So far she's only had one consultation. They said that the procedure for both eyes would be around $15k. Insurance wont contribute, so we'd be out the whole amount.

I had both eyes done at Filutowski Eye Clinic -- they are a huge multi-location outfit here in Central Florida.

It did not cost me "a bunch of money." With Medicare and Supplement, my total out-of-pocket cost was $45 for each eye. This was for the post-surgery eye drops that were not covered by my MediCare plan.

Same with my wife, a few years later, except for some reason (I forget why), she used three separate types of eye drops instead of the all-in-one that I used.



You missed the point - insurance will not pay for cataract surgery if you don’t have cataracts - if you want a lens exchange ( with no cataracts ) at 30, 40, 50 years old, you’re paying the full load …

Ouch, that's a tough pill to swallow.
I'd had $4-6k in my head as the number for ICL, which seems in line with current Lasik cost.
