Don't remember exactly what that discount was, but I know my own optometrist charged less than they took off the price. Seems to me the total was about $1800 after the discounts (I think they were worth about $700). It's been 7 years since my surgery. One of the best things I ever did. The only thing about it is, they can't stop you from getting old, and I need reading glasses now . Oh well, at least it's only part-time.
Do you have a lifetime guarantee? There's something that Dr. Furlong told me they can do to your eyes so that when you need reading glasses, you wont! I forget what he said but there IS something.....
