How Much Does Laser Eye Surgery Cost?


How much does laser eye surgery cost? You really cannot pick up a newspaper or listen to music on the radio without hearing some clinic advertising about LASIK.

 Laser eye surgery is advertised from a few hundred dollars per eye to a few thousand dollars per eye. So which price is right. No one wants to have their eyes treated at the cheapest place but no one wants to feel as if they've overpaid as well.

 Why Costs Are Different 

 So why is there so much confusion as to how much laser eye surgery should cost the short answer is twofold? LASIK is not performed in only one way but with different technologies, techniques, and approaches. How LASIK is performed will determine your cost.

 Secondly, the LASIK fee quota can include or exclude a variety of tests medications, treatments, and aftercare. So the cost could actually be a fraction of what you will end up paying.

 Surgeon Expenses

 In general, you should expect to pay about $2,000 per eye for high-quality premium LASIK but the fee can be higher with a more experienced surgeon or with higher more complicated prescriptions.

 Premium LASIK

 Most importantly you need to understand what type of LASIK procedure and technology a clinic is offering, premium LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap and a customized or wavefront-guided technique to treat your prescription, this is usually referred to as custom all-laser LASIK. In general, this offers the best clinical results and the high safety profile for most patients. 

 Now that you have a better understanding and appreciation of the costs of laser eye surgery you can make an informed decision on what's right for you.
