Bense Vision™ 17th Anniversary Celebration

We will gladly beat any competitor's price if they were to offer any type of blade-free LASIK.

On our 17th Anniversary Celebration, we are offering an Unprecedented Limited Time offer towards receiving your Vision Correction Treatment by any type of blade-free technology.

Although blade-free iLASIK™ is the premium LASIK brand in the world today, there are many other types of blade-free LASIK brands out there that do not use the full iLASIK™ suite of lasers and can therefore not perform iLASIK™. So to ensure that you receive the very best technology that NASA based its approval of LASIK on, call for iLASIK™ by name.

Only two requirements are necessary:

  • A written confirmation of equivalent clinical care* and technology at the lower price dated within the last six months must be presented at the time of free pre-operative assessment;

    *Equivalent care: Assurances that equivalent patient care before and after surgery will be provided, meaning: Every patient will be seen, examined and interviewed by the treating ophthalmic surgeon pre-op during his or her LASIK evaluation so as to obtain a proper informed consent discussion about all the risks, benefits and other refractive options available to that patient and again be seen only by a registered optometrist or ophthalmologist afterwards for every post-operative visit.

    • The competitor must be located within the same city or region.

‘Smart Choice': Best care before and after surgery



Our Solemn Promise to you!

You will always see your ophthalmic eye surgeon before your surgery (during your free eye evaluation) as well as after your surgery. All subsequent post-op care visits will be undertaken by a licensed optometrist or an ophthalmologist, who will personally examine you each and every time you come for a post-procedure check.

In many clinics this never happens. So make sure you are actually examined by your ophthalmic surgeon before you book your surgery wherever you go for your surgery!

Please Note

Meet your surgeon

  • Remember as well: “You will never get LASIK for less anywhere in St. John's. We promise you that. Period!
  • For financial reasons, you may choose a less costly procedure like Standard or Custom LASIK, but please remember that these are older and more conventional laser procedures. These older procedures are safe and effective, but do not match iLASIK™ for safety and results. Standard LASIK frequently worsens one's night vision and is therefore mostly avoided by most discerning laser clients.
  • Remember, this important surgical decision to be performed on your precious eyes, should not simply be a financial decision. When you make the final decision to have laser vision correction, your focus should be on quality care, the experience and reputation of your surgeon, and the hope of the outstanding, life-changing results that you can expect.
  • While laser vision correction can be an amazing procedure, your decision on where to go, should not be made lightly. The surgeon you choose for your LASIK procedure can mean the difference between excellent results or very real complications. Surgeons and patients alike are now enjoying the wonderful world of blade-free iLASIK™ thanks to recent advances and techniques that have made iLASIK™ safer than any other form of LASIK, with vision often better than 20/20 as well as improved night vision.
  • You will find all this and more at Bense
  • For a clinical description of each type of procedure, be it bladed, customized or blade-free, please visit our website: www.bense.ca

You will never pay more for LASIK (by blade or blade-free) here at Bense Vision™ than at any competitor in St. John's. That much we can promise you. Period!

Benefits of Blade-free iLASIK™

With iLASIK™, our patients have no need to worry about the steel blade-related side effects that can result from Standard or Custom LASIK done by blade. Studies have also shown that the quality of vision achieved with iLASIK™ is superior to that of LASIK. The computer-controlled lasers utilized in iLASIK™ enable the surgeon to make more precise treatments and corrections than when using a hand held blade.

This wonderful procedure produces a flap in a much safer fashion, that is much more precise in depth, is cleaner, more accurate and is thinner than the hand held steel blade used in regular LASIK procedures using a microkeratome. This results in many benefits to our patients.

  • More patients achieve vision 20/20 or better
  • Better quality of vision overall, particularly in low light such as at dusk or at night. For all indications submitted to the FDA, satisfaction with night vision improved after the CustomVue procedure.
  • iLASIK™ enables even faster healing and recovery rates than when using a blade.
  • iLASIK™ can improve the precision and visual results of LASIK, whether you choose to have a Standard or Custom procedure.
  • iLASIK™ allows surgeons to tailor the corneal flap for each individual patient and each individual eye.
  • iLASIK™ is of particular benefit to patients with steep, flat, or thin corneas, some of whom are not eligible for Standard or Custom LASIK/PRK surgery when performed with a blade.
  • Laser eye surgery has a complication rate of less than 1%. However, these complications are even further reduced by choosing iLASIK™.
