The cost of Lasik surgery varies greatly and is influenced by a number of factors.
Contributing
factors to the cost of the surgery include, the type of laser technology you choose, the type of
surgical instrument used to create the corneal flap, whether pre-op and post-op exams are
covered in the fees, whether post-op medications are covered in the fees, the skill and experience
of the ophthalmologist, and the location the surgery is being done.

basis, so when both eyes need correcting, the cost is doubled.

The
highest priced option is the wave front-guided LASIK which uses a femtosecond laser to create
the flap and an excimer laser to reshape the cornea.
This technology has the potential to produce
sharper vision because it automatically identifies vision errors with a computer-generated map by
the way the light travels through the ey
