Naomi Foster

Health Writer

Naomi covers the health and beauty beat across a handful of cost-focused sites, including this one. Her process is straightforward: she reads the pricing pages LASIK centers publish, checks industry surveys and reporting on refractive surgery costs, and writes up what she finds in plain language. She is not an ophthalmologist and does not claim to be one. Her job is tracking what procedures cost and explaining the trade-offs patients weigh, not diagnosing eyes or recommending a specific surgery.

She has written about elective medical and cosmetic procedure pricing for several years and makes a habit of checking "starting at" advertised prices against what patients actually report paying.
