How much does corrective laser eye surgery cost?
mixedcurlyfriesz asked:
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.
