Eye surgery typically takes between 10 to 15 minutes per eye.

The eye surgery itself takes very little time to complete.

Having laser eye surgery typically takes at most 50 seconds to clear your vision but you may be in the doctors office for an hour or so.

The short term recovery for eye surgery is between 24 to 48 hours.

After you have Lasik eye surgery for example you should begin seeing pretty clearly within 24 to 48 hours after the eye surgery is done.

However it may take a few days longer to fully recover from the lasik or other eye surgery.

The average cost of eye surgery is around $2,200.00 per eye.

If the eye surgery is deemed medically necessary then most medical health insurance will cover the cost of your eye surgery.

Even for cataract surgery if you need cataract surgery done to see your health insurance should cover the cost of it.

Cataract surgery usually cost around $10,000.00 for both eyes but if you have to have the cataract surgery done then your health insurance should cover it.

The cost of the eye surgery depends on the type of eye surgery being done as there's different eye surgeries that can be done.
