What should you be careful about at the hospital where you will have your laser surgery?
Save for a lifetime with a one-time, 10-minute laser treatment.
Many ophthalmologists recommend that adults have an eye examination every year and renew their glasses. The glasses and contact lenses that we replace every year result in a waste of time and money without us even noticing. A pair of glasses cost somewhere between TL 200 and 1,500 on average. Similarly, lens wearers spend at least TL 400 every year for their lenses and complementary products. Considering these costs, the money spent to get rid of glasses with laser treatment is recovered in 1-2 years and results in significant savings in the following years. A person having laser treatment at 18 years of age saves nearly TL 21,600 during their lifetime.
Save Time with Laser
Laser treatments help you save not only money but also time. Research shows that a person using contact lenses spends 50 hours a year putting in and taking out the lenses. Time is one of the most valuable assets of our day; instead of wasting it, you can put your time to good use after laser treatment.
What Will Laser Change in Your Life?
You can benefit from all these advantages with a 10-minute laser treatment.
