Ophthalmology & Laser Surgery
Savings of 10% to 30% on medical eye exams and surgical procedures
including refractive surgery(PRK and Lasik).
CTC contracts with ophthalmologists (M.D.’s) in selected markets across the country to provide cardholders with discounts on eyeglasses, contact lenses, eye exams, and surgical procedures (including RK, PRK, ALK & LASIK surgery) where available. If there is not an ophthalmologist in the area, cardholders may give their doctor’s name, address, and phone number to a CTC representative and he/she will be invited to join the program.
In keeping with the CTC tradition of utilizing both chain and independent providers, CTC contracts with national chains of laser surgery centers to provide discounts on refractive laser surgery. In addition, CTC contracts with independent ophthalmologists who also provide discounts on refractive surgery.
