Expect to pay 1000 - 2000 dollars.\n\nIf it sound too good to be true (like these 200 dollar deals) it probably is. Eyes are very precious and it is important to get the surgery done by a reputable clinic.

I've had LASIK and to tell you the truth, I think it was the best thing for me.\n\nI was totally freaked out before I had it done!  I kept working myself up.\n\nI've had problems with my eyes for quite a while.  My contacts used to get really dried out and I would have to take them out and wear glasses by 5:30/6:00 p.m.\n\nYou can't feel anything.  They put drops in your eyes to numb them.  You can see what's going on, but not really.  All you see is a red light.  That's all.\n\nMy surgery cost about $2K an eye.  There are other places that are cheaper/more expensive.  You should shop around to see what kind of prices you can get and what qualifications the doctors have.\n\nI know that may sound like a lot of money, but when you think about it, you're saving the money on the glasses, contacts and contact solution.\n\nIf you want more info you can email me.  Hope this helped.

I have been wearing soft contact lenses since 1979, when they cost $350 a pair (and that was in 1979).  Now, soft lenses cost about $20 for a box of 6, or $40 for 6 pair.  If you have astigmatism, you will pay about $90 for 6 pair.  \n\nThe game is that you're supposed to throw the lenses away after anywhere from a couple days to a month.  However, I routinely keep my (so-called) disposable lenses for 6 months or longer per pair by keeping them clean and disinfected, using a daily cleanser, soaking solution, and a weekly (about every 2 weeks in reality) enzyme soak.  \n\nVirtually all lenses cost the same.  It is your eye doc who will decide what brand you are prescribed.  Typically your optometrist works with a limited selection of brands, and will choose the best among those.  You will probably be given a free pair to wear on a trial basis, to make sure they are comfortable and fit properly.  Overall, lenses are very similar these days.  \n\nIf you wear your lenses every day, you should expect to pay about $15/month for supplies to keep them clean.  Note that this is cheaper than replacing lenses frequently, but it's not free.  And you will still have expenses for solutions and such even if you do replace your lenses frequently.  If you are new to contact lenses, you should expect to lose or ruin a pair or two in your first year--this is where you benefit from inexpensive disposable lenses.  \n\nI don't know where you live, but in the U.S., Consumer Reports recently said that the best price and service available for purchasers of eyeglasses and contact lenses is at either Costco or Sam's Club.  These stores' eye centers are open to the public, even if you don't have a membership (it's Federal law that their pharmacies, optometrists and other health-related facilities be open to the public without restriction).  I have used them for years, and I get excellent service and the best prices--in Dallas, for instance, it's about $100 for a contact lens + eyeglass exam, and another $90 for my toric lenses.  Wal-mart is another good choice.

It all depends on the doctor that you go to.  They all pretty much set their own prices.  Call your ophthalmologist and ask.

Talk to an eye specialist, like an ophamologist, to discuss all the benefits and the potential risks about it. Cost varies but I've read between 1000 and 2000 dollars per eye.

I had lasik done last year, at 42, for moderate to severe (20/675) myopia.  I'm a hair away from 20/20 now, and am very pleased.\nIf you see an experienced surgeon and are screened for risk factors for the surgery, there should be very little risk of a bad result.  Of all the people I know, only one has had a problem afterwards, and that was chronically dry eyes.  However, she had it done 6 years ago with a blade, not laser, and was told she was borderline (too flat an angle) for the surgery anyway.  \nThe lazy eye can be done if the laziness is not too severe.  You'd have to be examined by the doctor to know for sure. \nI don't know where you are, but I had my eyes done in Canada.  They are 5 years ahead of the USA as far as lasik experience, and it cost half of what it would have cost here.

you are conscious, only your eye is numbed. You could check with your doctor if you prefer something different, but it would also effect the price of the surgery considerably.

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!!!!

the cost varies from place to place. It seems to be cheaper getting it done at a doctor's office than it does at a laser center. You do have to have more than one treatment because the hair can only be destroyed when it's in the the growth stage. The hair has to have some color to it as well. The results are great!\nI would think the bikini area would be in the $800 to $1000 range

Due to the advancement of the technology and better training for the doctors that preform the operation, the actual price of lasik is going down.  But I'd still look around and see if you notice a trend in price, ask for success rates, and be smart when you choose which is the best.  Also check the Better Business Bureau to see if they have any complaints.

I had mine done years ago and I love it.  However, not everyone who gets it done comes out perfect, my mom is having trouble with her peripheral vision and she gets bad night reflective glares, but the rest of my family are fine too.  Lasik technology has also gotten much better these days though.  \n\nIt's such a quick procedure, like 10 minutes, and you don't feel a thing except afterwards it stings for a day or two, it feels like you have something stuck in your eye or you scratched it, cuz it's your cornea healing from the incision, but they give you eyedrops and painkillers for it.

I work at a LASIK center, and have also had it done (a little over 2 years ago).\n\n1. No pain or discomfort. You may feel a little pressure on the eyes but nothing too bothersome.\n\n2. At our center, we offer patients 5-15 mg of Valium to help you relax and also help you sleep after the surgery.\n\n3. The valium helps you relax (like you've had about a drink or so) so your eyes shouldn't be moving too much. On top of that, you probably will be too worried to move them. Depending on what technology used (which laser - it may be a scanning or tracking laser) the laser may track any eye movements.\n\n4. After surgery, your vision may be blurry, you may be dilated for surgery as well. After a nap (a couple of hours, or maybe about 6 hours later) when you wake up, most people notice a difference and it just gets better the next day.\n\n5. Reading glasses are needed for those 40 or older after surgery. Those who are 40 have 2 options when considering LASIK. They can do full distance vision in both eyes, which they will need readers for anything within arm's length. The other option is monovision - one eye (most of the time, the dominant eye) and the other for reading. Which they will not need any readers, but with monovision one loses depth perception. \n\n6. At our office we recommend no eye makeup for 1 week after surgery. After that you can (I did) but the challenging part was not rubbing the eyes while taking it off. (No eye rubbing for 1 month after surgery).\n\n7. I did not have any complications with surgery. You may see halos, glaring and starbursts at night for the first week or two after but they will fade. Common side effects for some people are over or under correction (which they can do a retreatment to fix).\n\nGood luck! Don't worry too much. It's pretty easy (take the valium if your offered some it will definitely help!) You'll love your new vision afterwards, it's like a miracle!

No, but if you want a inexpensive deal in laser removal go to Mexico you will find great centers of cosmetic surgery and the best at all is the price. here in USA doctors leach you with money in Mexico or Latin America countries doctors and cosmetic surgery is as good quality as USA and you don't have to pay non sense extra money that help doctors to pay their expensive lifestyle.\n think about i and check prices, you won't regret
