Prices may vary, depending on surgeon and laser center. Actual prices will be confirmed at the time of the free consultation. The procedures themselves are painless. Most of our patients have both eyes treated at the same time because there is only one recovery period, and the healing time is minimal. If you have only one eye treated, be aware that you may experience headaches and disorientation from the different refractions in each eye.
