Looks like it's getting pretty competitive, down to under $300 per eye.



It's not something I would go bargain shopping for. My opthamologist
has a nice business patching up people that did it on the cheap. If
they're charging less that $1500 an eye, they're cutting corners.


How do you cut corners with LASIK since most of the hard work is
automated? Are there better and worse LASIK machines? I thought all
had to be FDA approved.
