Prohibitive Laser Eye Surgery Cost
June 15th, 2008
Laser eye surgery, if done properly with the right equipment and a licensed physician, will enable you to partially recover your eyesight. The machine used in a PRK laser eye surgery procedure is controlled by a programmed computer which directs the intensity and direction of ultraviolet beams. The precise beams remove tissue from the distorted portions of the cornea. This precision and level of technology is what makes laser eye surgery cost quite high. The pay off is the betterment of your eyesight. Priced at a minimum of $4,000, majority of patients have to pay for this procedure out of their own savings. Most HMOs do not cover laser eye surgery in their policies.
