Lower eye pressure: There's couple of types, but both are surgical treatments to lower your eye pressure. Cost is usually covered by your insurance. However, if your are self pay, then it can vary whether you have it done at a hospital or an ambulatory surgery center. They can range $4k-$10k if you are a cashing paying patient.
