It’s almost spring and Southwest Florida’s well-known LASIK surgeon Dr. Jonathan Frantz is offering area residents a $500 discount on bilateral LASIK now through June 21, 2011.

What better time than now to start enjoying life without depending on glasses or contacts, Frantz says. The 100 percent blade-free iLASIK laser vision correction procedure, offered exclusively in this area by Frantz, combines today’s most sophisticated technologies to bring improved safety, better vision and more precision to patients.

LASIK, or laser in-situ keratomileusis, corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism, Frantz said in a press release.

What’s different about iLASIK is that it utilizes IntraLase, where a beam of laser light is used to create the corneal flap, the critical first step in the iLASIK procedure. He said iLASIK is 100 percent tailor-made for each patient, their vision and the unique characteristics of their eyes.

You can make an appointment for a complimentary LASIK screening online at www.bettervision.net or call The Center for Laser Vision Correction at Florida Eye Health at 239-791-2020.
