What is the average cost of lasik or prk for your eyes?Mariella
I want to have mine done and I went to a eye doctor today just to kinda check it out and all went well and they set up a plan for me to make payments and stuff but I was wondering if they are reasonable in the cost to do the procedure. Anyone have any idea as to the cost of this? Thanks.

Hi, my name is Dr. Jay Lustbader, and I am an ophthalmologist with LasikPlus. You will find that the cost of Lasik or PRK will vary from provider to provider. When comparing prices, there are several important factors to keep in mind. One is what technology you are getting for the price. Some surgeons offer all-laser Lasik, while others are still using a blade. Some surgeons offer custom wavefront treatments, others do not. You want to be sure you are getting the most up-to-date technology for the price you pay. A second consideration is whether the price includes coverage for enhancements, if an additional touch-up is needed in the future. Finally, in addition to price, you should consider the experience of the surgeon and the quality of the staff when deciding where to have the procedure done.The best way to investigate these issues and to find out if Lasik is right for you is to have a thorough exam and consultation with a doctor. At LasikPlus, we provide a free comprehensive Lasik exam and consultation using the latest technology. For additional information or to set up a free consultative exam with your local LasikPlus doctor, you may call 1-866-953-0282 or visit us on the web at http://tinyurl.com/Dr-Lustbader.

Most of the places I am familiar with cost around $1500 to $2000 per eye. You can have a wavelength scan done, which will get you better results, for about $500 more.
