Answer
Lasik generally costs between $3000-$5000. Most Lasik clinics and many Lasik surgeons offer free evaluations. The most important thing one should do, is to investigate the Lasik surgeon and the procedure thoroughly prior to committing to this surgery. Lasik is irreversible, so you must make sure to pick the best surgeon you can find and be very sure you are a good candidate for this surgery. Not everyone is. My nephew had Lasik and suffers from just about every adverse side effect connected with Lasik. He can no longer work or drive. ,
No one should have this surgery until they are absolutely sure their vision has stabilized, usually in your early to mid twenties, give or take several years. If you have the surgery prior to total vision stabilization, you will have to have the surgery repeated. LASIK is considered cosmetic surgery, is not covered by health insurance and can be quite expensive. Lasik is irreversible. Lasik has only been in use for a little over ten years and the long term side effects are unknown.
Anyone committing to Lasik must be prepared to accept the risks and side effects that are associated with this surgery. Most people experience satisfactory to excellent post surgical results with an increase in visual acuity to between 20/20 to 20/40. The most common side effect for all Lasik patients is irreversible dry eyes. However, there is a small percentage (about 5%) who experience night blindness, halos, star bursts and loss of vision. These side-effects are usually permanent and often cause depression and loss of quality of life issues See "Sources" below for additional information on Lasik procedures and side effects

I am nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other and I also have an astigmatism in one eye. Does anyone know if I'd be a good candidate for lasik eye surgery?
Answer
It depends on a lot of things such as stable prescription, pupil size, thickness of cornea, age, ect.
But, docs can do lasik even though you are farsighted in one eye and nearsighted in the other.
Schedule a consultation. It takes about a half an hour and 99% offer a FREE consultation.
