How Much Does It Cost To Get Laser Eye Surgery

The first thing that must be considered when you consider lasik laser eye surgery procedure is the price. It's hard to offer a fixed price because there are several factors that change the final amount from one case to another.

The first one is the geographical location. For example: a famous surgeon from Beverly Hills is considerably more expensive than another one from Pennsylvania.

Also, the treatment facility must be taken into account because a small private clinic won't charge the same price as a hospital or a specialized eye treatment center.

Another important factor is the reputation of the surgeon and of the center. It's obvious that a professional doctor will ask more money for the procedure than any his colleagues.

After considering all the above mentioned factors you'll probably want to know the average price for the lasik laser eye surgery. Well, the standard rate used globally is about 00.

But to this amount, you should add money for local taxes, surgeon's reputation, geographical location and last but not least the doctor's royalty fee. Either way, you should know that for most surgeons the price is pretty much the same.

If you wonder about additional costs, you should know that your doctor must quote the total amount during your first eye-consult. In addition to all that you'll have to pay for the follow-up treatment and post-op medication if needed.

There are strong competition in the field of lasik eye surgery and that's why many surgeons offer some form of discounts in order to remain competitive. Usually they publish the coupons on the local newspaper or on the Internet but just to be sure, when you go see the doctor for the consult you might wanna ask him about any discounts offers.

For example there are a few surgeons that offer discounts to patients that pay cash for the procedure while others offer senior citizen discounts.

Also, if you're really looking to find a good bargain for your surgery and you don't mind going to other cities then you should start a research on the Internet.

As I said before the geographical location is very important and if you're lucky you can find an affordable treatment center perfect for your budget. This means that you'll get your surgery and you'll enjoy a very pleasant vacation in the same time.

    How much does corrective laser eye surgery cost?
    I’m seeking to get that since I wear glasses. I hate glasses so I use to wear contacts for about a year or so but then they got lost or dried up. I don’t quite remember so now I’m seeking to get corrective laser eye surgery.

    I’m gonna see if I can get it with my insurance but I’d also like to know how much it costs. Does anyone know ? Of an estimate or exact cost ? Thanks !

      With LASIK surgery you will generally get what you pay for: the more experienced surgeons with the more advanced technology will charge more for LASIK. Here in Southern California you could probably find someone good who would charge in the range of $2,500-3,800 per eye.

      Probably the most important decision someone who is considering LASIK must make is what surgeon to choose. Although I do not perform LASIK, I have created a document for my cataract patients to help them in choosing a surgeon. The article can be viewed by clicking this link:

      The advice in this document can be applied to choosing any surgeon in any specialty, not just cataract surgeons.

      Laser eye surgery typically cost between $1,400 to $2,000 per eye. Most providers have financing plans available. Many providers offer free consultations to determine if you are a good candidate.
      Most providers consider 18 years of age the minimum age for laser vision correction (LVC). LVC is a general term referring to both Lasik and PRK. It may be possible for you to have LVC at age 19, depending upon the amount of your refraction (glasses prescription), the stability of your refraction during the last several years, your general medical health, your family history, and other factors. I have treated many patients as young as 18 years old. However, I have also advised many patients in the 18 – 25 year old range that they need to wait a few more years to make sure their eyes are stable before proceeding.
