Here’s when you should go to the doctor’s for dry eye symptoms.
In 2021, the average cost of LASIK eye surgery in the United States is about $2,246 per eye. This price has been relatively stable since LASIK’s mass introduction to the public in the 1990s.

"I had vision problems because of droopy eyelids. In order to correct the problem my eye doctor referred me to Dr. Rajjoub for corrective surgery. During my first visit Dr Rajjoub explained me in detail the procedure and what discomforts, if any, I should expect during my recovery. Dr Rajjoub recommended that in addition to correct my droopy eyelids I should also have my eyebrows raised. Overall, Dr Rajjoub was very caring, compassionate making sure that I was as comfortable as possible during the surgery.
