How much does laser eye surgery cost?

Laser eye surgery costs can vary greatly from one surgeon to another. Some of this is based upon the technology used. Older, less sophisticated lasers might be less expensive. Some surgeons offer a more personalized approach while others run a high volume clinic. The important thing to remember is that laser eye surgery affects one of the most important things in your life, your vision. You’d never look for discount brain or heart surgery. Don’t skimp on your vision.

Generally you get what you pay for with LASIK surgery, and you can expect to spend anywhere from $4500 to $6000 for a reputable surgeon using the latest technology.
