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.
By industry survey during the first quarter of 2010, 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 we prefer for you to come in so we know if you are even a candidate first.
In cases where the cataract has reached sufficient thickness, most insurance companies see cataract and monofocal IOL surgery as medically necessary, so most insurance health plans and Medicare will cover these surgeries.
We use Care Credit as our financing partner. Please feel free to check out their website for information about financing for LASIK.
