And you can only have traditional LASIK.   So, the key phrase in that disclaimer above is: Prices range between $247 and $2,299 per eye.   And in these centers, that is the standard. Their goal is to entice you to call and visit their location so they can upsell you at the appropriate price, which is probably not $250 as advertised. Avoid low-quality providers who advertise deals that seem too good to be true because they usually are In fact, you can review the cost of LASIK Eye Surgery here for better accuracy.
