What Does the LASIK Price Include?

If you are thinking of having LASIK in order to correct the refractive problems in your eyes, it is expected that you will be concerned about the charges of the procedure and also the details of what will be included in the charge. Like most procedures, there are different types of LASIK packages, and what you buy within that package is expect ed to vary according to the price you pay for it. However, for a LASIK package which usually costs around $2,000 per eye, the following things are expected to be included:

The laser: $2000 per eye LASIK package should include the Custom Bladeless LASIK; which is the most advanced LASIK surgery technique with excellent results. The process uses Wavefront Analyzers in order to customize the standard LASIK procedure according to your unique corneal features. The process is performed with the help of a femtosecond laser. Some less expensive LASIK packages, microkeratome blades are used in order to create the corneal flap.

Post- operative care: The LASIK package should include the post- operative care. Your package should entitle you to visit the surgeon or regular eye doctor for at least a year free of cost. The number of appointments might vary according to your specific plan and the post- operative condition of your eyes. If your package does not include post-operative care, and you have to pay extra for every subsequent visit, then you should pay less for the actual surgery.

Enhancements: In some cases, eyes may change over time and the LASIK might need to be enhanced for the best results. These enhancements should be factored into your LASIK surgery charges, as it is usually expected that you should not have pay over and over for the same procedure.

The charges of the surgeon and the cost of the facilities offered at the eye care center where the surgery is performed should also be included in the price.
