Lasik surgery?


I was considering getting lasik surgery, i was wondering does anybody know the price? or does a medical card cover the expenses?

Some, but not many, insurance plans will cover LASIK. Mine did not and it cost me almost $5000. (blade-less)

It was well worth the cost. I see better now than I ever have in my life (even with glasses or contacts)

Check with a qualified surgeon to see if you are a good candidate for the surgery. Not eveyone is.

Figure around 4-5k. Insurance does not usually cover the procedure.

Some places advertise deals for $400/eye, but that's for conditions without things like astigmatism. For custom intralase, about $5000-$6000. You may be able to negotiate a deal, since it is usually a cash business. Not likely that insurance pays for it.

I read abut Lasik surgery on the internet,
I think u should read it too; could be helpful to you

The price completely depends on the place that you go. When I had mine done, the price was $1950 per eye, but because of the insurance I had, they gave me a discount ($1800 per eye.) Not a huge savings, and insurance still didn't cover any part of it, but it was nice to get the small bit of savings! Generally, insurance will not cover Lasik, but you should check with your insurance carrier first.

LASIK prices differ widely from one provider to another and depend on many factors. The only universal standard is that LASIK and other refractive surgery prices are quoted per eye (as we do in this article).
Remember that one LASIK procedure equals only one eye even if both eyes are corrected on the same day. So the price quoted for a procedure doubles if you intend to have both eyes corrected. LASIK surgeons also might add extra charges for new technologies, including wavefront analysis for extra precise corrections (custom wavefront LASIK).
A leading industry analyst in 2007 said only 6.9% of conventional LASIK procedures cost less than $1,000 per eye. These procedures are performed with the less expensive options of bladed microkeratomes and conventional excimer lasers, not guided by wavefront analysis. Most customized wavefront procedures that also use laser-created flaps (IntraLase) cost from $1,000 to $2,500 per eye (see charts below)

LASIK prices, after rising for several years, seemed to stabilize in 2006 and 2007. Industry sources report that the average LASIK price in late 2006 was about $1,950. In 2007, LASIK and laser-based procedures charged at a single price (no extra charges added on for new technologies) cost an average $2,099 (see charts below).
There is a really good San Diego Lasik website that has lots of info and some very informative Lasik articles. See the links below:
