what is the ballpark estimate price range for lasik eye surgery?

Tom S

It would be nice to have a close estimate because I honestly have no idea what it costs.

I live in nebraska and wear contacts. Slight astigmatism in my right eye. Contact prescription is -2.00 in left eye and -1.50 in my right

any answers help!

Thanks

Answer
Somewhere around $2000. You would not be a good candidate for LASIK. The risks of the surgery would surely outweigh the benefits. The reason I say this is because LASIK does not always produce perfect vision, you may still have to wear contacts or glasses and the risk of a bad outcome that would affect your sight for the rest of your life - the risk is not worth it. Your Rx is not strong enough to warrant surgery.

How likely are you to need a "touch-up" procedure after a LASIK surgery?

lasik eye surgery estimated cost image

Q. Assuming after a healing period following surgery that you are in the area of 20/20, in good health, and previously suffered from mild to moderate near-sightness only?

How often are touch-up's needed? Despite the relative newness of true Lasik technology, am I safe to assume 20+ years down the road most will not need it?

Is paying the extra 1000 dollars for the lifetime touch-up plan a waste of money if all goes reasonably well the first surgery?

(The company is Lasik Plus in case you are curious)

Thanks.

Answer
15%-20%

A 1999 study published in the Jounral of Ophthalmology (1) found that somewhere between 14.6% and 19.2% of eyes treated with LASIK required touch-up (referred to as 'retreatment'.) This study was large - over 2000 patients. These patients required treatment of both eyes for myopia - near-sightedness, and it was a few years ago, so things might have changed. I think that this is probably a good estimate for you to work with.

We know that if you don't need a touch-up within six months, you almost certainly won't need it after 11 years. (2) We don't know about longer periods than that.

It terms of whether or not it is worth it, the answer is that the company selling the touch-up plan makes money - a lot of it. If they didn't, they wouldn't offer the plan. Don't waste your money - if you need a touch-up, it won't cost much over $1000 anyway.

Answer
Hello, I am a representative from LasikPlus hoping to provide you an answer to your question.

The price of laser correction vision surgery varies significantly by provider, type of procedure to be performed, and equipment used. WebMD estimates that typical costs for LASIK are in the range of $2,200-$2,250 per eye. While these one-time figures may seem high , itâs important to keep in mind that laser vision correction procedures are intended to achieve permanent vision correction. If you consider the cost of glasses or contact lenses over time, these numbers compare quite favorably.


LasikPlus has centers in both Jacksonville and Orlando, Florida. If you want to check out our doctors and locations page, http://tinyurl.com/FB-Doctors-Locations, you can see the exact locations and learn about the doctors. Your decision about where you will have your LASIK procedure is as important as your decision whether or not to have laser vision correction. Your surgeon should have extensive experience performing the procedure he or she is recommending for you, as well as an excellent track record of success.

While this is some of the general information I can provide on the topic, every personâs eyes are different. In order to learn more about laser eye surgery and have all of your questions answered, I would recommend coming in to the center most convenient for you to take advantage of a free consultation. This appointment will also help you determine which procedure, if any, would be right for you. Feel free to visit http://tinyurl.com/LasikPlus or call 1 (866) 953-0282. I hope this information was helpful, thank you for taking the time to research LASIK!
