Cost FAQs

Why does the price of Lasik vary so much?

The price for Lasik varies because of a few individual factors. Lower prices can often be an insight to lower quality work. This is not always the case, but it is also a good indication. Lower prices for corrective eye surgery may also be due to the location and the taxes associated with different products. If you are considering Lasik, I suggest that you conduct research through the Internet and books as well as through friends and family; do not base the decision of choosing a surgeon on cost alone.

How can I know if I am a candidate for Lasik eye surgery?

If you are seriously considering Lasik surgery then you should visit a professional for a diagnosis; however, there are a few key points to consider before going under the laser. Lasik is expensive, you need to be 18 or older, and you need to have healthy eyes free from damage and disease. Conducting independent research is essential when considering Lasik. Through your research, develop questions and then schedule an appointment with a physician to figure out if you are indeed a candidate, as the doctor has the final say.

What is the difference between laser and Lasik surgery?

During Lasik a small incision is made and a thin flap of the outer eye is created, a laser is used next to reshape the cornea, and the flap is then replaced and secured. Laser surgery is a broad term that is used to describe different procedures; Lasik surgery is a form of laser surgery. Lasik is a procedure that is completed in under a half hour and requires less healing time than other forms of laser treatment. If you are considering corrective eye surgery and have questions pertaining to the procedure, schedule an appointment with a trained physician.
