LASIK cost at $825per eye Williamsport Shamokin Binghamton -Columbus Lasik Vision Centers

We offer premier quality LASIK at an affordable price only $825 per eye for traditional LASIK.

We also perform wavefront optimized LASIK. With this technology, a “flying spot” laser beam is used to reshape ones eye to correct ones prescription. With flying spot laser technology, 95% of patients obtain 20/20 vision & 75% obtain 20/15 better than perfect vision. Patients have described their vision like “high definition TV”. Also with wavefront optimized treatments the natural curve of the cornea is preserved thus decreasing the risk of glare or halo at night as a side effect. This is accomplished by applying laser spots to the periphral as well as central cornea unlike older lasers which do not treat the periphery. Lastly, accuracy is extremely higher with flying spot than older broad beam lasers, thus the need for a second treatment is tremendously low at 1-2%.

We are the FIRST and ONLY LASIK center in Wilkes Barre & Scranton performing wavefront optimized LASIK with the Allegretto Wavelight laser. Our price includes your one year follow-up and second treatments within the first year if indicated.
