How much does Lasik/ Laser vision correction cost?

I recently won a raffle for a free laser surgery, they are sending me a certificate for $1000. I'm pretty sure that it is going to cost more than that for both eyes. I know is is more expensive the worse your vision. I have -5.15 apx. in both eyes, no Astigmitism. Can anyone tell me how much it cost you? Please no, ''... I'd guess its about $xxx...'' and I'm not going to fly to India to have it done. Thanks in advance to all of you who help.

I know to research the place and check it out before I commit to anything. I've looked online for costs, but everything I find says I'd need a consultation. I have one scheduled with this place on July 12th, and I'd like to have an idea before going in. I just want a ball- park number from people who have had it done.

My PRK custom wavefront cost me $3400 after my vision discount. The other quotes I got in my area was $4200 and $3000. (and I totally hear ya on the India thing!!)

The standard LASIK ranged according to the technology used, but for the broad beam technology, the price was about $1000, flying spot was $1300 and the custom without any discounts was $1900.

Actually, the expense isn't necessarily how bad your correction is...for my surgeon, he charges by the technology used...and it's a flat rate per technology. And for the other two surgeons I looked into they had flat rates as well, but didn't have the different technologies available.

Some health insurance companies also have some type of "rewards" system that might help with a discount if the surgeon you go to will accept it (some companies will have a contract with that surgeon...not that it will be covered and paid for...just you'll get a discount if you have a certain insurance).

I'd say that the $1000 certificate is a great prize! judging on my research, the US average per eye was $1200-2100...which with your prize, you'll have at LEAST 1/3 paid for. congrats!
