Why is there such a broad range of prices offered?
As much as some of us hate to think about it, LASIK is a commercial field. The offered price is purely of economical determination: how many surgeries that surgeon currently performs and what is his desired volume, how much money that surgeon wants to make, what is the practice overhead, how much money is put into advertising, whether the surgeon own his own equipment or rents it, how many duties the surgeon delegates to other persons, reputation of the surgeon (i.e. word-of-mouth referral business), and whether someone is just starting out and needs to increase their business. If you are someone who is price-sensitive (as many of us are to one degree or another), you need to consider all this information along with the surgeon qualifications and the feeling you get about the surgeon after meeting with him. Only after such research can you feel confident about your choice of surgeons and price.
