Zyoptix or lasik is good. ?

LASIK: Lasik uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea, allowing it to focus more appropriately. There are several companies that sell these lasers, of which zyoptix is one, and each machine has unique proprietary features. Although each laser purports to be the best at improving vision, they all achieve a similar result. More important is the skill and results of the individual surgeon.

Type of lasik: Zyoptix refers to a particular laser platform of the lasik procedure. Depending on your vision characteristics as determined by a specific preop lasik exam, zyoptix treatment may provide better quality of vision from the lasik procedure. Thoroughly discuss with your lasik surgeon.

Yes: Yes. Lasik is very good for appropriate candidates. My preference is for intralase flaps and custom laser ablation with visx s4 laser.

I have good insurance, but terrible vision. How much should I expect to pay out-of-pocket to get lasik done? I'm 27-years old, and I am near-sighted. I currently wear glasses to work, drive, watch tv, etc. I'd like to get lasik surgery in the near future.
