Davis Vision Center Christmas Party

Davis Vision Center — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:51:04 +0000

We enjoyed a fun Christmas party at Gardner Village last night. We had a great dinner followed by a Christmas Bingo game with prizes. The staff really liked the Christmas bonuses and Dr. Davis got a great gift from the staff – a gift certificate at REI where he visits regularly. It was great getting to know everyone better on a less formal basis especially Drs. Hepworth and Johnson who have both joined us this year.

Dr. Hepworth is a great and fun loving guy. He is an Optometrist who specializes in hard to fit contacts.

Dr. Johnson is the newest member of our team. He was a professor of Oculoplastic Surgery at Duke University but he has returned Utah to be with family and we are happy to have him. He specializes in plastic surgery of the face. He does a beautiful job on cosmetic surgery as well as facial trauma.

Don’t rub your eyes

Dr. Brian Davis — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:55:28 +0000

Eye rubbing is common with many of us. Most of us rub our eyes sometimes without even recognizing that we do it. But it can have detrimental effects on our eyes. Eye rubbing causes inflammation to occur making our eyes and lids red. It has been linked to eye diseases such as cataracts and keratoconus. It also loosens the skin around the eyes contributing to drooping eyelids as we age. It can have detrimental effects if we have had recent eye surgery. So next time you’re tempted to rub think twice.

Birthday celebration

Today all Davis Vision Center staff enjoyed a birthday lunch. Two staff members had birthdays so we decided to go have some mexican food at Guadalahonkys in Draper. It was lots of fun even though it was a little scary driving in the snow storm.

LASIK in the Long Run: LASIK Cost vs Wearing Glasses and Contacts

Davis Vision Center — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:30:46 +0000

We have received an increasing number of questions and inquiries lately asking about the cost of LASIK and we thought it would be both useful and interesting to calculate the difference between LASIK costs and the cost of wearing glasses and/or contacts over a lifetime.

We hope this helps you in your LASIK research – let us know if you have any questions or how we can help!

Or, click here to see the difference in cost between LASIK and wearing glasses and contacts.

We found some surprising results:

A 20 year-old could save up to $48,000 over his/her lifetime with LASIK
LASIK could pay for itself within 3 years (if you wear prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and use contact lenses)
LASIK is even cost effective for most people in their 40s!
Much more

These statistics are based on the average U.S. life expectancy of 77.7 years, and our own estimates of vision correction costs based on current average industry prices and recommendations.

These are the figures used in creating the info-graphic:

Prescription Eyeglasses: $200 every other year
Prescription Sunglasses: $350 every other year
Contact Lenses: $40 every month
Contact Lens Supplies: $12 every month
Annual Eye Exam (also applies to LASIK): $105 every year
LASIK Cost: $3,000

Your actual prices will probably vary from our calculations, based on what your situation – your annual visits may be more or less expensive than our estimate, and you may pay a different amount for glasses or contacts or buy them at in less frequent intervals – but we hope that this will be helpful for anyone who is researching the costs and benefits of LASIK.
