When people first start looking at Lasik eye surgery they will often be surprised at just how much it can cost. It normally costs around $1500 to $2500 per eye. It can be very difficult to accurately estimate the cost that you will need to pay because the price varies quite a lot. Also, the price will be affected by your condition which is why many people will get confused when looking at Lasik Specials. Every patient is different and will need different procedures and strengths of treatment. Unlike most other things, laser eye surgery has increased in price since it was introduced. This is because of the introduction of new machines and techniques which cost more to perform. The average cost is currently around $2000 per eye.

If you see an advert for any Lasik specials then you must be very cautious. These rates are often only for the basic surgery and actually when you add on all the extras, it will end up costing a lot more than you thought. Quite often you will see ads in newspapers and on TV which suggest the surgery can be completed for around $500. This makes the surgery sound very tempting and affordable. However, this will only be the basic costs and will not normally include extras which you will need. Also only a few people requiring minor surgery would in fact qualify for the basic price quoted. It’s also likely that all patients will need several repeat visits to clinics which will normally be an additional cost. There are sometimes some good Lasik deals available, but quite often these will be the same price as any other surgeon.

When you are choosing between Lasik specials on offer it is essential that you fully read the documents and understand everything about them. You will need to thoroughly read all the fine print and ask any questions if you do have some. Almost all practices will quote on a per eye basis, this is to make it easy to compare between other practitioners. Before going with any surgeon make sure you know exactly what you will pay. Ask for a breakdown if possible as you will need to pay for initial evaluation, examination, the procedure itself and repeat checkups. You will also need to find out exactly what is not included in the price which you have been quoted, you don’t want to make any mistakes and end up having a major argument when it comes to paying the bill! It’s also worth talking about the complications which could occur. While it is a safe procedure there are still some risks, these could push the prices up because further treatment would be needed. When choosing a Lasik eye surgeon it is important that you don’t just base it on price. The professionalism, type of surgery and aftercare provided are all equally as important. It’s the value of the package as a whole, not the price you need to pay for the surgery itself.
