  What’s the average cost in your place?

    Be aware the correction likely is not forever and might require further treatments every few years.

      Many, like me, require no treatments as well.

      Also, all of us have close vision issues when we hit our mid forties or so due to our weakening muscles in our eyes, it’s something you can also treat with LASIK, but most use reading glasses.

      Can’t beat Father Time!

      However, my biggest challenge was distance vision (near-sightedness) and that will never go away, so again life long change for many with no downside.

      As always, each person is different and you should be evaluated for a fit for the procedure. Some people have complications like many surgical procedures, and many/most do not.

    A few thousand dollars per eye is what I heard but insurance covers a vast majority of that. You’ll have to do your research. Just don’t go to the cheapest place because again it’s your eyes

      My classmate who wore glasses before told me they did it for 20k roubles, like $200 today, so the prices are all over the place, but I’d keep your comment in mind and would research the clinic beforehand so it wouldn’t look like a makeshift tent with some retired soviet equipment.
