Laser eye surgery in Canada is becoming more and more popular, as technology advances and the success rate has steadily risen. It can however, be an expensive surgery and is not normally covered under any type of insurance, nor is it covered under Canada's universal health care plan. People are choosing to pay out of their own pockets, though, because they have dissatisfied with wearing glasses or contacts for various reasons.
In Canada, LASIK MD is the largest laser eye surgery facility and approximately 40 – 50% of all surgeries are done by LASIK MD centres. The cost of the surgery will depend on many factors, and will vary from province to province. Ontario, for example, will likely be more expensive than Prince Edward Island.
Of course, if you want both eyes done, it will cost more than just getting one eye done. Depending on the equipment and technology that is used, prices will vary. The more expensive the equipment, the more expensive the surgery is going to be. Surgeons also play a role in how much the surgery costs. Generally, the more renowned and popular the surgeon is, the more money you are going to pay.
Generally, surgery for one eye takes approximately one to two hours, and is for the most part, a painless procedure. Eye drops are prescribed for the first few days after surgery and the eye will need to be covered completely for at least two to three days.
After the initial few days following surgery, eyesight is restored to 20/20 and eyeglasses or contacts will no longer be needed.
To find a LASIK MD eye centre near you, the best place to search is the internet. When you find a centre close to you, call or visit and ask them to explain the procedure to you in detail. Ask how much the procedure will cost, and what type of follow-up care is provided. Also, be sure to ask about price, and whether they take any type of payment plans.
Laser eye surgery in Canada is quite safe, and convenient for those that live in metropolitan areas. Ask your friends or family members for a recommendation, or your eye care specialist may be able to recommend a centre for you. If you are tired of wearing glasses, or losing your contact lenses, then laser eye surgery may be the solution you've been looking for. Your eyesight is well worth the price of surgery.
