LASIK questions, answered

With financing, LASIK is about $99 per eye per month for 24 months for qualified applicants, depending on the technology used for your eyes.

It reflects the laser technology chosen for your treatment. Your surgeon recommends a platform after mapping your corneas, and your written quote shows which one you are getting.

LASIK is blade-free. The flap is made with a femtosecond laser (IntraLase or VisuMax), and the correction is done with an excimer laser platform (VISX or Allegretto).

Yes. All fine-tunings and enhancements are included, along with 24 months of follow-up and dry eye care.

LASIK patients start with a free VIP consult: a surgery consultation focused on candidacy, in-office or virtual. It is not a comprehensive eye exam and doesn’t include take-home reports. For a comprehensive eye exam with records, the VIP lifestyle exam is $395 (self-pay only).

Many patients go back to desk work the next day. Vision keeps refining over days to weeks. Your recovery guide lists when you can drive, exercise and swim.

Thin or irregular corneas, very high prescriptions or a high-impact job may point to SMILE, surface laser (PRK/ASA) or EVO ICL instead. We tell you which option fits and why.

Usually not. Vision plans generally cover glasses and contacts, not elective surgery. We have dropped, and will continue to drop, HMO and optical (vision) insurance plans. HSA and FSA funds are commonly used.

Dryness can occur during healing. We check your tear film before surgery, match the procedure to your dryness risk, and dry eye care is included in your price.
