    Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

    Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

    Thanks to Dr. Bashour and all of the super friendly and caring LASIK MD staff for my incredible, beautiful, crisp new vision that I only got yesterday. It was a fast, painless, unbelievable procedure and I cannot thank you enough. I’ll certainly be recommending LASIK MD to anyone interested in laser vision correction.

    i had lasik dec 07 at the Lasik Vision Institute in columbus ohio, usa it was 1500 per eye and i have 20/20 vision i had an excellent experience best investment i ever made.. call a center and go in for a free consultation they will let u know if you are a good candidate for lasik and how much it will cost.. every person is different it depends on the amount of correction that is needed

    Dude do you really want to shop for bargain eye surgery? Personally I'd find the best Dr. in town and pay his price.

  7. SAUCER_99 on July 15th, 2009 12:43 pm

    well in usa im sure its much cheeper. but price shouldnt matter but your eyes! haha thanks!

    I've heard this too. Remember the cheaper is not necessarily better, especially when it comes to something as important as your eyesight.

    I saw deals in my local area for $500 per eye, but I went to TLC Vision to get it done and it was about $4600.
