How much does laser eye surgery cost and how risky is it?
I've been thinking about getting my vision corrected with laser. Does anyone know about how much it would cost and how risky it would be? I currently have no medical conditions with my eyes except that I can't see anything beyond a foot of me- mine cost about 4K because of the type of procedure i needed PRK vs Lasik, Lasik is cheaper. but like someone else said - they are your eyes, you do not want something like that to be cheap. as for risky - depends on the person, same goes for how long it lasts or regresses most everyones eyes change in their 40's and FYI there are no known cases of legal blindness. do lots of research before you get it done on both the procedure and the surgeon preforming it. good luck if you decide to do it!
- Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America. Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, 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 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. forerunnershealthcare.com Hope this helps
- Its costly around £300 per eye and after 10 years there is a chance of blindness
- My brother had it done, cost him 4k, which I thought was REALLY expensive. On the other hand, I guess the words "cheap" and "my vision" really do not belong in the same sentence eh? He loves it, though his took about a week to clear up. At first he thought it did not work. I'd be REAL intense about checking out the dr I was thinking of using, want a lot of patient referrals, etc. Def not something I'd let some newbie do!
- The price is coming down. I had it done in 1999 and it was around $5. 5K. Don't listen to people telling you not to do it. The procedure was virtually painless and the newer methods are better than the one I had. I could see crystal clear, maybe 4 hours after surgery. Took a nap, woke up and could read my alarm clock across the room. I had worn gl es / contacts since 5th grade. My eyesight is still excellent
- do not do it it's really expensive and a waste of money. Your eye gets damaged and they heal so in about 1 or 2 years your eyes will be back to normal. Sometimes people can be blinded with laser eye surgery my friend got blinded with it and she is really upset about it. She went outside after it and she could see perfectly but after 1 month she went to the hospital because her eyes were hurting and she could not see very well. The doctor told her she was blind and I had to comfort her because she was so upset about not getting to see her little girl grow up. :'
- It's expensive. But, they offer payment plans. I was thinking of doing it, but decided against for one reason. No one knows the long terms effect of the procedure. It's so new that no one can say "I had it done 20 years ago, and I am okay. " You do not know what will happen with your eyes in the long term
- Usually a couple grand depending on the exact procedure. It is not very risky at all. definitely less risky than getting into an automobile these days
- its around 3 thousand dollars and is relatively safe. However, my father has had the surgery 3 times and relapsed each time. Your eyes may not accept the surgery which would cause you to either have it again or back to corrective wear
