question regarding the price of lasik eye surgery?

regular pe

if i had only one eye that needs correction and that eye is 20/200 vision how much money would i have to spend on estimate?

Answer
Hi Anwar â The cost of LASIK or PRK can vary from anywhere between $500 per eye to $2000 per eye, and there are multiple reasons for the large range in price. Typically, the cost for patients with high prescriptions, hyperopia (farsightedness) or astigmatism is slightly higher than those with low or moderate myopia (nearsightedness). Technology is also a determining factor in the cost of the procedure. At LASIK MD, we offer Standard and Custom LASIK or PRK. Advanced Custom Wavefront offers better quality outcomes for those patients with high prescriptions, thin corneas and larger-than-average pupils. Custom LASIK requires technology that is costlier, and is therefore offered at a higher price.

With regard to your specific vision, 20/200 is roughly the equivalent of a prescription of -2.75, which is well within the correctable range for laser vision correction, but there are other characteristics which can determine your candidacy â such as corneal thickness and pupil size. The best way to find out if youâre a candidate is to undergo a preoperative consultation. LASIK MD offers free consultations, so try and find a laser vision correction centre near you that offers this service for free. LASIK MD also offers a Lowest Price Guarantee, so this is something else you may want to look for to ensure youâre getting the best price from your laser vision correction provider.

Hope that helps,
LASIK MD â Canadaâs laser vision correction provider

Will the price of lasik eye surgery go down in the near future?

lasik eye surgery price image

Nova G

I was thinking of getting the lasik eye surgery, but the cost is keeping me down.
I have myopia with -4.5d. Last time I checked the cost for costumvue lasik surgery was around $ 3,800 for both eyes.
I live in DC metro area. Thanks

Answer
Nothing else in our society is getting cheaper these days and as you know, the cost of living (and doctor's expenses-- staff, cost of laser, maintenance fee for the laser, royalty for the laser manufacturer every time the laser is used, rent will not be coming down anytime soon). I would not trust my eyes to a bargain basement dr. who flies in from out of town, does dozens of surgeries and then comes back in weeks. You need an established surgeon who isn't going to move out of town next month. Remember, LASIK is surgery. Not blood and guts surgery. But still surgery.

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

lasik eye surgery price image

Toms

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?

Answer
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 in Mexico? And is it safe there?

Gabriel

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

Answer
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.

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.

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!

Is it worth paying more for Lasik eye surgery?

Doreen

I see various prices for Lasik eye surgery. Is it worth paying more for Lasik eye surgery? Or is it a pretty straightforward procedure now and there is no reason to pay more for the procedure. Like to hear from anyone who got Lasik and what they felt about it.

Answer
There are a couple of different procedures depending on the condition of your eyes. Both me and my wife have had the surgery and I can tell you it is well worth the price. I suggest you shop around and compare prices. The difference is going to be in the services you get after the surgery. Good Luck!!!

How does a person find out if a doctor or a clinic is reputable or what their surgical record is? Help! Laura*

Q. I would like to have lasik eye surgery and notice that there is quite a difference in prices at different eye clinics. I need to know if the eye clinics in the larger cities and their doctors are actually good in this eye treatment. I don't want to risk my eyesight, just to save money. I am all about saving money and I don't mind the travel. I just need to check out the doctor's qualifications. Thank you

A. In general, higher prices are for a reason -- I would suggest asking at local eyeglass shops, because they tend to recommend certain clinics and doctors that they personally have had perform their own procedures

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.

Original Question

How much is the real cost of Lasik Eye Surgery?

Q. I have seen a lot of advertisement for lasik quoting it at 299 per eye. Granted its based on your perscription but my eyes are equal in perscription and in good shape so it cant be more than 400 per eye. The thing is I cant see how Lasik eye surgery can be only eight hundred. It promises no hidden fees but how exactly can that be? I just would like to hear from somebody who has gone through the process and knows the answer.

A. If it is too good to be true, it is probably not true.

The problem with the $299 Lasik places is that there are so many restrictions on what is provided and who is eligible that the number almost never applies. Also, the only way any surgeon could provide Lasik at that price is to use equipment that is obsolete. It may still be FDA approved, but the technology is obsolete.

Without insurance Lasik costs about $1,950 per eye. The price of Lasik varies from about $1,600 to $3,200 per eye, depending on the surgeon and technology, according to David Harmon, president of the St. Louis research firm Market Scope.

http://www.usaeyes.org/lasik/lasik-cost-price.htm

Although these are the true costs for Lasik, discounts are common. Lasik doctors run specials on Lasik quite often, you can ocassionally purchase a Lasik Groupon, and our nonprofit organization provides a $1,500 grant to be used toward Lasik.

http://www.usaeyes.org/lasik/lasik-groupon.htm

Original Question

How old do you have to be to have Lasik eye surgery?

Q. Can you be 16? If you do it at that age will it put you in any danger?
Is Lasik eye surgery permanent?! (will your vision be 20/20 all your life?!

also, if someone could tell me about how much it costs to have a congenital cataract remove, that'd be great!

A. Very permanent they cut a flap in the eye and use the laser under the flap then reposition it. You may never get 20/20 it all depends on your sight before surgery, laser eye surgery is designed to stop people having glasses, glasses are not giveb until your eyesight is below 16 so as long as they get it to that point.

And you hsve to be 18 and prices will depend entirely on the clinic. Go on the internet and read about it there are billions of pages about it.
