What shapes your price
Top 5 factors that shape your price
The final price of your LASIK procedure isn’t a one-size-fits-all number. Here’s what influences what you’ll pay, all confirmed at your free consultation.
Technology & equipment
Bladeless, all-laser LASIK and advanced custom or topography-guided procedures (like Contoura® Vision) often cost more than traditional LASIK, but offer higher precision and a lower risk of complications.
Surgeon’s expertise & reputation
A highly experienced surgeon with a strong track record of successful outcomes may charge a higher fee, reflecting their expertise and the confidence you can have in their skill.
Geographical location
Costs vary by region or city. Urban areas or regions with a higher cost of living may have higher LASIK prices compared to rural areas.
Pre-op evaluation & post-op care
Comprehensive packages that include all pre-surgery evaluations and post-surgery follow-ups, critical for a successful recovery, cost more but offer better value and peace of mind.
Customization & additional services
Customized procedures tailored to your eyes may add cost. Some packages include enhancements or lifetime plans, which can influence the overall price.
The real value
Is LASIK worth the money? Absolutely.
LASIK isn’t just about saving on glasses and contacts. It’s about living life with freedom, confidence, and a better quality of life. Whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, LASIK may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
Easier travel
No packing glasses, contacts, or solution.
Confidence in sport
Swim, run, and play without lenses in the way.
Long-term savings
Years of eyewear costs, behind you.
Quality of life
Wake up and simply see, every day.
Paying for LASIK
You won’t pay for it all at once
Worried about the upfront cost? Don’t be. Most people don’t pay for LASIK out of pocket in one lump sum. There are several ways to make vision correction affordable.
Does insurance cover LASIK?
Usually not in full, since it’s considered elective. But there are real ways to bring the cost down.
- Many providers, including us, are preferred partners with major vision plans offering discounts.
- FSA, HSA, and HRA funds can be applied tax-free toward LASIK surgery.
- Some roles that require perfect vision, like athletes and combat fighters, may qualify for fuller coverage.
