LASIK COST - Costs Of LASIK Eye Surgery

Not that you know what to look for, let's find out what you really need to know about the costs LASIK surgery of.

Here are some considerations when reviewing LASIK costs:

* Be clear if working with a company advertising a price that the price reflects your prescription and your individual procedure/needs. Some lasik discounts only apply to people who need minimal vision correction. If you fall outside the range defined by the deal, you may be unpleasantly surprised when you receive your bill.

* Make sure your costs include the cost of follow up visits. You don't want to have to pay extra for visits occurring after your procedure. You should also consider asking the center what their policy is about you calling and coming in if you feel you are experiencing complications after surgery. Provisions for this should be included in their literature.

* Check to see whether the price quoted you includes providing enhancements within the first year of surgery. Many enhancements are performed within this time frame. If possible, make sure you avoid additional fees associated with enhancements. Typically you can negotiate this as part of the actual fee you pay up front. Most competent surgeons make this very clear.

* Find out how much the LASIK surgeon charges PER EYE. Some people mistakenly believe they are billed $2500 total for both eyes, when the fee is actually $2,500 for EACH eye.

* If you feel your vision problems inhibit you from participating in daily life, then you may want to find out if you can encourage your health insurance company to pitch in for part of the cost of surgery. While many insurance companies do not contribute to procedures like LASIK, an equal number do, or at the very least offer some coverage.
