Typical Prices Of Lasik Surgery

Until now, there are available some statistics about the cost of LASIK surgery

. In general, LASIK price averages $1,950 at total per eye. In detail, a basic and non-customized LASIK procedure using a microkeratome blade and excimer laser will charge a price ranging from $1,500 to $1,600 also on a per-eye basis. A typical LASIK taking use of an advanced laser and wavefront technology may cost $2,340, and the price for the most advanced LASIK procedure can be up to $3,600. It is undeniable that the average price of LASIK surgery is on the rise due to the popular usage of recent technologies, such as lasers, corneal mapping technology, wavefront as well as other surgical tools. However, the risk of potential complications postoperatively has also been significantly reduced by those advanced technologies.

In general, LASIK price is much higher than that before 2005. But one point has remained unchanged that the price receives contributions from many factors. Taking a simple example, a LASIK surgery can be done at a national chain, private office or major university medical center. In most cases, the average price of a LASIK procedure performed at the national chains will be lower than a same procedure conducted in a private office or major university medical center. This is not universally true that some advertisements such as bargain prices and packages should not be easily trusted. A promoted LASIK with an extremely low price is usually associated with an inexperienced surgeon or substandard equipment. In some cases, hidden costs and fees have not been included and will be charged postoperatively.

It is necessary for patients to make sure that some basic items should have been contained in the claimed price. They include any follow-up exams after the surgery, potential treatments for any complications arising during or after the surgery, possible prescription antibiotics and medications for use after the procedure as well as any other postoperative services.
