I work at a place Lasik eye surgery on one of the most respected doctors OD in my area, good thing I came across your question. 1. ) The procedure takes about an hour, it doesnt get that far. 2. ) Where i work on $ 2,000 per eye. 3. ) Glasses an/dor contacts 4. ) Awake, your eyes need to be open, duh.

But you can ask them to put to sleep, haha. 5. ) I think it is. Ironically, i wear glasses, and in the future WLL i sure to Lasik eye surgery.

All patients are happy that I got. Good luck.

I think a lot of this depends on your surgeo/ndoctor of your choice. Most offices are a free consultation lasts about an hour and a half to see if you are a good candidate.

The day of the procedure will probably be between 1-2 hours (I did and I was there one hour and 45.) We go early so they can make a final check on your eyes, give you eye drops, wait your eyes open, it gives you time to Valium to kick at all before surgery.

The real part of surgery is less than 15 minutes. Once walking in the room until they come out. I think I was in the room 10 minutes. TOPS.

It is usually about $ 1500 – $ 2000 an eye. Dr. Charged me $ 4400 but gave discounts to teachers, policemen, firemen, etc. I am a teacher so it was only $ 3495.

You are awake during the procedure (hence the Valium and you know what happens all the time.) Can you wear contacts or if you are a candidate for LASIK PRK can do which is quite similar simply cut the cornea and needs more time to heal.

It was definitely worth it and the best money I ever spent.

Hi-The procedure takes anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes – Average of all in all areas from $ 1500 – $ 2000 per eye. – There are some choice in laser surgery such as Lasik, Lasek, PRK, lasik doctor, etc. In your eyes, what is right for you. – You stay awake – 99% of patients say it is worth

Lasik eye surgery is very safe today. My cousin got dental implants and surgery in India by an Indian company called Health Guru Consultants. Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. Paid 25% of the price was quoted in America. Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India facilitate dental surgery, jaw surgery, eye surgery Lasik, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read about them in newspapers and magazines-about their patient stories. Where to arrange financing for USA, Canada, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost dental and eye surgery are not covered by insurance.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients.

You can Checkout their website.

There are huge cost savings.

As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be handled easily in India as the quality of health care available in India is simply best in the world.

The surgeons are US/auK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Most places do free screening to see if you are still a good candidate. Took 15 minutes for each eye for me price depends on the type of surgery, etc.. . My vision was awful & it cost me 2. 5k in dc alternatives – PRK, LASEK, Epi-LASIK, Phakic IOL, ICL, RLE, NearVision CK You are awake. Surgeon numbs your eyes, open them and ensure you can focus only on a small dot. GET IT DONE!!
