LASIK cost

Steven Dell, MD answers: How much does LASIK surgery cost?

I have seen the bargain ads for Lasik, and I know those deals can be dangerous or misleading. I'm just wondering what the appropriate price range should be per eye, for a safe LASIK procedure?

Discount laser centers typically use older technology that is much less expensive. These places can also have less medical safety protocols and quality control. Just like with other surgeries, you get what you pay for with LASIK. They also have a tendency to advertise a price that only applies to miniscule prescriptions that no one really qualifies for.
