    • ]]>     In the United States the most common type of vision correction surgery for myopia is lasik eye surgery. While lasik eye surgery cost has dropped in the past few years it still cannot be considered cheap. The drop in price is still a good thing as in the past eye surgery was not easily affordable by the middle classes, although that has now changed and most anyone who desires lasik eye surgery can find a way to afford it.

    Eye surgery cost is dependent on several factors. The high cost of the lasers and the software used to map and track the eyes is one thing that makes lasik so expensive. In addition, you’ll find that the experience and talent of the doctor as well as the location of the laser surgery center will have an effect of the cost of eye surgery. Finally, the type of correction being made and the degree of affliction will directly impact the cost of your eye surgery.

    The total cost of lasik eye surgery is determined by all of the above factors and will also include administrative costs, facilities fees and possibly insurance costs as well. While you may have seen prices of $500 per eye for lasik surgery it’s more realistic to expect anywhere from $750 to $1500 per eye. This will include all of the cost including any pre-operative consultations and follow up appointments. It’s important that you determine what is and what is not covered in the price quoted to you by the eye surgery clinic so that you can make an informed decision.

    You will be able to find plenty of lasik information from magazines and the internet prior to your first consultation and I would recommend doing your homework this way first so you will know what to expect and what questions need to be asked. Watch out too for advertisements of very cheap lasik procedures since many times these ads are for very limited packages that may not be suitable for everyone. Take the time to read the fine print.

    Payment for the lasik eye surgery will most usually come directly from you since many insurance companies will not cover the cost of lasik since they consider it to be an elective and cosmetic procedure. Even those that do cover lasik surgery typically only provide a small benefit. If necessary you may be able to use financing to cover your eye surgery cost.
