Laser eye correction - is it expensive or what?

Just seen this advert on tv..£395 per eye..who can afford that??? I could get one eye done and leave the other...but at the risk of the clinic thinking i was a tight get

I don't think it's that expensive. Consider how much you spend on glasses............four or five pairs of glasses and you break even.

If you don't wear glasses why would you want to have laser treatment on your eyes?

The price is coming down all the time so if and when your eyesight does start to fail then you may be able to afford it at some point in the future.

 

I know quite a few people who have had it done with no problems. Apparently its painless and is just a slightly odd feeling rather than a discomfort.

 

I don't find wearing glasses a discomfort at all so i wouldn't worry about that.

 

And on a final note.......people don't have to have the laser treatment .....they choose to.

They have to cut around the lens of the eyeball and flap it over before doing it - that'd put me off for starters.

[anlabystreet 12]

maybe...but i would choose not to...and i do know of instances where its gone wrong
