has anyone had lasik surgery and how much did it cost?

Answer:
Wow, I don't know where you guys are getting your quotes at or where you live, but...

I just had mine done January 2, 2007, in Omaha, Nebraska. The cost was $4200 for Custom LASIK, no blades. Standard no blade LASIK was $3600. I received a 10% discount on the Custom, so my net cost was about $3800.

I'd priced out 3 other places in Omaha prior to booking where I went. Those prices were $4000 (Custom, no blade), $3200 (no Custom blade for flap removal), and $3000 (no Custom, blade for flap removal).

If you are planning on doing it, I would definitely check to see if any health plans at your employer offer discounts or anything. Also, if you have a flex benefits program, set that money aside in that account so you can pay with tax-free dollars.

Hope that helps. It ain't cheap, but it's worth it. And I would stay away from anyone that says $250 per eye. You don't want to end up looking like a pirate.

My two eldest sisters had the procedure done and one of them told me that it was about $1,000 an eye. I think it all depends on the doctor who probably sets their own prices.

My mother had it done to her eyes. I think it cost like $2400, but that was a couple years ago, so by now it's probably a lot less. My mother's employer actually paid for a good portion of that, I think half, so that would be something to look into.

I haven't yet, but here in eastern ohio there is a dr who charges $250 per eye. I really think it depends on your dr %26 the area where you live.

It's in the general area of $1,000 per eye. Just make sure you research your doctor and keep in mind that (depending on your age),you may still end up having to wear 'reading glasses' at some point.

It usually runs about $1,000 dollars for both eyes all together but I know a few doctors that do a lifetime "fix for around $2,000, so either way you can see better, and for double the price, you can be guaranteed, permanant/consistant visual gratification right? oh, you should search around and try to get the best doctor rather than the best deal. right?
