Premium vs. Discount Laser Vision Correction - What is the MILLENNIUM DIFFERENCE?
Understandably, patients are often confused as to why LASIK pricing may differ from one office or laser eye center to another. Below are the principal factors that distinguish premium LASIK centers such as Millennium from the discount centers:
  1. Surgeon Experience and the Patient Experience
    Because Dr. Lessner has dedicated his entire professional career as an eye surgeon to just performing refractive surgery procedures, he has successfully performed over 13,000 LASIK procedures and over 20,000 total refractive procedures. This is all that he does, and as such, is not distracted throughout the day or week with glaucoma patients one day and cataract surgery patients the next as so many of his colleagues do.

    As any consummate surgeon, Dr. Lessner has carefully hand-picked and brought to Millennium an incomparable, highly skilled professional team with over 100 years of collective experience in the refractive surgery field. With this team, Dr. Lessner believes that the patient experience is optimized with personalized education and a detailed, no cost consultation with a doctor to best determine which laser technology is most beneficial to you. We are singularly focused to meet and even exceed your expectations, as this is all that we do at Millennium.

    Dr. Lessner stands behind your results by offering a two year post-procedure period of no cost enhancements, if necessary. Discounts centers cannot afford to offer this benefit and would have to charge extra for it, as they often do with other parts of the process as well. We are happy to provide a permission-based list of our patients upon request, which can additionally include similar prescription as well as similar occupation. We encourage patients to visit the center and even observe Dr. Lessner perform a live LASIK procedure, if they wish. For your convenience, we also offer Saturday morning laser vision correction consultations.
  2. Dr. Lessner is the team LASIK surgeon for all professional sports teams in South Florida.
    If members of the Miami Dolphins, Florida Marlins, Miami Heat and the Florida Panthers trust their precious eyes and professional sports careers to Dr. Lessner, so can you - the Millennium Difference.
  3. The Latest Technology, Exclusive to all of Florida to Jacksonville
    LASIK is a two-step procedure. Firstly, the femtosecond IntraLase laser more safely creates the delicate corneal flap to better prepare the eye in a uniquely precise manner than with the traditional, bladed microkeratome. Secondly, the actual prescription correction is performed utilizing the ultrafast, wavefront optimized Wavelight Allegretto laser, featuring perfect pulse technology to better preserve the eye's more natural shape, and the only one of its kind in all of Florida to Jacksonville. To complete our commitment to premium laser technology, we also have the VISX Star 4 for CustomVue wavefront-guided vision correction for those who measure with higher order aberrations that may account for poorer quality of vision. All of these FDA approved premium technologies, when taken together is exclusive to Florida and onto Charlotte, NC, serve to enhance both the quantity as well as the quality of vision, especially for those who may already suffer from some nighttime glare and halo.

    Not limited to just one laser, Dr.Lessner is able to choose which premium technology will provide the very best results for each patient, personalizing each treatment plan every step of the way - another Millennium Difference.
