Do Tell All . Real People, Real Results

FDA Lasik Surgery Guide The FDA Lasik Surgery Guide. It answers the questions: What is Lasik? When is Lasik not for me? What are the risks? What should I expect? The website also provides a Lasik checklist, a list of approved lasers, and FAQs. Since it's the FDA and not a Lasik surgeon this site should be fairly reliable.

American Academy of Ophthalmology Wikipedia has a Lasik entry. Also the websites of ophthalmology societies might be useful. Read the Lasik information at the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

It acutally costs between $1,000 and $2000, for more details go to http://www.lasikeyesurgerycorrection.com/lasik_surgery_cost.html

I would make an appointment with Spokane Eye Clinic PS. They are located on Bernard Street.

The procedure is supposed to be permanent however it is not foolproof. I'm going to tell you a true life experience of our family. My mother-in-law had the laser surgery when she was 60 years old. She is now 74 years old and has to start wearing reading glasses. She was told that the surgery is permanent and I was told the surgery was permanent by my own opthamologist. I really quizzed him about it because I'm over 50 also and was curious why it wasn't permanent for my mother-in-law. He told me that 99% of the time it is permanent but that if there are any underlying eye conditions that crop up later in life and/or too much eye strain that perhaps the patient might have to, at some point, use something light like reading glasses. I'm going to go with what my doctor said. Yes it is permanent even though over 50 years old but that there is a very small chance that other medical conditions could give some slight problems eventually.

I think your ophthalmologist is incorrect about the 99% permanent fix. See this FAQ: http://www.rittenhouseeye.com/lasik-eye-surgery/lasik-faq.html

The cost can range from $1500 - $3500, depending on the practice. Most practices have a variety of financing options. This article has a lot of info about Lasik surgery, the costs, etc. http://www.usaeyes.org/lasik/faq/lasik-cost-price.htm

Lasik eye surgery to which you refer is an elective procedure and is not covered by insurance. Most physicians have special financing plans that you might investigate. For the most part, expect to pay $1500 - $2300. You will see ads for surgery (per eye) as low as $299, but the cost reflects only a simple procedure. Most eye corrections require much more and thus cost more.

Since this is considered an elective surgery, it is not covered by insurance. The prices differ depending on the doctor but average around $2,000.

If you are at all in doubt about the consistency of your vision, give your doctor a call and just determine if there may be an additional medical concern that may need addressing. With regard to follow-up lasik surgury, according to a recent Spanish study, Lasik sould remain safe and effective after 10 years. Any change in vision must then be treated as a medical concern.

You do not say who you provider is so there is no way to tell you. You will have to call your provider and ask them or call the local DRs and ask if they accept your insurance.
