LASIK Eye Surgery and than becoming a pilot ?

Q. Hi guys,
My eye vision is 2.25 L and 2.00R. I would like to do this Lasik eye Surgery so than I can see everything without needing a specs. My question is, is this possible to do and can I still become a Pilot or will I have problems later in Life ?
Thanks.

A. YES DON'T DO LASIK!!!!! You will ruin your military flying career!! PRK is the only authorized corrective surgery for pilots. I am going to flight school myself and have researched like crazy! Current prices are around $3500 for both eyes. The military also requires one year healing time after surgery; so plan accordingly! Good Luck!

How much does Lasik eye surgery cost in Mexico? And is it safe there?

Q. I have a cousin that got Lasik eye surgery in Mexico for about $400 for each eye. Is this a typical price in Mexico? In the U.S., prices are typically three times as much, like in the $1,500 to $2,000 range for each eye. I'm just a little hesitant doing any kind of surgery in Mexico.

I currently live in Dallas but I'm looking for affordable Lasik. Thanks

A. Stay away from mexico for any surgery. it costs more here because a Professional does it. it costs less in mexico because a wanna be US Citizen doctor does it.

Can LASIK eye surgery improve your eyesight to a certain percentage?

Q. I don't know if my perscription is too high to get LASIK eye surgery and end with 20/20 vision but can lasik improve my eye sight to a certain percentage so I won't have to pay full price? Also, will I have to bring both my contacts and glasses perscription with me to the consultation?

A. If your vision is so bad that they can't completely fix it using lasik, (they can usually do up to around -8 -10 or so, depends on how thick your corneas are). Paying all that money and still wearing glasses (although thinner ones) afterwards doesn't sound like a wise investment to me. I believe there are other eye treatments capable of correcting higher degrees of nearsightedness available that are worth checking out first. It couldn't hurt to bring the prescriptions, as that way, they will have an idea of what they are up against. If you decide to go ahead with the procedure they will do their own quite thorough scrutiny of your eyes beforehand.

How much does lasik eye surgery cost nowadays?

Q. I've been wanting lasik eye surgery for a long while now coz I'm so sick of contacts and glasses. Is there monthly payments or payment in full? And will getting lasik get rid of astigmatism, or lazy eyes as well??

A. Mine was about $2K per eye. But it depends on the method of surgery, the extensiveness of corrective work needed, and the doctor you use.
Most places have financing available. I think it can help astigmatism, but I don't know about lazy eye. Consultations are usually free of charge so be sure to visit a few doctors to find the one that's best for you.

These are your eyes, you don't want to bargain shop, and the price is worth it.
