It is something that I really want to get but I don't have a lot of money. What is the average price in the boston area? and do you think they will let you finance it?
Answer
I had PRK a little over a month ago.
I researched my surgeon thoroughly...started with three in my area where I had recommendations from my optometrist and a corneal specialist I work for. I mean, I looked up EVERYTHING I could about them...price for me was not as important as education, experience, their failure/complication rates.
The national average is about $1300 to $2100 per eye, depending on the technology. My hubby had LASIK a couple of weeks before I did and he did finance his. I used my credit card. Funny part...they would not accept CASH!
My husband and I attribute our success to the education and experience of our surgeon...and he wasn't the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. $3400 for him and $4000 for me before our vision insurance discount.
The link below has a lot of information about vision correction procedures...and I put the link from their site to surgeons in Boston. That is most likely NOT the only ones there, but it's a place to start.
For my hubby and I, having our surgeries was a great experience with wonderful results....all due to our surgeon and following our postop instructions very carefully.

Where is there a good place to go to for laser eye surgery?

I am considering getting laser eye surgery because I am extremely near-sighted having a 7 or greater strength in both eyes with one eye needing a cylinder strength. However, I am a little nervous about the place I am going to. They offered a place to get drinks while I was there and when the procedure is done, both eyes are done on the same day. Now, I am thinking, "They must be having trouble attracting business if they are offering drinks to people", and, isn't it common procedure to do only one eye at a time when doing laser eye surgery in case something goes wrong? Would anyone know of a good, reputable place in Massachusetts close to the suburbs of Boston to go to for laser eye surgery?
I was also reading one other question on Yahoo questions answers and someone mentioned there is also a procedure using soundwaves to correct eye problems. Does anyone know anything about this procedure?

I had Lasik eye surgery 2years ago and I have never regretted it. I had both eyes done at the same time and had no problems whatsoever and my eyesight is still perfect.
I am in the UK so dont know about companies in the US but make sure you shop around. All companies have promotions (mine said £395 per eye but once I had consultations and tests I finally paid £1095 per eye) - so dont be tempted by offers or free things your eyes are very important.
All I can recommend is checking out customer feedback from companies and just go to a few consultations to suss them all out. Also dont settle for the cheapest - this is not always the best for you.
Good luck - it is the best thing I have ever done and you will not regret it
