How much did you pay for Lasik eye surgery?
Also did you have an astigmatism that was properly corrected?
The reason I'm asking is that I just saw a web advert that claims a "starting price" of $299 / eye.
Answer: I would stay away from anyone that offers LASIK for $299 an eye. Two reasons: A. you don't want to end up looking like a pirate for the rest of your life, and B. uh, they're cutting your eye open for only $300. Something about that scares the crap out of me.
I had mine on Tuesday, January 2. I paid $3800 for Custom LASIK for both eyes. I had no circumstances (thin cornea, astigmatism, or extremely poor vision) that would increase the cost. I priced out three other local places in Omaha, and they wre $4000, $3200 and $3000. The latter two had blades to cut the flap, and I wanted no part of a blade.
Hope all that helps you make your decision. I would definitely check to see if your health insurance offers any kind of discount, or if you have a flex benefit plan at your work. I paid pre-tax dollars so that saved quite a bit. Best of luck on a clearer 2007!
