There are many LASIK practices in the Baltimore area, however the average consumer may not know what differentiates one practice from another. When choosing a LASIK surgeon, experience and technology are two of the most important factors to look for. Unfortunately, many people often over look the credentials of the surgeon and the technology being used for the procedure, letting price become the deciding factor.
LASIK advertisements often tout discounted procedures, such as $299 per eye. These discounted prices may seem attractive at first glance, however we urge you to read the fine print. Kameen Eye Associates does not claim to be the cheapest LASIK provider in the area, but when it comes to your vision, cheaper does not always mean better.
Below are several reasons why Kameen Eye Associates does not offer $299/eye LASIK.
- Many LASIK practices offer tiered pricing, where the patient pays a higher fee for a more advanced treatment. At Kameen Eye Associates, we do not believe in tiered pricing. Instead, all of our patients are treated with the safest and most advanced technology available. Click here to learn more about the procedures offered at Kameen Eye Associates.
- Your eyes are as unique to you as your fingerprints, therefore, Kameen Eye Associates offers our patients completely customized LASIK treatments based on the parameters of each patient’s eyes. Customized treatments result in more favorable outcomes for our patients. Click here to learn more about the customized treatments offered at Kameen Eye Associates.
- Kameen Eye Associates almost exclusively uses the IntraLase® Method to create the corneal flap during our LASIK procedures. The IntraLase®Method is one hundred times more accurate than the mechanical blade. Click here to learn more about the IntraLase® Method.
- Kameen Eye Associates owns one of the industry’s most state-of-the-art lasers, the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q. By having access to this advanced technology, Dr. Kameen is able to select the laser that is right for each individual patient. Click here to learn more about the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q.
- Many LASIK clinics staff several surgeons with different levels of experience. Oftentimes, the patient does not find out who will be operating on them until the day of surgery. At Kameen Eye Associates, Dr. Kameen treats each and every patient, so you can be sure that you are receiving the quality of care that you expect.

- Dr. Kameen is an award winning LASIK surgeon with over 15 years of experience. He played an integral role in the refractive industry, having performed the first laser vision correction procedure, the first LASIK IntraLase® procedure and the first NearVisionSM CK® procedure in the Baltimore area. Dr. Kameen is recognized as one of the “Top Five” surgeons in the country with a reputation for exceptional visual outcomes as well as personalized bedside manner.

- Kameen Eye Associates spends a great deal of time and resources making sure that we are always at the forefront of the LASIK industry. We are constantly updating our lasers, as well as other surgical and clinical equipment, when new technology is proven to be more effective for our patients. Many other LASIK practices are still using technology that is now obsolete.
- Staff education is of great importance to Kameen Eye Associates. Our staff receives extensive training and is recertified on a regular basis to ensure that our patients always receive the highest standard of care.
- At Kameen Eye Associates, our fee includes much more than the actual procedure itself. We offer each of our patients a complimentary consultation which includes all pre-operative testing and counseling, as well as a full year of post-operative care. We are so confident in our patients’ visual outcomes, that we also offer a Commitment to Care program that covers any re-treatment that may be needed within the first two years. Please contact our office for more information on our Commitment to Care program.
