Questions About Laser Eye Surgery Cost

Sharon asks…

How much does laser eye surgery cost in australia and is it safe?

admin answers:

Hey bud I'm also searching on the net about eye laser and i think its safe although i've seen some comments about the actual patients undergone this procedure which they don't immediately recover after the procedure which is not normal. I think u should go direct to the ophthalmologist to ask for any side effects. And search for the best hospital operated that kind of procedure. Ive read also that it cost about 2000 us dollars just convert it to ur currency. Or maybe depend on hospital bills added coz i think u will admitted for few days on hospital for observation then thers some mediications taken for i think about 6 months some antibiotics etc.
You should not also rub ur eyes after the operation and many precautions just ask a doctor if u really interested to have that procedure ok

Laser Eye Surgery cost? Does it work?

Have any of you had laser eye surgery before? Did it actually help?

I have troubles seeing things from a distance and have been wearing glasses for driving for years. I am getting a bit sick of it.

How much did it cost when you got laser surgery? Im from canada so prices probably differ from any US people, but i am still curious.

Thanks

Lasik eye surgery is rather safe if only you are a suitable candidate. As with any surgery, there is a definite risk incurred. You must be screened for suitability and examined by the doctor personally. Price range from RM 2,888 for both eyes to about RM 4 - 5,000 per eye.Don't let any saleman talk you into expensive package.

If you are a suitable candidate, the risk maybe :-
1.)Dry eyes (temporary)
2.)Regression/ enhancement
3.)Infection (3-5/20,000 for the next 3 weeks)
4.)Flap/ complication of treatment (rare)
5.)Miscellaneous

A suitable candidate for Lasik surgery, it depends on:-
1.)Your corneal thickness
2.)Your power
3.)Your age
4.)A centre with a doctor who is examining your eyes personally
5.)Torough explanation to suit your lifestyle

Always insist on seeing the doctor performing the surgery for you. It is the due deligent of him or her to present the risk and benefit to you in detail personally.
