Top 10 Reasons Latisse Beats Mascara (and Fake Eyelashes and Extensions) Any Day
Latisse is a medication we dispense to our patients that you paint on your upper eyelid like eyeliner (only easier) each day. Over the course of 16 weeks, you grow longer, thicker, *darker* lashes. There is no chance of eye color change with pure light-eyed or brown-eyed patients.
Top 10 Reasons Why Latisse Beats Mascara (or Fake Eyelashes or Extensions) Any Day:
10) Never smudges
9) No fussing over buying the right color — the color comes out just right for you
8) No embarassing flakes on your cheeks
7) No black smudge under your eyes the next morning
6) Your lashes look the same after a whole day at the pool or beach – no raccoon eyes
5) No “ouch!” when you take off those fakes
4) The lashes are real. They just grew.
3) You’ll finally have something to curl
2) Everyone will notice you look great and rested but won’t know why!
1) Your lashes look great and not fake and gunky when someone sees you up close and is about to kiss you…
La Jolla LASIK Institute Results Best in World
Since March, I have been submitting all my patients’ refractions, treatments, and results to an international database.
I just reviewed my results with the ophthalmologist who built and monitors the database. He nearly fell off his chair.
It turns out that worldwide only 81% of patients are 20/20 after LASIK, and a tiny 28% are 20/16 (better than 20/20).
In contrast, 100% of my patients were 20/20 and, get this, 100% were 20/16!
He said I have the best results in the world, “and those aren’t easy treatments you’ve been doing, either!”
Wow. I know I work fanatically to control variables to improve your LASIK outcome, but best in the world? Wow! How cool to have a benchmark like that, and to have the feedback that all this careful control of variables and outcomes is giving you the best possible results.
See the world-class results I can give you, and get the best LASIK San Diego has to offer. Call us at (858) 551-4100 to schedule your LASIK consultation. We answer the phone from 5:30 am to 7:00 pm weekdays and 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on weekends.
Patient Gets LASIK at 83% Off
Yesterday a patient came in to the office, planning on using her Flexible Spending Account to pay for LASIK in January, a common November occurrence. She will do the paperwork this week to fund her FLEX account for the full amount of the procedure, which will be taken out of her paycheck in 12 equal monthly amounts with pre-tax dollars.
The entire amount will fund on January 1 and be available for her to spend on medical care, so we scheduled her San Diego LASIK procedure for January 6th.
What caught my attention was that she knows she will be leaving the company in March 2011. She will leave the company having had only 3 of 12 monthly amounts withheld from her paycheck. This is all she will ever pay for the procedure. Think about it. She will only pay 3 of 12 payments for her procedure, ever. She scheduled her LASIK procedure knowing she will immediately get a 75% discount.
Then there is the reason for the FLEX plan in the first place, the savings from paying with pre-tax dollars, about another 30% savings. So, she paid 25% of full value and got a 30% discount on that, so she will actually pay only 17.5% of the total value:
0.25 x 0.70 = 0.175 = 17.5%
or
an 82.5% discount.
Wow! Spread the word throughout the office! FLEX plans are powerful for making LASIK San Diego dreams come true, and even more so in special situations like this.
LASIK Saving Lives
Recently, a really nice guy came into my office with his wife for a LASIK consultation. His vision without glasses or contact lenses was 20/80. To pass the vision test at the California DMV, you have to have 20/40 vision or better, so his vision was twice as bad as the DMV requires, and four times worse than a perfect 20/20.
His wife told me he has been driving without contacts or glasses and she is scared to be in a car with him behind the wheel. With vision is twice as bad as the state minimum to drive and four times worse than perfect 20/20 vision, we were all very glad he came in for his LASIK San Diego consultation at La Jolla LASIK Institute that day. BTW, I got the patient’s permission to tell this story. In fact, he and his wife urged me to tell it to help get other blurry-eyed drivers in here to get their LASIK and start driving safely again!
Even though the DMV tests people’s vision, many people are on the road, driving their cars and trucks without any correction whatsoever. Some of them squinted to pass the drivers’ test, some of them memorized the chart, and as for the rest of them, I have no idea how they passed the vision portion of the drivers’ test.
So get LASIK and save a life, maybe yours!
