How much did you pay and when?

I got it done at Wolfe in Cedar Rapids in March. I had a bit of a discount so it was around $4800 total. Best money I have ever spent.

 

[TheHighLife]

I remember mine costing 3,500 6 years ago. Best money I ever spent.

$5,000 total for both eyes in 2010.

Jeesh. I seem to remember seeing the cost being around 1500 per eye yrs ago. Why has the cost not come down on this?

I found a coupon on Craigslist for $99.99 per eye.

When I woke up my vision wasn't any better....and I didn't need both kidneys anyway, I guess. Sure wish I had my $200 back, though.

Paid $3,600 a year ago yesterday. That was with a 20 or 25% discount through vsp. Best money I've ever spent.

$3200 at TLC in Robbins, IA in 2004. Best purchase I've made. Make sure to fund it with flex spending.

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

$4400 in Los Angeles, August of 2008.

 

[MidMOhawk]

$3500 about 6 months ago. It's been great. Price has stayed higher because most doc's are doing custom LASIK now when it used to be an upgrade.

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

2K a eye about 18 months ago in Davenport. Very Very worth it

 

[Jailbreak Hawk]

$2,800 MPLS two years ago.

 

[91hawki]

$3200 total from TLC a few years ago in Chicago.

I do believe it is cheaper in the bigger cities because of more competition.

 

[iahawk08]

$4400 at Wolfe in CF 2 years ago, best money I've ever spent.

 

[HawkEngineer]

There's a groupon for $1900 Lasik in Chicago.....

 

[ICHawk-I]

$1800/eye in 2001 at Iowa Eye Care in Cedar Rapids. Wife was $2400/eye in 2006 at same place. As most have said, best money ever spent.

While the origins are similar, BMIES doesn't have the same staying power as BAU. IMHO of course.

$4,200 around 5 years ago...agree, best money spent ever.
