Eye institutes who advertise $299 LASIK surgery often play the "where's the surgeon" game. You will talk to many people except the one person you should be talking to, the surgeon who is going to do your surgery. If you were having brain surgery would you want to talk to nurse of the person who would be doing the real surgery. Same thing applies to LASIK.

Your LASIK surgeon MUST be the person you talk to. Get to know the surgeon and build a relationship with them. If the surgeon is unwilling, or too "busy", to talk to you then reconsider if this surgeon is the LASIK surgeon for you.

Some eye surgeons who advertise $299 LASIK surgery often NEVER talk to there patients. Find a surgeon who is willing to do a free consultation, then make sure they are the person talking to you.
