There are slightly cheaper places but where she went is the best. In Australia once you get to a certain level (I don't know whether 20/50 is bad enough) you do get some back from Medicare and your private insurance. The operation itself took only minutes. Measuring up beforehand took about an hour and she had to go back the day after the surgery and then again later a few weeks later. None of it caused her any problems. Unlike the previous respondent she did not have cataracts removed and does not need glasses for anything. She did lash out on some fashionable sunglasses though! Where are you?

I can see like an Eagle! I should have had laser vision correction years ago! My consultation was free and no pressure.They explained the entire LASIK experience, before and after surgery, to me in detail. I had shopped around prior to going to Acuity. They were over $1800 less than the next closest priced laser vision center for two eyes! I have recommended 9 people to Acuity Laser Eye & Vision Center. They are all thrilled with their outcomes!

It really depends on your preference. The normal LASIK uses a blade to cut a "flap" in your cornea where another LASIK procedure is done by laser to cut the "flap". There is also laser procedures that can be done if your cornea is not thick enough to have LASIK and that is called PRK and still people may not be able to have this. The best thing to do is to schedule a free consultation with an eye doctor that does Laser Surgeries and find out if you are a candidate for them. Many people find out they aren't candidates for any laser surgeries anyways. Hope this helps!! There are many different kinds of LASIK. It really depends on your preference.

The tissue grows back VERY fast. The flap can be cut off and it'll grow back in like 2-3 days. If the flap comes off, you’ll have to heal PRK-style. The tissue grows back VERY fast.

But it depends on the method of surgery, the extensiveness of corrective work needed, and the doctor you use. Most places have financing available. I think it can help astigmatism, but I don't know about lazy eye. Consultations are usually free of charge so be sure to visit a few doctors to find the one that's best for you. These are your eyes, you don't want to bargain shop, and the price is worth it. Mine was about $2K per eye.

I don't expect those two agencies to cover such a breakthrough any time soon.

The most irritating part is when they apply the eye numbing drops. Of course you're scared during that. You don’t really feel much during the operation.
