Are you talking about LASIK which is a procedure on the cornea generally for myopia or intraocular lens replacement which is for cataracts? $6K/eye is about what the cost is for the light adjustable lens implant. Medicare/typical insurance covers the cheaper option, usually about $2k/eye. ...

Yes, I agree, and that's what I'm trying to quantify and/ or figure if I can do on my own, especially when the process seems to become more automatic. How* that makes sense
