Think for a moment about all of the things you shop for online. Perhaps books, music, electronics, clothes or cars come to mind. Now, wouldn’t it be just totally weird if none of the companies that sell these products listed their prices or told you exactly what is included with their offer? How would you shop? How could you compare? How would you know what to buy?
It may sound unbelievable, but if you are shopping for LASIK in Phoenix, you are no doubt facing an uphill battle to find out exactly how much the procedure costs and what the price includes.
Strangely, Q Vision is the only LASIK center in Phoenix to post detailed pricing information online.
Sure, there’s a center with prices that “start at $299”, but where do they end up? (Hint: a former surgeon at this center is on the record stating that only 1 of the 15,000 procedures he performed was at $299, while the company’s national operations director told the South Florida Business Journal that their average customer pays nearly $1800 per eye.)
Still other centers advertise seemingly large discounts of “$600 off LASIK” and “$1000 off LASIK”. And, not to be outdone, there is even one practice offering “$1200 off LASIK”.
But, off what? That, they don’t tell you.
By now, you are probably asking yourself a pretty obvious question:
Why won’t they just tell me the darn price?
The answer is simple. Industry insiders have found that if a LASIK center can entice you to come in with the temptation of a potential bargain, there is a 70-80% chance you will sign up, even if the total price is much higher than you expected.
At Q Vision, we are 100% confident that our services are priced competitively at every level of technology. And, since we have no need to hide anything, we happily post our LASIK prices online.
