What did you pay for your custom lasik where when and why and are you satisfied? thanks?Adelle
We are looking for actual LASIK patients to share what they paid, since the web is choked with industry-provided propaganda to suppress comparative shopping. If you've had LASIK, please contribute some helpful info. If you haven't had LASIK, or are considering LASIK; ask a friend who has, and please contribute. If you just want to say prices may vary depending on the particular patient, the services provided, the equipment being used, the experience of the provider, etc... yes, we are aware of that, so don't bother wasting everybody's time... we are looking for prices actual patients have paid, what services they got and if they are satisfied... or not.Thank You!

I just had Custom LASIK on January 2nd, in Omaha, Nebraska. Up to that point, I had been wearing Night & Day contacts (30 day wear, don't remove daily). Although my vision wasn't terrible (20/200) it seemed to be deteriorating. In addition, the contacts became increasingly uncomfortable to wear. I ended up doing it because although my vision with contacts was decent, the discomfort was getting to me. In addition, I like to golf, and it seemed that I would have a really tough time on windy days. The cost for "Custom" LASIK at the highly recommended location here was $4200. I believe it was $3600 for LASIK (all laser, no blade), and $300 per eye for custom. I received a 10% discount because of my employer, so my net cost was just under $3800. I have to admit, I felt some considerable pain in my right eye during the surgery. I didn't anticipate that, almost every person I'd spoken with only described some "pressure", but this was actual pain. Outside of that, the operation it self was relatively stress-free. I'm a horrible person when it comes to my eyes, and if I could get through it, I think most people wouldn't have a problem with it. Just FYI though, if they offer you a choice of 5mg or 10mg of Valium, TAKE THE 10. All said, my eyes are sore and dry but my vision is getting better daily. Having to use eye drops all the time hasn't been the nuisance I thought it would be. I see considerable halos around every bright light right now, but I'm told that within a month, the blurriness and halo effect will pretty much disappear. I'm glad I did it now, but I'm very anxious to see the end results. Hope that info helps.EDIT: One more note - I had no conditions with my eyes, good cornea, etc etc etc. Just plain old custom lasik.
