How much does LASIK cost?

LASIK surgery can vary depending on your geographic location, the experience of the LASIK surgeon, the LASIK technology you will use for the procedure, and the refractive error of your eyesight. LASIK eye surgery ranges from $500 - $2500 per eye.  You should not base your LASIK procedure solely on price.  A less experienced LASIK surgeon may charge a lower per eye LASIK charge.

Other factors that can lead to a higher LASIK price are the geographic region of the LASIK surgeon.  In larger cities, for example, LASIK patients may encounter a higher LASIK price due to higher practice costs and the need to employ the latest technology to compete in their area.  The cost of LASIK may also include royalties the LASIK surgeon owes to the laser manufacturer, the cost of the surgical equipment, office staff salaries, advertising fees, post operative evaluations, and even pre-operative medications. It is important for patients to inquire about what is included in their LASIK procedure prior to electing to undergo LASIK vision correction.
