laser eye surgery quote

how much would laser eye surgery cost?

I know companies quote from £395 per eye, but before having a consultation I would like to know roughly how much it would cost if prescription is -0.75 in each eye? I think this is quite mild and would hope it would be on the lower end of the scale, but would like to know if anyone has had the procedure and can tell me?

Yes it is on the lower end of the scale and you’d better make sure that your LASIK surgeon is qualified and hasn’t just taken some course and joined one of those Lasik clinics that just churn out multi surgeries. Here in the States prices also run the gamet from $375 to $2500 an eye. Sorry. I don’t know the conversion rate. Most of the time, when you get to $375 Lasik clinic you will find that it involves much higher costs and the quoted low price is just a come-on..

Refractive Vision Correction surgery or LASIK can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. No one should have this surgery until they are absolutely sure their vision has stabilized, usually in your early to mid twenties, give or take several years. If you have the surgery prior to total vision stabilization, you will have to have the surgery repeated. LASIK is surgery and has many of the inherent risks of any surgery. It has been a dream to some and a nightmare that you will never wake from for others. LASIK is irreversible. Prior to committing to this surgery, you must do your homework and be willing incur the risks and side effects associated with this surgery. LASIK is considered cosmetic surgery and is seldom covered by health insurance and can be quite expensive.

Anyone contemplating LASIK surgery must research the procedure thoroughly and ask lots of questions of your surgeon. You must check out your ophthalmic surgeon thoroughly, ensure that you are a good candidate and check out all the possible side effects. Although LASIK has helped many people, it has also been very detrimental to others even causing permanent blindness.
