Many people are interested in exploring the possibility of having LASIK eye surgery performed to help enhance their eye sight, and roll back the negative effect that time has had on their vision. One of the factors that folks have to take into consideration when looking at having this procedure performed is what LASIK eye surgery cost.

While the costs typically aren’t enormous, they can be substantial. My experience with my own medical insurance company is that they are not willing (at least at this point) to cover the cost of LASIK eye surgery for corrective purposes. It seems that this procedure is currently looked at as more of a vision enhancement than medical necessity and as such, most providers are unwilling to cover it. I think it falls into the same category as most cosmetic surgery. Typically these procedures are disallowed also because they are viewed as enhancements as opposed to being treatments that are necessary for the medical well being of the patient.

In Arizona, it seems that the average price of one of these procedures is right around $1200 per eye. I have seen different advertisements on the Internet that promise to deliver this procedure for as little as $499 per eye, but I would be leery of going to see someone that offers the procedure at such a substantial discount. The old adage “You get what you pay for” typically holds true, and the one place where you do not want to take short cuts is with your vision. This is one of those times when I would think it would be better to pay a little more for someone that has a long track record of successfully performing these types of procedures.

The bottom line to all of this is that you should do your research when looking into LASIK procedures. While the cost of LASIK eye surgery is an important factor to consider, it is not the only factor. Take your time, check out the providers in your area, see what LASIK eye surgery cost your insurance provider will cover, evaluate the LASIK eye surgeons in your area, and then make a well informed decision.

Phoenix LASIK

As I have said before, there are many LASIK surgeons in the valley, and it is not always an easy task to make a decision who to trust your vision with or be able to determine lasik eye surgery cost. If this is your first time to the site, the reason we exist is to provide you with a one stop shop that has information about the different LASIK surgeons and doctors in the greater Phoenix and Scottsdale areas. We are not associated with a practice, and will not endorse any specific Phoenix LASIK practitioner. Our intent is to provide you with information. What you do with that information is up to you. Please feel free to browse the pages of our site. I hope the information is useful to you.

Today, we are going to take a look at a practice located in the Greater Phoenix area (offices in both the Phoenix and Glendale areas). The name of the practice is the Horizon Eye Specialists and LASIK Center. They have a full complement of trained professional ophthalmologists and eye surgeons, as well as a whole host of other eye specialists. Additionally, their website provides a very nice testimonials page that provides the stories and feedback of some of their patients. It is always nice to see what previous patients have had to say about the office. They offer several different payment options, and they have invested heavily in procuring state of the art equipment for their facility.

I performed a cursory query in Google looking to see if the Mighty OZ would tell me of any complaints or problems that other consumers have had with this practice, and I found nothing.

If you make the decision to use the Horizon Eye Specialists, please come back and tell us wht your impression was. We appreciate your feedback.

Thanks and good luck!
