Emory Vision

However, with a little investigation, I found out what other people have paid to get lasik vision correction from Emory Vision. Here’s a quote from a recent Yelp review of Emory:

I finally decided to have laser correction this year, and was able to put money pre-tax straight from my paycheck into a flexible health spending account to pay for it. I work at Emory U, so I got a 25% off discount, which at the normal rate of $2400 per eye means I saved $1200 having both eyes done. Expensive – yes, but I would have happily paid twice that had I known how it would turn out.

Based on this and other Emory Vision reviews, you can expect to pay a minimum of $2400 per eye, or $4200 total.

This is a great article (updated in June 2007) that discusses the costs for various popular eye surgeries: Cost of LASIK Eye Surgery.

Here’s a quote to give you an idea of how much you’ll probably pay for lasik corrective surgery PER EYE:

LASIK prices, after rising for several years, seemed to stabilize in 2006 and 2007. Industry sources report that the average LASIK price in late 2006 was about $1,950. In 2007, LASIK and laser-based procedures charged at a single price (no extra charges added on for new technologies) cost an average $2,099 (see charts below).

The article attributes the rising costs of lasik eye surgeries to newer, more expensive technologies like wavefront-guided lasik and intralase.

Since most insurance doesn’t cover lasik surgery it’s a good thing that affordable financing is available!
