to explore an alternative like LASIK. Fall is on the way and new holidays are on the horizon. Perhaps it’s now time to take this most recent reminder seriously.

The Details on LASIK: What Is It Again?

LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a laser eye surgery that reshapes your cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes, and most patients return to driving and work the day after their one-day post-operative appointment.

At Durrie Vision, we offer SBK Advanced LASIK, a bladeless, highly precise approach performed in our relaxing, comfortable treatment environment. You must be at least 18 with a stable vision prescription to qualify. Before your procedure is scheduled, you’ll also have a free consultation and evaluative eye exam that confirms whether LASIK is right for you.

How Many Things Could Have Gone Differently If You’d Chosen LASIK?

Think back on the last year to all the times you had dry and irritated eyes, foggy lenses, annoying allergies, or bent frames. Remember the bottles of solution or the giant exclamation mark over your head when your bill for contacts came. Also consider the many times you’ve taken your glasses off in the mirror and thought, “Maybe I’d like how I look without these.”

These are just some of the low-level anxieties and stressors that come with wearing glasses or contacts. They’re happening in the back of your mind all the time. But when a big event comes around the corner, like a friend’s or even your own wedding, these concerns feel even more intense.

Now that you’re heading into fall, spooky season, Chiefs football, and the November and December holidays, consider a change with LASIK. You might find that you’re ready to get rid of your glasses and contact lenses and replace them with more confidence, comfort, and cash back in your pocket.

Fall Is the Perfect Time for Saving on LASIK

As long-time providers of LASIK in the Kansas City area, we know that cost is one of the most important factors in making your decision to go contacts- and glasses-free. The stretch between now and December 31st is a smart time of year to put your money to work with LASIK.

If your employer offers a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), there’s a good chance you have a balance that needs to be spent before the year ends. FSA funds are “use it or lose it,” so whatever you haven’t allocated by December 31st won’t carry over into the next year.

LASIK surgery is an FSA-eligible expense, which means those pre-tax dollars can be invested in a procedure that changes your day-to-day and eliminates the costs associated with expensive frames, prescription sunglasses, contact lenses, and lens solution.

Although your Health Savings Account (HSA) works a little differently because your funds do roll over year to year, you might take time at the year’s end to see how much you’ve saved and whether you’re ready to put it toward a transformative solution for your eyes.

More Savings To Make LASIK Even Sweeter

Durrie Vision also has financing options that make LASIK surgery accessible no matter what kind of savings you have right now. We offer $0 down with no interest for the first 24 months, so you can get LASIK now and pay over time.

Ask about any other special promotions at your free consultation.
