Eye Lasik Surgery Cost

Whereas in times of old LASIK eye surgery cost a fortune, thanks to technological innovations today virtually anyone can take advantage of LASIK procedures!

There are steps you should take however, to ensure you get the most bang of your buck. While many have enjoyed a reduction in price for traditional LASIK procedures, newer technology has also resulted in price increases for some newer, more precise surgery. Overall traditional eye lasik surgery procedures still cost roughly $1,000 to $3000 to complete.

Here are some considerations when reviewing eye LASIK surgery costs:

* Be clear if working with a company advertising a price that the price reflects your prescription and your individual procedure/needs. Some lasik discounts only apply to people who need minimal vision correction. If you fall outside the range defined by the deal, you may be unpleasantly surprised when you receive your bill.


* Make sure your costs include the cost of follow up visits. You don't want to have to pay extra for visits occurring after your procedure. You should also consider asking the center what their policy is about you calling and coming in if you feel you are experiencing complications after surgery. Provisions for this should be included in their literature.


* Check to see whether the price quoted you includes providing enhancements within the first year of surgery. Many enhancements are performed within this time frame. If possible, make sure you avoid additional fees associated with enhancements. Typically you can negotiate this as part of the actual fee you pay up front. Most competent surgeons make this very clear.
