I have had glasses for about 15-16 years now and really haven’t thought of them as an annoying part of my life.  I do have contacts which can be a pain.  When LASIK first came around there was all kinds of “bad” news regarding the process, but as the process got older, I am running into more and more people that have successfully had the process done.

The savings that comes from getting LASIK done can be 100’s of dollars every single year.  Now that the economy is not going the way everyone would have liked, Americans are trying to save as much money as possible.

Did you know that over a lifetime, a 25 year old wearing extended wear contacts will spend upwards of $20,000? Choosing modern LASIK, also known as iLASIK, invests in your vision and can save you money in the long term.

There is also a newer process called iLASIK.  That process combines Wavefront mapping technology with two lasers for a safe procedure.  I don’t know if I will ever get the process done, but there are some insurance companies that will cover it.  The plan that I have at work, will not, but I could use a medical savings account to save up for the procedure, just not sure if I will do that.
