How much does LASIK eye surgery cost?

Answer:
The cost of LASIK eye surgery differs widely

from one provider to another and depends on a number of factors; the only standard feature seems to be that it’s quoted on a “per eye” basis.

The cost of the surgery has fallen over the years as the procedure has become more common; however, the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that people don’t base their choice of surgeon on his or her LASIK surgery pricing list, but on the doctor’s level of experience.

Most insurance plans don’t cover LASIK eye surgery but many doctors offer financial assistance to help cover the costs of the surgery. Anyone considering surgery can expect to pay between $499 and $2500 for each eye.
