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!

It might seem strange to make a blog about a type of eye surgery, but it’s a particular interest of mine because I’m seriously considering doing it. I’m doing extensive research on this topic because it’s definitely not an inexpensive procedure! I’m using this blog to capture my research–which will hopefully be of value to others.

Like you, I’ve heard good things and bad things about getting lasik vision surgery. I’m going to explore both the good and the bad aspects of lasik surgery in this blog.

If you’ve had experiences, either good or bad, with lasik vision correction surgery I’d like to hear them! Please join this blog as a member and partipate in the discussion.

I hope you enjoy the research I’m doing on this popular surgery. Thanks for reading my blog!
