3 What about the cost of Lasik surgery?

• Your doctor's experience (more is good!).
• The area in which you live (the West Coast is most expensive).
• The severity of your vision problems.
• The technology employed.

All these will affect the final price.   Remember that the cost quoted is per eye!

4 What is included in the cost quoted in response to the previous question?
Make sure you get the full costs, and nothing is hidden.   While most Lasik doctors will include all costs relating to your Lasik procedure, you need to know this for certain.

5 Do you have payment plans?
While this is obviously not a question for the surgeon or clinic, it may still be one you should ask.   

Many clinics (including some of the very largest, offer payment on terms that you might like to, or need to, consider).   Remember that most insurance plans will not cover the Lasik procedure. Read the articles on this site to gain an idea of probable cost, which will also help you gauge whether the costs quoted to you are reasonable.

6 What kind of Lasik procedure will be used?
There are a number of techniques within the broad field of Lasik surgery. Make sure you find out whether you need anything special.  Discuss the approach that will help you the most, and whether your doctor is a specialist in what is being recommended.
