Jordan....... if you can wait......why not start saving up money for 2 years and then have the eyes operated on when you can pay cash for it.. That way you will save over $ 2000.

I've worn contacts and glasses for 20 years.
I had it done 5 years ago. I got tired of the glasses and contacts. Best $2,500 I ever spent. The $3,640 sounds high. Where is this at? I did mine in Baton Rouge with DR Fay and I was very happy with everything. I still have 20-20 vision.
Good Luck!

Jordan, I look at it like this......few things are more important to you than your eyesight. I had LASIK done about 10 years ago. I'm damn near 100 and ain't never wore glasses. Dr. Steven Brint in Metarie is one of the pioneers of this procedure but he is expensive. Dr. Singer that Blue mentioned is probably your best option but, when it comes to my eyes, I'm getting the best. No matter the price...it's money well spent.

Had lasik on both my eyes in Baton Rouge 6 years ago. Best $2,000 I have ever spent. Had personal mapping on my left eye, due to it being much worse than the right. Had regular lasik on the right. Prior to the procedure I could not see distance clearly. After the procedure and 5 years later my distance vision is awesome.

Only met 2 folks that had problems and both just had to keep wearing glasses.
But, both had been told they were borderline not being a candidate for lasix.

When I got mine done way back in 2001, Dr. Singer had already done over 10,000 others. That is why I went to him. He did mine, gave me some sleeping pills and I
went across the street to a hotel and slept. Next morning I woke up and drove home.
He was in Metry on Clearview and I-10 back then.
