laser eye surgery and cost

if i got laser eye surgery what would be the percent that they will mess up and how much dose it cost?

when im older i might get it.

With LASIK, as with most things in life, you will generally get what you pay for: the more experienced surgeons with the more advanced technology will charge more for LASIK. Here in California you should be able to find an excellent surgeon whose fees would range from $2,500-$3,500 per eye (depending on the technology used – femtosecond laser, wavefront, etc.).

As for the risks, that is somewhat dependent upon the technology used and the experience of the surgeon. Probably the most important decision someone who is considering lasik must make is what surgeon to choose. Although I do not perform LASIK, I have created a document for my cataract patients to help them in choosing a surgeon. The article can be viewed by clicking this link:

The advice in this document can be applied to choosing any surgeon in any specialty, not just cataract surgeons.
