When we were preparing the last page we noticed a glaring omission in the Eye Surgery Education Council's description of the ideal candidate for laser eye surgery. The ideal candidate will have just won the $10 million jackpot in the state lottery.

Actually laser eye surgery doesn't cost quite that much, but there's no two ways about it: laser eye surgery is EXPENSIVE. And in this country, it's almost never paid for by insurance. But, unlike in other areas of your life, being economical isn't always a good thing. If you buy a cheap Rolex from an unlicensed street vendor, you can always toss it out a few weeks later if you discover it's a poorly put together knock-off. With your eyes, you don't have that liberty.

Costs fluctuate and they vary from state to state and doctor to doctor. There is no universal standard, except that such surgery is almost always quoted per eye. Giving estimates to a general readership on the Internet is well-nigh impossible, but it's reasonable to say that you can probably expect to pay somewhere in the area of $1200 to $2600 per eye, although significantly less (or more) is possible. Many doctors and eye centers offer low-interest payment plans.

You should never choose a doctor based solely on who offers the cheapest price or the best payment plan!

If not price then what? Click next to find out more about how to pick a doctor. We found several sources for pricing information:

In 2007, AllAboutVision.com commissioned a report from a leading industry analyst who found that wavefront LASIK combined with IntraLase costs an average of $2,357, compared to $1,694 for conventional LASIK. This is a price difference of $663 per eye between the two procedures.

A March 2007 TLC Laser Eye Centers report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said the company range of charges was $350 to $500 extra per eye for wavefront analysis (custom LASIK) combined with IntraLase.

TruVision Laser Eye Centers in 2007 advertised conventional LASIK at $895 per eye, and wavefront LASIK at $1,295 per eye, for a price difference of $400. (The company web site notes that an extra fee also would be charged for use of IntraLase.)Below are typical prices, per eye, for other types of refractive eye surgery. As with LASIK, the prices vary based on many factors, including your individual prescription, where you live, and which surgeon you choose.

CK: $1,500 to $2,000
PRK, Epi-LASIK and LASEK: about the same as LASIK
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE): $2,500 to $4,500 per eye or more, depending on extra costs such as facility fees.

Using a microwave oven beyond just reheating of foods and drinks can be quite difficult. Most of us have some kind of training in using a conventional oven properly and there are a huge number of cookery programs on TV to give helpful tips and advice on cooking times and temperatures. Microwaves however are completely different with very little help available and cookbooks being few and not widely promoted. Here is a guide to the general use of your microwave oven.

When using your microwave oven do not always blast everything at full power, as to so extent microwaves will cook foods in similar ways to your conventional oven and you do not cook everything at full power with your conventional oven as you end up with the food burnt on the outside and not cooked in the middle. The same effect can occur with dense items of food in a microwave oven if the food is cooked on too high power. The thing to remember with microwaves is that they penetrate the food only to a certain depth and by reducing the power this allows the heat to disperse through the food and cook it evenly and thoroughly.

To observe how your microwave cooks put in a stew and try it on full power you will notice after a couple of minutes the liquid near the outer edge of the container is bubbling and very hot and that in the middle will probably be still be cold. If you reduce the power and cook for a longer period of time you will notice that the heat has dispersed further into the liquid. Remember though that you will still have to stir the liquid and leave all microwave food to stand for at least two minutes before serving it.

Using your microwave oven to cook is much more economical than when using a conventional oven and because it does not generate heat will keep your kitchen cooler and is generally cleaner than using a conventional microwave oven.
