Lasik Eye Surgery Prices?
How do doctors determine what Lasik Surgery costs? I just went to TLC Vision for a consult yesterday and they gave me the prices before my consultation (while I was in the waiting room out front). So why can’t I receive quotes from other Lasik surgeons without going through a consultation. This is just a standard procedure. Cost is $1,895 with Tricare Prime discount. for the Platinum package with is Bladeless Lasik. How do I know they aren’t charging me more than the last patient for the same procedure? Does anyone work for a Lasik Surgeon and know how the pricing system works?
And that is $1,895 per eye.
Average LASIK Costs
A report commissioned by AllAboutVision.com from a leading industry analyst in 2008 listed average LASIK costs as:
* $2,105 for all laser-based vision correction procedures in which a single price is quoted.
* $1,662 for non-customized LASIK using a bladed instrument (microkeratome) and excimer lasers that are not guided by wavefront analysis.
* $2,341 for wavefront-guided LASIK using IntraLase.
Note that there can be wide variation in what an advertised price will include. Beware of advertising that, for example, promises "LASIK from $499 per eye." Look for the fine print. Typically, only a few select people are actually eligible for LASIK at prices that sound unusually low, because most eyes require more extensive correction or more follow-up after the surgery.
This is video of my left eye getting laser surgery. I got both done just hours ago and I am already very pleased with the out come.
