Excel Eye Center offers LASIK surgery to patients
through their flexible spending/cafeteria plan.

November 15, Provo, UT--Patients debating about whether or not to sign up for flexible spending health plans through their employer now have another reason to make the change. LASIK surgery is now considered a benefit that can use flexible spending funds.* This can save patients up to 30% on LASIK--literally hundreds of dollars- allowing them to receive quality care at a price they can afford now. Fall is the typical limited time enrollment period for most employers, so it is important for people considering LASIK surgery to get evaluated for the procedure soon, before setting aside the money for 2003.

“We offer free screenings so patients will know if they are a good LASIK candidate before setting aside flex money through their HR department,” says W. Scott Lohner, MD, LASIK surgeon at Excel Eye Center of Orem.

LASIK surgery may help a patient reduce or eliminate their need for contacts and glasses. It can now treat all types of prescriptions, including astigmatism. To find out if you are a candidate for this lifechanging procedure before you set aside flexible spending funds for 2003, call Excel Eye Center today at Provo- 877-YOUR-EYES. American Fork- 800-722-8754. Orem- 866-837-4766. Payson- 800-325-3127.

*Most insurance plans. Benefit will vary by employer.
