Think about how much you spend each year on glasses, lenses, contacts, and the accessories that go along with them. Glasses can cost you hundreds of dollars and may get damaged or broken. And depending on how often you need to replace your contacts, paying for them every year can cost you even more! LASIK is a one-time cost to correct your vision permanently.
LASIK eye surgery can be life changing for people and the experience is nothing short of amazing. All of a sudden you can do activities that were difficult with glasses like skiing, swimming, playing basketball and even driving a car. We hear frequently from patients that they wish they had done this years ago. Prior to having LASIK surgery it is a good idea to an idea of what the actual costs are and what are any additional fees.
As you search around on LASIK websites you will find varying LASIK pricing scales. Not every practice in the San Francisco bay area is going to have the same price. We are hoping to detail some of the differences and what you need to look for as you begin your research.
After a lot of research it is hard to get an exact average cost of LASIK eye surgery but we have settled on a range of roughly $2500 per eye. Of course this will vary in certain regions. We have seen website with LASIK as low as $1500 per eye and as high as $3500 per eye. When researching this procedure you may also run into bait and switch discounters. Even if they advertise LASIK as low as $299 per eye this is simply not reality. They discount centers have a tendency to make research harder than it needs to be. Most independent LASIK centers generally have very straight forward approach. Make sure to ask bout any post-operative costs or fees associated to enhancements or re-treatments.

During your pre-operative eye exam you will be tested and a prescription will be determined. Vision is measured in diopters, which is the unit used to measure the strength of the eye or lens. LASIK eye surgery can treat up to +6.00 diopters of farsightedness and nearsightedness up to -12.00 diopters (you might find most LASIK eye doctors do not like to correct nearsightedness at the level of -12.00 diopters and would opt for a different vision correction procedure.
Lasers used to perform LASIK range tremendously in price. The excimer laser is the machine that does the actual vision correction and the femtosecond laser is used just to create a flap. Prior to femtosecond lasers, a mechanical blade device, known as a microkeratome was used and is still in existence today. Obviously, the more a practice invests in technology the higher the price that the LASIK surgery will cost. Batra Vision has always been on the forefront of LASIK technology. We offer the latest generation of surgical lasers, which now have the advanced capability to make all corneal changes with laser precision. All-Laser LASIK gives our patients the most advanced vision correction procedure available today.
