Exactly where are you put up?  Should have mentioned the place you are from.

You can not have it through National Health.\nLaser eye surgery involves changing the shape of the cornea by burning it with laser and making it thin. The process is irreversible. It is wonderful if all goes well but it is a disaster if something goes wrong. Think carefully before proceeding.

Your best option for this question is to research on the Net from reputible sites. Then make an appointment with your doctor of choice for laser. Make a list of your concerns and questions. (Please do this because you'll forget some of them during the consult if you don't.)Generally, your first appointment/consultation is free. The ones that actually do this surgery are the ones that can answer all your questions. Don't rely on answers here. I would be surprised if there was someone that does that type of procedure here answering questions and would be leary of ones that say they are. Good luck!

I had it done in 2003 for about $2400. Insurance did NOT cover it.\n\nHere's my bloggage from the time:\n\nhttp://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=stjnky&nextdate=4%2f6%2f2003+23%3a59%3a59.999\n\nI was 37 at the time. That's "gettin on up thar" in eyeball years, which means my prescription for nearsightedness had been stable for a good long time, which is a good thing in LASIKworld, but since I was approaching middle age, the warranty wouldn't be good for very long... meaning, LASIK may give you 20/20 vision *right now*, but your eyes are still likely to change as you get older and you *might* end up needing glasses again some day.\n\nI've been very happy with the results. The only downside is that, I guess since they are cutting through nerves in your cornea when they do this sort of thing, your eyes might end up being a little bit drier than they used to be (maybe you don't *feel* all the dust particles like you used to? I dunno.)\n\nOhyeah, and this year, at age 40, when I went for my eye exam, I was informed that my left eye is 20/20, but my right eye is 20/50.\n\nI still don't *need* glasses, but I find that it helps with night driving. The other interesting thing about LASIK and night vision is that, since your pupils get bigger in the dark, you're viewing things through more of the laser-scraped part of your cornea, so you're more likely to have slightly less-than-perfect vision at night. Have you ever heard about the "starbursts" some people report seeing around lights at night? It's probably due to that. I don't see starbursts, and the doc told me that's mostly a thing of the past as LASIK technology has improved over the years, but I do experience a bit of hard-to-describe distortion. It's not a *dealbreaker*, but the glasses *do* make it better.\n\n(Fun fact: note the monacle in the profile pic? That's for the 20/50 eye. :-)

An excellent place to look for this is at thrift stores. You can check Goodwill, Salvation Army, your local hospice probably has a thrift store. This way, you have a good chance of getting the real thing, not a "reproduction". If you want them for your prescription eyewear, just clean them thoroughly, and take them to your choice of eyewear providers. They will put your lenses in the frames, and, voila! For probably a quarter or less you have exactly what you are looking for.........quality included.\nI would like to add, that I am on a very tight budget. I wear solid gold wireframe glasses. I paid 25 cents for them at Goodwill, and did as I instructed you. There's no possible way I could afford these frames retail. This advice will also help in other facets of your life. I drive a 7 year old BMW (for example) I have a car that originaly sold for close to $50k, I paid $10k for it. It looks/drives as good as when it left the showroom. My friends have no idea how poor I am.

Laser surgery is usually recommended for people with high myopia IE. -4 and above ie.,-8 or -12 etc.\nHowever if a person feels his beauty is getting impaired by glasses and discomfiture using a contact lens he may opt for a laser surgery. A fine laser vaporises a thin layer of cornea so that the light is made to bend at appropriate angle and is made to focus on the retina.\nThe procedure is painless and in done in stages\n\nLaser urgery if done under sterile conditions and by a experienced optholmologist should cause less problem

Well the answer is YES.  I just wonder what type of eye surgery you are having?  Cataract surgery is always done on one eye at a time.  LASIK or corrective laser surgery is usually done on both eyes at the same time, but often we only do one eye.  A lot of people have different prescriptions in each eye.  It is not uncommon to do a monovision-type of procedure so that one eye sees for distance while the other sees for near.  Also, in regards to the cost, I would think that you could make a deal with the facility in which if you pay up front for both eyes and only have one eye done at a time, you could still get the discounted price.  (just my thinking).  Good luck!!!!

I paid $1800 per eye at a very respected clinic.  I love a good bargain, but not when it comes to my vision.  Some of the cheaper places that charge less than $1000 per eye are using a lower quality machine and the risk of having problems like seeing halos around lights at night or even blindness increase significantly.

Dr. Furlong in San Jose is the absolute best!!!! I went there three months ago with -9.75 in my left and -8.75 in my right and now I have 20/20. No kidding!!! He is the best!!!!! I have no complications, no hazing, no scarring, just perfect vision! It wasnt cheap though. I had no insurance and it cost me 5000 for both eyes. but they do offer a payment program.

I work for an optometrist that also comanaages laser patients. I've probably met at least 150 people that have had it done. That vast majority love it and have had excellent results. Usually, the worst I've seen are cases of chronic dry eyes. That doesn't mean there aren't risks, they are just low. Do your research to find a good surgeon and ask lots of questions. Remember you may need touch-ups and if you are young, you will need reading glasses at around 40-45 regardless.

Go to an Urgent Care group close to where you live.  This is an easy-to-fix problem and be sure to let the provider know you are on a budget.  There are some standard medications that are cheaper than others and do the job 95% of the time.  I'd estimate with Rx, you can do it for $50-60 dollars, maybe cheaper.  Check around.  \n\nA second thought.  Does you campus have a student health center.  That certainly would be the cheapest.  Look into it.\n\nA third thought.  Some towns have low income or volunteer health clinics that will see you.  I used to volunteer at one.  We asked for a $5 donation which included being seen and medication...what a deal.\n\nDon't go to the ER - the bill will be five times that of an urgent care.  In the ER it is their job to prove this is not an eye emergency and that takes time and dollars.  A hospital does have to evaluate you whether you have insurance or not but they do not have to treat you if you are not experiencing a life and death issue.  Further they will attempt to bill you for services rendered, including sending the bill to collections...save yourself the grief, find a clinic as I mentioned above.

I would strongly recommend you and your friend to read this website carefully before making a decision. You have only one pair of eyes, and therefore should not risk your most precious things. I have had lasik surgery myself, and if I were given a choice , I would never have it again. Please do not believe in those who can benefit from your surgery. What they aim at is money, and not your health. I think there is a new technique that helps shape your eyes and thus reduces your myopia without involving any operations at all.\n\nUseful website:\n\nhttp://www.lasikdisaster.com/

Best money that i ever spent.   Had a prescription (for contracts) of -6.5 in both eyes - so my eyesight was terrible.   Had both eyes done at the same time - better than 20;20 vision after recovery.  Hurts a little bit straight after, but recovery time is quick - everything was fine after 2-3 days.  \n\nWould advise anybody to have it done.

Cosmetic surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.\n\nForerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nHope this helps.

I had laser vision surgery a few years ago in one of my eyes. I didn't get it done in the other because I wanted to be able to read without glasses with one eye and see in the distance with the other without glasses. It worked out well for me this way and I never need glasses (except sunglasses). I haven't need any kind of maintenance after the 1st couple of visits. Locally it costs about $500 per eye but it probably will be different by where you live. You will have to ask an eye doctor about your other questions but keep in mind you only have to get one eye done if you still want to be able to read without glasses. Good luck.
