does it really take that long? Any takers for this. Is it just a computerized test?

Yes,
this will be the longest eye exam you ever had
Lasik Plus does a very good job, I have had mine for 9 years, and never regretted it

I just had the procedure done 2 weeks ago at lasikplus. I'm going to see if I can get it retroactive....free flight!

Appears to be in store for the eye exam.

I've done two lasik consultations...it's kind of humorous, but kind of creepy. Imagine a cross between a doctor visit and a timeshare presentation. I was waiting for them to mention breast implants. And I'm a guy

Still, if I were 5,000 miles away from an award ticket, I'd do it in a second. As far as Lasik, sadly, I'm not a good candidate due to thin corneas.

Hmm...I've already had the procedure done. I wonder if I can still sit thru the consultation for the miles.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up, OP!

yeah, i know but i wasnt sure how invasive is the test. I guess i should have mentioned... computerized eye exam... anyhow, the previous Bosley Delta miles deal was just too easy!

I just had it done...in and out within 95 minutes. If you want the results of the exam, they charge $90 but the doctor did tell me that my prescription has not changed and that my eye pressure is holding steady (I told him my previous results). There wasn't much of a hard-sell because their office was jam-packed (FW effect?)

Will update the thread when the miles post.

Thanks, OP. Got my exam this morning. In and out in less that 90 minutes. Now just need the 5,000 miles.

Reminds me of the 20k promo for Bosley hair transplants.

Am I supposed to wear glasses/contacts to even go there?

FYI, they said the promotion doesn't start until 8/1 when I called. You might want check on this or else you are not getting your miles. I wouldn't qualify I believe because I got 15% off from Aetna.

Do they charge or bill the insurance for the eye exam or is it free?

i think this is similar to the marketing that bosley does so there should be no cost...but a good thing to call and check. it does say free above (by OP/online)

They are only administering the exam to see if you are a viable candidate for LASIK. Like I posted above, the exam itself is free. They will not provide the exam results to you unless you pay for it ($90). You even have to sign a waiver waiving your right to the test results unless you pay for them. That being said, I was "lucky" because when I asked the medical assistant if there were changes in eye pressure or prescription, she said no. Of course, I have no way of knowing whether she is telling the truth because I didn't shell out the $90 for the exam results.
