Lasik Pros And Cons
Friday, April 29th, 2011You have to be 18 to get the surgery, right? I’m only 17 but I am truly blind without my contacts or glasses and I hate this feeling. I have been living like this all my life. Is the surgery safe for anyone and everyone? What are the pros and cons? I am really hoping to get this done next summer and am saving money. How much is it normally? I heard prices went down.
It is not just your chronological age that matters, it is your eyes’ stability. You need to have a stable eye prescription for at least two years.
Lasik is not for everyone. It is medically safe and effective, however all surgery has risks. You may find the preliminary results of the USAEyes CORE patient survey interesting:

There are many pros and cons, but you really won’t know what applies to you until you have had a comprehensive examination from a competent eye doctor.
Prices range from about $299 to $2500 per eye, but the national average is about $1,750 per eye. The cost may depend upon your exact needs. Financing is commonly available.
