Another way for eye institutes to advertise $299 LASIK is to use outdates equipment. Just like any kind of technology equipment, LASIK equipment can become outdated.

Some LASIK institutes keep the outdated equipment and use them for another purpose. They will advertise $299 LASIK then tell you it will be with the old outdated equipment if you want this price. The results are poorer, the chances of complication are higher but the cost is $299 per eye. They know that nobody will want this outdated equipment when there is a brand new alternative. The customer then ends up paying full price, if not more, for the lasik surgery.

Using outdated equipment is another way that LASIK eye institutions can advertise $299 per eye LASIK.
