Does anyone know a good reputable clinic that has cheap prices for LAsik eye surgery? OR does such a combination not exist? lol I was told you can get your eyes done here rather cheaply...any advice would be appreciated

expect to pay 1.8 at the dream eye centre, not the cheapest but everything is included including touch ups if needed

I went to the Dream Eye Clinic two years ago and my husband went last week. We are both super happy with the results.

[stevekor]

yes but 1.8 million WON per eye is really expensive...even more than back home

[crsandus]

1.8 million for both eyes.

[stevekor]

wow really When did you get your surgery done? Did you get the best possible surgery? (i know some cheaper options don't give you the same night vision results and stuff)
Any problems at all with your eyes?

I'm quite interested now...back home it was 1800 per eye..i just assumed that was what u meant lol

[stevekor]

what was your vision? Usually a quote is based on how bad yours is...mine is -3.50 each eye

[stevekor]

oh really...what complications with Lasik? Have u experienced any?

[blackjack]

I had LASEK. The most common is for the flap to tear or get dislodged.

I had Lasik done at Dream Eye Center. I had regression and I now wear glasses again at night, to drive and sometimes when I don't know where I am in and I have to concentrate on street signs. But my eyes were really bad before, dry and a really strong prescription. Dream Eye clinic is willing to do the surgery again free of cost any time I want, I just have to decide if I want to go through 6 months of dry eyes again. I think I paid around 1.6, for both eyes, which isn't bad, other clinics priced me at 2 to 2.5 million because I had to do something special for my shitty eyes. Dream also said 2 million at first but kept knocking back the price and giving me discounts when I wouldn't commit. So even though it didn't entirely work and I still have to wear glasses sometimes I do not regret it at all and would do it again in a heartbeat.

I've got bad eyes too and 5 years back was told i couldn't get it done as it was too risky but i'm guessing the technology has changed a lot. I'm -8.5 in the right, and -9.0 in the left with a slight astigmatism.

[stevekor]

how did you find your LASEK surgery ? How painful was it or how long was it

Cheap eye surgery.....

You get what you pay for.


Do not have surgery in Korea.
