Laser Eye Surgery Costs

Author : Tim Gorman

It may seem at first to be a difficult task to assess the differences when you compare the cost of laser eye surgery procedure from one eye surgeon to the other. Still, you can break down the probable costs by assigning the costs to several categories.

The cost of laser eye surgery can for example, be broken down into the following: the type of surgical procedure you are planning, the skills and experience of the doctor, the clinic, and equipment they’ll be using on you.

In finding out the costs of laser eye surgery, three procedures come to mind. PRK (Photo Refractive Keratectomy), LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy), are the three most sought-after elective surgical procedures in the medical world today. All three use the laser, but LASIK and LASEK use the flap procedure, where in the laser cuts a flap in the corneas to reshape it. The older procedure, PRK, utilizes the laser to cut very tiny bits of tissue from the surface of the cornea in re-shaping it. While these procedures and the recommendations for their use vary, a reputable clinic would charge you $1,000.00 – $6,000.00 per eye, for any of these procedures.

When inquiring about the costs of laser eye surgery, ask to be certain if the following are included in this eye procedure.

1.Is there an initial consultation fee?

2.Does the fee include all pre-operative and post-operative visits?

3.Is this quoted fee, the entire fee? Or are there additional fees I need to know?

4.Can we spread over the payment over a period? If so, how much would my total payment be and what are these terms? What is the interest rate?

5.Are the quoted fees for both eyes? Or does it depend on the acuity of each eye?

6.Is the enhancement procedure included in the fee? If it is, what are the conditions for this?

Other factors that may not be stated but come with the service fees are the following:
1.The prestige and reputation of the clinic. This refers to the level of service, quality and safety of the clinic. Practices will set their rates, on the services they offer.
2.The skills and the expertise of the eye surgeon, how long he or she has been doing these operations, are factored into it.

The most important consideration when you compare the costs of laser eye surgery isn’t financial. It’s that you have confidence in the eye surgeon who will open on your eyes.
