subject: Introduction On Lasik Eye Surgery Cost [print this page] If you want to take LASIK eye surgery, one the the important concern is the surgery cost as it does not mean a small amount of money for most of us. If you ask me how much the LASIK eye surgery is. I am sorry I can not tell you because there is not fixed price for it. Actually there are many factors that can determine the LASIK eye surgery cost.
First, let us talk about what kind of factors can influence the surgery cost. First, as we know, surgeons play an important role in LASIK eye surgery. So the qualification, experience and reputation of the surgeons will have some effect on the surgery cost. Second, the geographical location can also influence the surgery cost. You can imagine the LASIK surgery cost in famous Beverly Hills will be surely higher than that in Pennsylvania. And generally speaking, in different counties, the cost is also different. For example, the cost in Mexico is much cheaper than in USA. Third, the facility and technology used in the surgery can also determine the cost will be high or low. Especially for some patients who have serious eye problems, traditional LASIK can not treat, so they have to resort to more advanced technology. And in this way, the cost will be higher.
If you still want to know the average LASIK surgery cost, I can tell you it is about USD2000 per eye. If we want to have a good LASIK eye surgery but at a lower price, we should pay attention to the following points:
First, make sure your eye doctor quote all he costs concerning the LASIK eye surgery, not only includes the surgery cost, but also includes follow-up treatment and post-opmedication if needed. It is a common mistake that we are happy to receive a lower quotation but the quotation does not include all points.
Second, we can not forget to ask if there is any discount. As we know, in LASIK surgery field, the competition is also fierce. So some surgeons will provide some discounts for their surgery, and you can find this information on some newspaper. It is better to ask the surgeon if there is discount at your appointment.
Third, choosing to take LASIK eye surgery at a cheaper place is also a good choice. Just as what we mentioned before, the surgery cost in some famous place is higher, and you can choose to another place which can offer good LASIK surgery service but at lower price. So in this way, we can not only save some money, but also can have chance to enjoy our vacation.
