The Cost of 20/20 Vision
The cost of laser eye surgery is a hot topic right now. Anyone who has to wear glasses or contacts to see will naturally ask someone who recently has corrective eye surgery what the laser eye surgery cost them. It is impossible for an individual to get an idea what it would cost to have their vision corrected though as the prices of different procedures vary so greatly between eye clinics.
Not only does the cost of the same procedure vary, each person’s individual prescription determines the cost as well. Since there is no way for the average person to know which procedure they would require, getting prices can only provide a guide at best.
The best way to determine what the laser eye surgery cost will be is to have an initial consultation at an eye clinic. .First your eyes will be examined then possible treatment plans can be discussed. There usually is a fee for this consultation as it is quite thorough.
During the consultation you will given an indication of how much your actual treatment is going to cost. Be sure to ask if the laser eye surgery cost will cover just the surgery or will it cover any necessary follow-up visits. Despite what you see advertised, Lasik and Lasek laser surgery generally costs from around £2000 per eye. Is it worth it for 20/20 vision? You bet!
