How Does Financing Refractive Eye Surgery Work?
To finance LASIK eye surgery, you must first apply to one of our three financing companies. This process typically begins with an instant soft credit check. If approved, the company will subtract a financing charge. Then, they will pay us up front for the surgical procedure.
The financing company will be responsible for providing all financing details. You will make monthly payments directly to your chosen company. As long as you make timely monthly payments, you will maintain your No Interest financing. If you begin to miss payments, some interest may accrue.

Soft Check vs Hard Check
LASIK eye surgery financing begins with a soft credit check. If approved, a hard credit check may be required later.
You might have heard that frequent credit checks can impact your credit score. What’s the difference between a soft credit check and a hard credit check?
A soft credit check and a hard credit check are two types of inquiries that can be performed on your credit report. They serve different purposes and have varying impacts on your credit score.
Soft Credit Check
A soft credit check is also known as a soft inquiry or soft pull. This type of credit inquiry will not impact your credit score.
- Visibility: Soft inquiries are only visible to you on your credit report. They are not visible to potential lenders or third parties.
- Purpose: Soft credit checks are typically used for pre-approval offers, background checks, or when you check your own credit score. They provide a high-level overview of your credit without delving into the details.
- Consent: You do not need to give explicit consent for a soft credit check.
Hard Credit Check
Hard credit checks can temporarily lower your credit score, typically by a few points. However, the impact lessens over time and usually disappears within two years.
- Visibility: Hard inquiries are visible to potential lenders and other third parties on your credit report. They may consider them when evaluating your creditworthiness.
- Purpose: Hard credit checks are usually conducted when you apply for credit. They provide a detailed view of your credit history. They are used by lenders to assess your credit risk.
- Consent: You generally need to give explicit consent for a hard credit check. You do this by signing an authorization form or agreeing to the terms when applying for credit.
In summary, soft credit checks are less invasive and do not impact your credit score. Hard credit checks can temporarily lower your credit score and are visible to potential lenders.
