You can easily check your minimal health care rates in internet, for example here – healthquotes.awardspace.info

I don’t know the current cost of Lasik, but I do know that you shouldn’t go to the cheapest, but rather the best. Do your research for the best in your area.
I had Lasik surgery 15 years ago. My eyes went from 20/800 ( legally blind ) to 20/20. I am now 48, so I have to wear reading glasses, but that’s my big complaint. I was the guinea pig as right after I had the surgery, my husband did, followed by my BIL,my SIL, my MIL and another SIL. No one has any complains.
The only downside is that I see “Starburst” during night driving, so I have prescription driving glasses to cut out the glare from oncoming cars, but I did not get them till a few years ago.
Overall, I have absolutely no regrets as I would not trade my vision now for those horrid contacts or glasses that I absolutely hated.

Some of the other downsides are overcorrection or undercorrection, results that don’t last, a permanently weakened cornea that can rupture, and constant pain. I’m 50 years old and am not considering getting it done since I will only be swapping one problem for another. I have not needed reading glasses and don’t want to start now.

the cost is more than 1000 and there is risks of getting very dry eyes or seeing lights around your eyes if it doesnt come out right
