With the high cost of Lasik, you may be wondering where all the money goes. Here is a sample breakdown:

• Purchase or lease of the laser, and other equipment used during the surgery
• Maintenance of laser and other equipment
• Royalty fees to the laser manufacturer, (around $100-$200 per eye)
• Rent for office facilities
• Advertising fees
• Surgical equipment such as gowns, masks and gloves
• Insurance
• Pre and post operative evalution meetings
• Eye exams
  
• Post surgical correction, if needed
• Standard medication

In addition to all these factors, the technology used for eye tracking, corneal tissue analysis, and corneal topography measurement can add up to a lot of expenses for the San Diego Lasik surgery clinic. The cost of leasing, owning, and maintaining this equipment will be reflected in the procedure fee. Furthermore, the Lasik Plus San Diego office and surgical staff are all paid a salary, and this must be reflected in the procedure fee as well.
