Prices
Experience, reputation, and results should be key factors when trusting your vision to any eye care professional, regardless of the cost.
Dr. Fong
- has performed, by far the largest number of Asian LASIKs on the East Coast and probably the United States
- does more than 95% of the initial comprehensive exams himself
- participates in preoperative and postoperative visits
- has access to all the latest computerized lasers
...all this adds up to the best value for your money.
Our fees range from $1,300 to $2,450 for each eye, depending on the amount of laser correction needed. Prices advertised elsewhere in NYC range from $499 (low cost/high volume center) to $3,000 ("Park Avenue") per eye, regardless of the amount of correction needed.
Be extremely cautious when considering these low cost centers. Indeed, the FDA has come out with an advisory warning. Inexperienced doctors, dated technology and poor follow up will result in more complications. Many of these centers advertise one price but actually charge another, or offer "lifetime guarantees" that they cannot support.
Doctors who charge a high premium can be equally deceiving. These "Park Avenue" doctors rely on your perception that costlier must be better. In truth, they have no lock on any revolutionary technology, nor are they necessarily more experienced.
Dr. Fong wants to make LASIK surgery available to everyone including, restaurant workers, hairdressers and garment workers, not only the bankers, doctors, lawyers and other business professionals that he also serves. His pricing, while allowing for the high cost of using the latest technology, is structured to be as affordable as possible.
Your vision is precious. Be sure to do your homework before making your decision!
