This institute is all about money. They falsely advertise the $299 an eye and actually increase the price with more things they find wrong with you..ie..astigmatism, higher perscription, etc. The equipment is not the most current, I had to have my eyes dilated which is outdated. My eyes it seems are also on the thinner side where my second opinion revealed they shouldn't even perform this type of surgery on me. My total ended up being $4200 and I never even met the doctor! I feel like this is a sales gimmick. I know friends who paid $3000 12 years ago for this. They were nice people but sales people are!! Get a second opinion. I will be going to a recommended doctor (Dr.Siems) who has been doing this for 20 years. He's charging $3000 now I'm happy!
