Choose Between Two Options

  • $2,600 for custom wavefront LASIK surgery for both eyes (a $5,148 value)
  • $3,450 for bladeless custom wavefront LASIK surgery (a $6,348 value)

Before the procedure, the doctor uses custom wavefront technology to draft a 3-D blueprint of both eyes and plan a highly individualized treatment. During the surgery itself, which lasts about 20 minutes, a fine blade called a microkeratome or the bladeless IntraLase laser cuts a thin flap in the eye's numbed surface, then a guided laser reshapes the cornea to sharpen vision.

Both surgery options include the initial consultation, a dry-eye treatment with punctal plugs and drops, and one year of coverage for any necessary retreatment. Noncandidates are eligible for a refund and answers to FAQs can be found here.

Crown Laser Center

When Alive magazine publisher Elizabeth Tucker first thought about LASIK surgery as an alternative to the glasses she had worn since second grade, she didn't think it was an option. She feared the cost, worried about the time off work, and was unsure about how safe the procedure would be. Luckily, numerous friends told her about the transformative effects of their own procedures, and she finally decided to take the plunge at Crown Laser Center. There, a team of seven board-certified ophthalmologists, optometrists, and surgeons put Elizabeth and other clients at ease as they correct corneas with trained hands and cutting-edge equipment, boasting a 99% surgery-success rate. Elizabeth is now glasses-free and doesn't regret a thing. "It's been life-changing for me," she says in a video on the laser center's website, "I would recommend it to anyone."

The Groupon Guide to: Babe Ruth Myths

As the story of Babe "The Baby" Ruth's baseball career continues to be told to new generations, the facts are becoming more and more distorted. Dispel common Ruth myths with his handy guide:

Myth: Before hitting a home run in the 1932 World Series, he "called his shot" by pointing his bat toward the center-field bleachers.
Truth: Grainy film footage confirms that "The Sultan of Swing" did in fact point toward the bleachers before hitting a home run. However, Ruth faked the home run by taking a powerful swing, catching the pitched ball, discreetly swallowing it, and yelling, "A home run! A home run is what I just struck with my bat! Now I run the bases before you all!" The ball, and the truth, weren't revealed until much later, when Babe Ruth's doctor penned the bestseller Things I've Removed from Babe Ruth's Body: The Story.

Myth: A sick child asked Babe Ruth to hit a home run for him, and Ruth did.
Truth: "The Great Home Run Provider" did hit a home run for the child, and then two more; however, the only sickness the child suffered from was being selfish.

Myth: Babe Ruth died on August 16, 1948.
Truth: Though a death certificate confirms this date, "The Nightmare on Baseball Street" continues to live on in all of us because of his final wish—for his body to be donated to Hansen Paper Co. and then slowly parceled out into their paper products.

How many baseballs did Babe Ruth swallow?
