LASIK eye surgery is the number one most-popular vision-correcting laser refractive surgery. On average, the life-changing procedure costs around $2,200 for one eye and $4,400 for both eyes, with costs determined by several factors.

While you will see better the day after surgery, your vision may be a bit blurry or hazy immediately afterward. These temporary vision difficulties usually clear up after the first few weeks. However, it can take about 2 – 3 months before your vision fully stabilizes and your eyes completely heal.
