I think the price is LASIK can be inflated by the costs it’s saving you from: often a couple decades of contacts and solution purchasing.

That’s my main argument against getting the procedure done: my work benefits cover my lenses/contacts, so the $thousands doesn’t yield any out-of-pocket savings.

If it saves me several hundred a year, it would be a good ROI.

But I also stock up when chickpeas are 20 cents off/can.

I do always think about going overseas though.

The quality of life improvement is pretty huge. Sometimes you just get better vision after LASIK than you can be corrected to. I tested at 20/15 and sometimes 20/10 after my procedure.
