    Dont know if if Blue Shield Cross matters, but the last I heard the surgery was $ 650.00 per eye. I wish my insurance paid for this, glasses can be a pain at times.

    Medical insurance covers medical problems (in most cases). Myopia / hyperopia/ astigmatism / presbyopia that requires spectacle correction is not a medical problem and hence no insurance company that I know of has ever covered laser eye treatment in this case. Laser eye treatment is considered an elective cosmetic surgery - hence the problems people have trying to claim damages when things go wrong. (unless you can prove negligence, you don’t stand a chance - exhaustive consent forms, voluntarily having a surgical procedure on healthy tissue etc)

    Prices seem to average around $2100 per eye.

    that is the insurrance my family has and when my sister got lasik it wasn’t covered under the insurrance.

    this was a couple years ago but at that time it was $1000 per eye.
