Lisa asks…
how much does lasik for astigmatism cost?
admin answers:
Astigmatism is a contra indication for lasik--what that would mean is that if you have astigmatism--you should never get lasik done-your vision will be totally ruined .if any doctor suggests you lasik-he is a quack
Thomas asks…
Have you had lasik eye surgery? If so how much did it cost? i have astigmatism in both eyes and im curious?
admin answers:
25% savings is not worth not being able to have your required checkups and a guarantee!!!
I had my lasik in December and I am very happy with it. I also went to a local place that had the best reputation and the most up to date laser. (Allegretto) I had a double astigmatism in one eye and regular astigmatism in the other. Both of my eyes are doing great and it was worth every penny. I think Lasik is MOST beneficial for people with astigmatism because contacts are so difficult when you have that! I paid $2000 per eye. They offer a lifetime guarantee that if my vision ever goes below 20/40 I get an adjustment and if my vision wasn't at least 20/25, I would have gotten a refund.

Lasik surgery runs about $1000-$2000 per eye (at least, in my area).
Mandy asks…
People who have had lasik eye surgery done, should I have it done?
I have a terrible astigmatism and can't even see someones face clearly from a distance of more than a foot away without glasses. I just want to be able to see well all the time. When I play sports, I want to not have to wipe fog off my glasses between plays. Is eye surgery safe? and what did it cost you for it?
In general, I'm asking for other people's experiences and if they would recommend it.
admin answers:
I've known a few people who have had it & they have all been very pleased. My concern would be paying to have it done & then having my eyes get bad again in the future. I used to know someone who had it done & she told me that the place she had it done at guarantees it, as long as she comes there like once a year for a check-up. However, IDK if that is standard, or if that is just something that place does (I don't remember where she went).
Here's some info.:

Make sure you don't go to a fly-by-night LASIK doctor:

Fortunately, 1 of the top rated Lasik Eye Doctors (Dr. Ming Wang) in the country is pretty close to me (Nashville, TN):

George asks…
LASIK advice?
I have been doing some research on LASIK, and I wanted to get some personal perspectives from those who have had the surgery. Anything and everything you can think of to offer would be greatly appreciated! I am nearsighted with a slight astigmatism in my left eye. I wear soft contacts and glasses and am very interested in LASIK as a cost alternative. Thanks in advance!

I, too, find that the patient horror stories are the best motivation. And so, I offer you the severe and never-ending pain that can be the rest of your life. A small risk, but a risk taken.
