Is eye surgery too expensive?

In this post, Dr. Eric Chotiner discusses if eye surgery is too expensive and how the cost of eye surgery is outweighed by its benefits.

Your eyes are your window to your world and the cost of eye surgery is very proportional to the benefits that surgery provides. Additionally, the cost of glasses or contact lenses throughout your life far outweigh the cost of the surgery to correct your vision. While we spend money on materialistic items such as clothing, jewelry, cars, things that don’t last a while but we don’t spend the money to invest in ourselves. This surgery really is an investment in yourself and will be long-lasting you’re worth it.
