I’ve been considering getting LASIK for a while, and although I have already read a number of reports/advice threads about it, I was surprised to see this come up on Groupon recently: $1,950 for complete surgery (“up to a $4,200 value”) at the Laser Eye Center.
Now, I don’t know anything about the Laser Eye Center and if I do go through with this surgery I specifically didn’t want to go looking for bargain basement deals, since I consider my eyes pretty important, ya know? And normally I use Groupon for stuff like restaurant coupons and event tickets… I wouldn’t have expected to use a coupon for freakin’ surgery. But these are the times we live in.
Does anyone have experience getting LASIK from the Laser Eye Center specifically? Is this a good deal or not?
By the way, there are 2 days and change left before the deal expires. Also, the terms state that if you go for a consultation and they decide you aren’t a candidate for the surgery you will be refunded. That leaves the unspoken implication that if you are a candidate, you are pretty much committed to go through with it at that point (or at least you can’t get your money back if you don’t).
