How much should I expect to pay for Lasik surgery?

rswilson3 — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 03:35:18 +0000

I have worn contacts since the 5th grade and they are starting to dry out my eyes. I would like to get the Lasik surgery, but I want to make sure it is an option I can afford. I’m sure there is financing available.

For the record, this is in Houston, Texas. I am not interested in going elsewhere for the surgery.
Also, I need the surgery because I have astigmatism, and I’m nearsighted.
I’m 23 years old. I know, the 5th grade comment made me sound really young.

How old are you now, because you have to be at least 21 for Lasik. It will cost anywhere from $300 per eye to $1000 per eye depending where you go.

If you are suffering from nearsightedness, this procedure can help you. It is quick and easy and completely successful.

By making these incisions, you are reshaping the cornea and the angle that you see images at. This is how nearsightedness is treated, not cured. You cannot fully cure vision impairments such as this, but you can treat them to the point where they are almost non-existent.

What should I take into consideration when looking for a lasik eye surgeon?

rswilson3 — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:36:45 +0000

If I want lasik surgery, how do I find the most reputable DR? Do insurance companies cover any of it? I’m trying to sort all this out, I’ve been considering it. I don’t want to pay too much, but I don’t want to pay to little at the expense of my eyes. What should I be looking for?

Best reply by idoc4u2:

Depending where you live a good surgeon costs about $3,000 and up depending on what your prescription is. I would ask how long they have been doing Laisk and how many procedures they have done, and how many they do weekly or monthly. Moist insurances do not cover lasik, they might pay a couple hundred dollars. The best way to find out if a surgeon is good at lasik is by word of mouth. A nationwide clinic like TLC is a good bet. I know they hire well qualified surgeons and do tons of lasik weekly.

Recovery From Lasik Eye Surgery

rswilson3 — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 04:54:34 +0000

The best thing about Lasik recovery is that it is incredibly short! If you are thinking about undergoing a Lasik laser eye surgery you will find that the recovery process is simple. Once you have decided and gone through your Lasik surgery you will find that you will be able to go back to work and on with your everyday life the very next day!

Following your Lasik surgery you will endure almost zero side effects. In fact, within a day or so after your surgery you can be back to your normal routine and not be forced to refrain from any of your work or leisure time activities.

Be sure you know, though, what type, if any, of after surgery eye care your surgeon will want you to perform. Usually, there is little to no after surgery care necessary. Every lasik surgeon has his or her own after care procedures, so make sure you know what your particular surgeon requires.

Too, occasionally, as with any surgery, you need to be aware that something could go wrong. You will want to be sure you fully understand the risks involved and get your surgeon to tell you about them in depth. You will also want to make arrangements just in case you should have to miss an extra few days of work if for any reason everything does not go smoothly with your surgery.

Truly, after your lasik surgery, you should have no discomfort or side effects—and you’ll be able to see without your glasses within a day or so as your eyes heal from the surgery. Results, though, are practically immediate and you’ll be happily amazed at the dramatic change. So don’t delay, make your appointment for lasik surgery as soon as possible and say good bye to your glasses!
