Don't Navigate Your Surgery Alone
Deciding to have eye surgery is a big life event. With so many options (LASIK, PRK, SMILE, ICL, Premium Cataract Lenses) and so many surgeons advertising "best prices," it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
The Risk
Going directly to a high-volume surgical center can sometimes feel like a sales pitch. You need to know: Is this procedure actually right for me? Is there a better option?
