Gail M Williams (20 January). Eyes of Texas: Celebrating 20 years of LASIK vision correction. McClatchy - Tribune Business News. Retrieved March 2, 2008, from ABI/INFORM Complete database. (Document ID: 1415622021).
“LASIK was originally for therapeutic optometry and cataract removal. Medicare paid for cataract surgery so many patients took that step to improve their vision. Patients flew from Japan to have the procedure done” says Daniel Hunt. The technique has improved greatly in terms of comfort and recovery time. The Eyes of Texas medical center offer the IntraLase Method which is a 100 percent blade free surgery. The flap is created by an excimer laser. The excimer laser can be used to correct presbyopia which is the inability to focus sharply. A seventy-five-year-old can walk out with the vision of a twenty-year-old. Some clinics offer a full range of care including a free first exam, then the surgery followed up by a six month check up. Some also include free touch ups during the six months after the procedure. Dr. Smith of Eyes of Texas has performed thousands of surgeries and has performed about $600,000 worth of free eye-care for those who can not afford to pay. Surgeon Hunt from Texas says that safety is the number one priority even if it means that they have to turn a patient away for their own safety. Many vision correction areas offer promotions and anniversary specials.
