One of the latest Lasik surgeries includes Epi-LASIK. It is a refractive techniqueof treating the eye.

    About £500-1200 per eye? Depending on how you want it done?

    I would not go for surgery at the moment… its very dodgy.

    basicaly some guy is going to zap your eyes with laser beams! They will burn out flaps in your eyes, or even use a knife to cut it.

    And it is not guranteed to fix vision PLUS causes other problems.

    Problems may outweigh the benefits e.g. v. dry eyes, worse night vision, severe prolonged headaches, bursts of vision loss (i.e. going blind for 2-5 seconds!!), redness of eyes, irritation, double vision…. very blurry vision, and worst, severe eye-infection that will lead to 100% blindness.

    Overall, wait, not worth the risks unless you REALLY need them.

    Some jobs e.g. army prohibit eye surgery for these very reasons, they may cause DAMAGE that can NEVER be repaired.

    Nothing else in our society is getting cheaper these days and as you know, the cost of living (and doctor's expenses– staff, cost of laser, maintenance fee for the laser, royalty for the laser manufacturer every time the laser is used, rent will not be coming down anytime soon). I would not trust my eyes to a bargain basement dr. who flies in from out of town, does dozens of surgeries and then comes back in weeks. You need an established surgeon who isn't going to move out of town next month. Remember, LASIK is surgery. Not blood and guts surgery. But still surgery.

    I paid $2500 for the Custom Lasik.

    I found "real" prices ranging from $1800-4000. I based my desision on the facility that I felt comfortable with, the place I choose even gave me names and phone numbers of previous client to call for referances.

    If you in Metro Detroit let me know I'll pass along the name.

    Usually private doctors/centers will charge a higher rate than say a large corporation. Some places will offer a package deal where others may have a separate fee for preop, post op, surgery and other things such as punctal plugs and what not. Usually the biggest difference in cost is technology. Intralase ( blade less is more expensive, it has benefits such as taking away less corneal tissue and reduces risks associated with creating the flap ( thus, no blade) There have been studies that say intralase can cause photophobia, ( extreme sensitivity to light) I have worked for a laser center that uses intralase 98% of the time and I have never heard off a complaint like that other than the usual sensitivity that is normal while healing from the entire procedure. I personally had the keratome ( bladed) used for my eyes and didn't have a problem ( only because at the time that was my only option) if intralase was available at the center I went to I probably would have went with that.

    Hope I helped

    As an elective procedure, I'm not sure that any regular insurance covers lazik surgery. You may have to opt for a 'flexible spending" health plan that you can pay into (pretax) and can use for any surgery, elective or not.

    looks like you may have to do additional research on the sites listed at the web page below

    Price depends on
    *experience of the surgeon
    *type of technology used (laser)
    *method of flap creation (blade vs. intralase)
    and at some places,
    *prescription

    At the center I work at, fees start at $860/eye to $2900/eye..all dependent on the things mentioned above.

    You would still need to have a consultation at any center so other measurements can be taken to determine safest surgery for you.
