Lasik surgery?
I was considering getting lasik surgery, i was wondering does anybody know the price? or does a medical card cover the expenses?
admin answers:
Some, but not many, insurance plans will cover LASIK. Mine did not and it cost me almost $5000. (blade-less)
It was well worth the cost. I see better now than I ever have in my life (even with glasses or contacts)
Check with a qualified surgeon to see if you are a good candidate for the surgery. Not eveyone is.

I cannot afford lasik surgery i have cdphp insurance i will be will to be tester!?
I am sick of paying for glasses that bend and break, screws falling out ex: I am tired of contacts falling out, changing , getting pink eye. expenses expenses. I just want a eye doctor willing to do the LASIK eye surgery for a very minimal price or payments. Economy sucks. Wallet is empty, please help
admin answers:
If you are that destitute, maybe postpone the Lasik; this is not something you want to cheap out on, you only get one set of eyes, if some cheap, fly-by-night operation messes them up, you are going to be stuck ! You also don't want to be the "guinea pig" for somebody that is expermenting or in training, (if that is what you are implying). Some places offer payment plans, but again, it sounds like you don't need any further expenses right now. In the mean time, you can order glasses quite cheaply (like $15-30 or so) on line at sites such as www.zennioptical.com, and others. OK, they might still bend/bust but, they are cheap enough that you can get some spare sets and still spend less than what one pair from a local shop would cost.

Ortho K vs. LASIK Surgery?
I've researched some ways to improve my eye sight. I found a thing called Ortho K, which is like a content lens that you wear at night and reshape your eye so you can see better throughout the day w/o wearing glasses. I'm thinking about getting these to help with my nearsightedness. I've got about -.75 in one eye and -3.something in the other. Do these actually work? Do they feel uncomfortable?
I've also thought about getting LASIK surgery. I'm only 16, so I might not get it until I'm a little older (if I decide to). If there is anyone who actually had a LASIK surgery please tell me how the results were. And what are the prices between LASIK and Ortho K?
Which do you think will be a better solution to me? I really don't want to wear my glasses and am looking for any cure to help my vision. Thanks, and any advice would be great!
admin answers:
Obviously you do not see well enough without correction, so you should have sight aids at the very least. Since you are not wanting to wear glasses, consider the soft style contact lenses, many people find them very comfortable, and use them exclusively. The Ortho K contacts that you describe are real, and do work, however, they do increase your intraocular pressure, and they are irritating to the eye, used with a small amount of topical anesthetic, they will help you see better, however the affect is short term, and you must keep wearing the lenses periodically. Lasix does work, and it is relatively safe, however, there are significant problems which can arise, and there have been cases of loss of vision. Many people also suffer from light disarray at night, and the correction of that requires, you guessed it, glasses...at your age, I would suggest you get an appointment with an optometrist or ophthalmologist who is sympathetic with your situation, and will take the time to explain to you the various ways your situation can be treated without the glasses you despise. Good luck.
Sandra asks…
What did you pay for your Lasik surgery?
I am considering having it done, and am wondering how much is the average price. I have no cataracts or other issues, just can't see far.
admin answers:
Hello – The cost of LASIK or PRK can vary from anywhere between $500 per eye to $2000 per eye, and there are multiple reasons for the large range in price. Typically, the cost for patients with high prescriptions, hyperopia (farsightedness) or astigmatism is slightly higher than those with low or moderate myopia (nearsightedness). Technology is also a determining factor in the cost of the procedure. At LASIK MD, we offer Standard and Custom LASIK or PRK. Advanced Custom Wavefront offers better quality outcomes for those patients with high prescriptions, thin corneas and larger-than-average pupils. Custom LASIK requires technology that is costlier, and is therefore offered at a higher price.
Hope that helps,

Did you know that LASIK surgery is really fast and easy?
I had LASIK surgery about 2 weeks ago and it is literally the best decision I have ever made for myself! I am super anxious about doctors and it wasn't a big deal. It didn't hurt at all! It took less time to have done than a teeth cleaning. I know it can be expensive. Mine was $2698 for both eyes but can you really put a price on not having to wear contacts or glasses? I really just want to get the word out that LASIK is easy and so worth it!!

Lasik and Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
