LASIK Warranties vs. Enhancement Packages: What’s Worth Paying For?

Not all add‑ons are equal. Decide based on your risk profile, surgeon policy, and budget.

What these packages include

• Extended follow‑ups beyond the standard period
• Preferential pricing or no‑cost enhancements within policy criteria
• Replacement drops/shields or priority scheduling (varies)

When it might be worth it

• Higher prescriptions with a slightly higher chance of touch‑up
• You value extra peace of mind and extended access

When to skip

• Strong candidacy, clear no‑cost enhancement window already included
• Add‑on cost approaches the likelihood/price of a one‑off enhancement

Evaluate with numbers

• Compare package price vs. potential enhancement fees after the normal window
• Ask how often patients like you use the package benefits

Bottom line: Choose transparency and flexibility over vague promises. Many patients do well without extra packages.
