How much does lasik surgery cost if you dont have insurance? i live in the tri state area?Pearline
This varies a lot depending on the surgeon who does the procedure. I had LASIK done about 5 months ago and I got quotes that ranged from $2, 400 to $4, 700. I've heard others pay even more. All of my quotes were for Custom, which in my opinion is the way to go. You also have to find out exactly what's covered in their fee. Some offer different guarantees or warranties if your eyes change over time. Some include all of your drops and pre/post op care. In the end I spent $2, 700 on the procedure which included the lifetime warranty and post op drops. I'm an optician and the optometrist I work for did all of my pre and post op exams for free and the ophthalmologist threw in punctal plugs to help with dryness as a freebie just because. I also spent another $30 or so on over the counter lubricating drops. I did a lot of research about the procedure before I had it done and basically interviewed doctors until I found one I was happy with. He wasn't the cheapest but I felt so much more comfortable with him and his staff and he had a such great track record and reputation that it was an easy choice. My eyes were worse than 20/400 before the surgery but a week after I was 20/15.

It varies by how bad your sight is. My son's eyes were not very bad and he had it done for $750.00, but when I checked into it my eyes are real bad and it was $2500.00 and they said I would probably have to have it done more than once.
