Is LASIK price per eye or both eyes? +
Reputable clinics quote per-eye pricing; total cost is per-eye price times two. Be cautious of low advertised prices that may apply only to very low prescriptions with basic technology. A typical full LASIK consultation should disclose total cost upfront.
What is included in LASIK pricing? +
Most major LASIK clinics include consultation, the procedure on both eyes, post-op medications, follow-up care for 1 year, and a lifetime enhancement guarantee. Confirm in writing what is included before comparing prices. Premium technology upgrades (wavefront, topography-guided, all-laser) are often add-ons.
Why do LASIK ads show $250 per eye? +
Advertised low prices apply only to very low prescriptions (under -1.50 D) with no astigmatism using basic conventional LASIK technology. Real-world pricing for most patients runs $2,000 to $3,000 per eye after appropriate technology upgrades for their prescription.
How long does LASIK last? +
For most patients, the corneal reshaping from LASIK is permanent. However, age-related vision changes (presbyopia after age 40, cataracts later in life) still occur and may require reading glasses or future intervention. Approximately 5 to 10 percent of patients need an enhancement procedure within 5 years.
Am I a candidate for LASIK? +
Candidates are typically adults 18+ with stable prescription for 12+ months, healthy corneas of adequate thickness, no active eye disease, no severe dry eye, no pregnancy or nursing, and refractive errors within FDA-approved correction range. A consultation with corneal topography is required to confirm candidacy.
