Lasik - News

Amidst a declining economy, people are doing just about anything to save a few bucks on their coveted elective surgical procedures. Just because we're about to enter a recession doesn't mean people don't still want their breast augmentations, face lifts, teeth whitening and LASIK surgery.

For the non-squemish and non-bashful, there is a new trend that is saving people as much as 50% on some of their elective procedures. If you agree to have your procedure broadcast LIVE on YouTube (or a number of other popular video posting sites), you may be offered money off of your surgery.

Not all surgeons are participating, but the ones who are are coming from a purely advertising mindset. People who log on to the video sharing websites can watch the procedure, and the video acts as a real-life, real time marketing tool for the surgeons. They're able to show off their talents, and walk viewers through the procedure step by step.

You may not be interested in watching other people's surgeries, ,but if you don't mind being filmed to save some dough, inquire to your local LASIK center. As the procedure only takes five minutes or so, many LASIK surgeons are interested in doing these types of alterna-marketing ideas to entice new patients.
