Average Cost of Lasik?
I’m looking to Get Lasik done in the next year…my vision is fairly decent … – .79 is my worst eye… anyone know what the average price should be around for Custom Lasik? I’m in the NE ohio region if that helps. The people I’ve spoken with have all had terrible vision so I’m wondering if it helps that mine is not.
Thanks!
Some national chains advertise Lasik Prices as low at $299 an eye, but a look at the financial reports of those same chains will find that the average Lasik Cost is about $1,350 per eye. The price of Lasik varies from about $1,400 to $2,900 per eye, depending on the surgeon and technology, according to St. Louis research firm Market Scope.

I work for a nonprofit Lasik patient advocacy organization. We do not provide Lasik, just Lasik Information and we certify Lasik Doctors‘ patient outcomes.
If your refractive error is – 0.79 then you may want to reconsider having Lasik. The most you can expect from Lasik is the convenience of a reduced need for corrective lenses. This is such a small refractive error that you probably function well without glasses and would not receive much benefit from a reduced need for corrective lenses, but you would be subject to all the risks of elective surgery.
If you are serious about vision correction surgery you should consider PRK, LASEK, or Epi-Lasik as alternatives to Lasik. Also, you may want to consider a NE Ohio Lasik doctor whose patient outcomes have been certified by our organization.
