Medical advancements have been successful thanks to technology. One of the current most popular procedures is lasek eye surgery. It is no longer necessary for people to be stuck with glasses or contact lenses, and they can actually experience the freedom of good eyesight. Lasik prices are still not cheap though they have decreased slightly in the last few years. Prices do vary so research is recommended, and all prices are per eye. Some people opt for or need only one eye done, but for those who do both, expect to double the cost. Clinics with higher costs are usually because they don’t use a scalpel at all or they have sophisticated technology. Although these days many doctors will charge a set price per eye without adding the cost of the extras.

In general the cost of lasik will come to about $1500-$2200 per eye. Although sales like $499 per eye do exist, read the fine print before signing anything. It is likely that you will need to go back for additional check-ups and treatments, and that will cost extra. In 2008, many doctors did charge under $1000 an eye, but recent reports conclude that few doctors will do the surgery for that little in 2009. Really beware of the bargain surgeries and make sure you ask a lot of questions and do a lot of research before going with one of them. Since it is too expensive for a lot of people to get lasik surgery in the financial situation we are in, good doctors with quality procedures may start dropping their prices.
