LASIK Payment and Pricing

While LASIK can provide a solution to a very common medical problem, it is considered an elective procedure. This means that it is not usually covered by medical insurance. It does not mean, however, that LASIK is unaffordable.

An industry survey conducted by Allaboutvision.com during the first quarter of 2010 found that average LASIK costs were about $2000 – $2200 per eye. This average price includes chains that make amazingly low price offers.

The good news is that we offer attractive monthly payment options that can make 20/20 vision or better as affordable as a few dollars a day – and without the ongoing costs of lenses. We can talk price when you are ready; but first, we prefer for you to come in so we know if you are even a candidate.

Facts About LASIK Affordability

  • LASIK for $299, $499 or $699 – Fact or Fiction? Mostly fiction. Ads offering LASIK for $299, $499 or $699 can be found all over the media and at first glance they seem very tempting. In fact less than 2% of patients even qualify medically for this type of procedure. “Indeed, only 3% of LASIK procedures cost less than $1,000 per eye, and the average price is about $2,000.” Statement by Paul B. Ginsburg, PhD. before U.S. House of Representatives’ Subcommittee on Health, 3/1/2006
  • Bait & Switch Marketing: This not very honest technique works like this: ’Bait’ the unwary consumer by offering startlingly low prices but then ‘switch’ to escalate the end cost by adding ‘necessary enhancements or additions’ that independent surgeons like Dr. Davis include in his basic fee.

The moral of the story: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The fact is that you don’t have to discount your vision or your peace of mind to achieve 20/20 or better with LASIK from Davis Eye Center.
