Comment on How much should I expect to pay for Lasik surgery? by LindyN

We charge between 2800-4000 for both eyes depending on what your prescription is. And there are other factors such as corneal thickness and pupil size that determine which lasik procedure is better for you. The most important thing is to find a reputable surgeon in your area. Ask around to friends and co-workers for advice as well. Most places do free consultations, so if you are really unsure go to a couple of places and get information about the surgeon and pricing. Most places can give you information regarding financing. It is usually through an outside company such as CareCredit or Capital One. Those are two that we offer. I had lasik done
2 1/2 yrs ago and absolutely love it. Good Luck and feel free to ask any questions.

My husband has this surgery several years ago in East Texas (Lehmann Eye Center is supposed to be one of the best in the country about 2 hours away from Houston, so I’m sure the procedures and prices are comparable). I’m thinking it was just over $1000 an eye. For some reason the figure $2000 is sticking in my mind. It could have been $2000 per eye, but I don’t think it was that high. I’m not sure if the prices have gone up, down, or stayed the same in the last 5 years.)
However, this is NOT something I would shop for the cheapest provider on—you definitely want a qualified professional! The latest technology is advertised as “blade-free” and it might cost more because the doctors haven’t paid off their new laser equipment yet, but it is supposed to be safer. (I don’t think they had that when my husband had his.)

I would recommend that you make appointments with at least a couple of prominent opthalmic surgeons in your area based on personal recommendations of others with successful results. Ask around; it’s becoming a fairly common procedure, so there’s bound to be someone you know from work, family, church, etc. who can give you firsthand info. The ones who do it in this area give free consultations, and Dr. Lehmann usually has several public workshops during the year where he does a surgery in front of an audience and gives away a free one as a door prize. So I’m sure you can get a free consult and get a better idea of the costs, as well as risks and benefits from any doctors in your area.

My husband loves living without glasses (he never could get used to contacts!) His eyes are now better than mine!

I just had it done for $6000 (both together) at the Herzig Eye Institute in Toronto. All I can say is do not “price shop” for this procedure. Go to the absolute best, and if you can’t afford them, wait till you can.

Eyes are not replaceable.

P.S. I would not go to anywhere that charged less that $4000 for the entire procedure.

Be careful. Don’t just go for the cheapest. Find someone that is reputable. Look very carefully into the history of the doctor.
I had it done, and it’s the best thing I ever did for myself. I paid about $2000-$2500 per eye, and this was five years ago. The price might have gone down since then, because it’s more common now and more doctors are doing it.

Lasik and Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye 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.

Hope this helps.
