1. The eye surgeon creates a flap in the cornea.

Recovery from LASIK surgery is usually fast and painless. A renowned Beverly Hills Lasik surgeon tells us in a recent interview that patients may notice improved vision by the next day or sooner.

Concerning refractive surgery costs, most types of health insurance will not pay for procedures of this kind. Only about 3% of LASIK surgery procedures cost less than $1000 per eye. The good news is that the cost seems to be coming down. On average nationally in mid-2006, the cost of having LASIK surgery done on both eyes was $1950. Using wavefront technology or the “laser microkeratome” costs more. Price also varies slightly by region. For additional cost information regarding Lasik eye surgery Beverly Hills and Los Angeles patients should consult their local eye surgeon who can make clear what is and is not included in the price they are quoted. It is also strongly recommended to ask if there are additional costs if follow-up visits or treatment for complications are needed down the line.
