But, I had Lasik over a year ago. My advice would be to talk to everyone....talk to your family, friends and co-workers. Then ask your family, friends and co-workers to talk to their family, friends and co-workers....you get the idea. I found my surgeon by word of mouth. I asked everyone I know if they had Lasiks (or knew anyone who had Lasiks), and what doctor they went to. Almost everyone I talked to in my area went to the surgeon I ended up going to, and everyone was perfectly satisfied. I went into the procedure very confident! Good luck to you!

I would ask how long they have been doing Laisk and how many procedures they have done, and how many they do weekly or monthly. Moist insurances do not cover lasik, they might pay a couple hundred dollars. The best way to find out if a surgeon is good at lasik is by word of mouth. A nationwide clinic like TLC is a good bet. I know they hire well qualified surgeons and do tons of lasik weekly. Depending where you live a good surgeon costs about $3,000 and up depending on what your prescription is.

Are you willing to take this kind of risk to save a few dollars? These are your eyes, don't cheap out on your vision. It's one thing if you buy a cheap LCD TV and the pixels go bad - you can take it back and exchange it for a new one. But if you have a bad outcome with eye surgery you're stuck with that for life.

Ask around if you know people who have had the procedure done. The costs are typically around $2000 per eye. Talk to your regular eye doctor to refer a skilled physician in your area.
