The best Hospital in the country will do it for 2.5k. 3 days in the hospital 7 in a hotel and check ups daily for a total of 10 days care.

I'm jealous. I have keratoconus in both eyes bad enough that they both require surgery. Cornea replacement in the left and a round stint in the right to prevent it from getting worse. Neither are 'correctable' with glasses but I would be considered a 'cash patient' which means I would have to shit a healthy $50K combined costs before they started cutting
I squint a lot
