Many people have heard of LASIK eye surgery but do not understand anything about it other than it is a medical procedure that can correct your vision. LASIK is a much newer treatment for correcting vision than glasses and contact lenses. It also cannot be reversed. Both of these factors scare potential patients from learning anything further about it.
What is LASIK?LASIK is an acronym for laser in situ keratomileusis or laser assisted keratomileusis. This name is a fancy way of saying that a laser is used to assist in reshaping the cornea without touching any other part of the eye. LASIK can be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. While ophthalmologists have been performing procedures to reshape the cornea for over 50 years, LASIK is a much newer procedure. The first clinical trials in the United States took place in 1995.
Who Can Benefit from LASIK?LASIK can benefit almost anyone with nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. LASIK patients should strongly desire to be rid of their glasses and/or contact lenses. Some preexisting conditions will keep doctors from performing LASIK surgery on some patients. Because of this, a consultation and physical examination may be necessary. No list of conditions exists that prevents the surgery from being performed. It is up to the individual doctor and other health factors of the patient. If LASIK cannot be performed, one type of corneal surgery may be suggested by the doctor.
What Are The Results of LASIK?LASIK improves the vision of over 50 percent of patients to 20/20 or better. However, no guarantees exist that the surgery will allow patients to see without the aid of corrective lenses. The minimum vision to drive without corrective lenses in most states is 20/40, and LASIK achieves this result in more than 90 percent of patients. This still leaves nearly 10 percent who must wear corrective lenses while driving even after the surgery. For patients over the age of 40, success rates are lower. Most people over 40 who undergo the LASIK procedure still wear corrective lenses in some situations.
After LASIKAfter the LASIK surgery, recovery times may vary. Some patients have the surgery on only one eye at a time. This requires the wearing a single corrective lens until the time of the second surgery. While it is more convenient to have both eyes done at the same session, some doctors prefer to see how one eye responds before performing in on the other. After each operation, patients usually report being able to see clearly within one to two days. As long as the patient can see adequately, all of the patient's usual activities can be immediately resumed.

It depends on what the laser eye surgery is for. If it's an elective surgery for your eye such as Lasik, then most insurances will not cover it. However, if it's a medically recommended surgery such as for cataracts, then it should be covered. You need to look at your insurance's "Master Policy" to make sure.

Lazer eye surgery is a misspelling of the term "laser eye surgery". Laser eye surgery, also known as LASIK surgery, is a service offered by eye surgeons.
You get Lazer Eye Surgery.
No, and shining a lazer in your eye wont help either.

The main reason is vanity. LASER (to spell it correctly !) eye surgery correct most vision problems, and is a long-lasting procedure. It's also relatively inexpensive. Costing around £400 per eye - the results are almost instant, and you don't need to bother replacing lost or broken spectacles !

Yes, laser eye surgery typically charges per eye. Since each eye may have different vision correction needs, the procedure is often tailored individually. This allows for a personalized treatment plan and pricing structure based on the specific requirements of each eye. Charging per eye ensures that patients receive accurate pricing reflecting the complexity of their surgery. Additionally, it offers flexibility for those who may only need one eye corrected or choose to undergo surgery on one eye at a time. Therefore, most clinics and surgeons will quote prices based on the number of eyes undergoing the procedure.
