Lasik Eye Correction

How much does eye surgery for a dog usually cost? If your dog had any type of eye surgery, how much was it?

My puppy has a left eye that crosses. We took it to a opthamologist for animals and she said that it is basically a cosmetic problem. It's not Collie eye but it is a Sheltie. It can see out of the eye but naturally, it's vision is a bit impaired to the left side. She said there is a surgery that they can do when it's 6 months but it may or may not work. The pup is really beautiful but the eye does make it look goofy (sad but true!). I'd also love for it to do agility but I'm afraid that it'll run into obstacles or fall of the dogs walk or something with it's vision being impaired like that. I love the puppy no matter what but I do want it to have the surgery. How much do you think it'd cost including anethesia? If you had a dog that had ANY kind of eye surgery, roughly how much was it? What would you do? Thanks for any advice or information.

1. my daughters chihuahua had an eye op about a year ago - she got scratched on the eyeball and it turned nasty although she was having treatment - cost was around £250 but she is ok now
