Does insurance cover LASIK?

Insurance discounts, which are available with most health and vision plans, are a helpful way to reduce the cost of PRK and LASIK eye surgery. In addition, some health plans and vision plans provide an allowance that can be applied to the cost of your treatment. LasikPlus is the featured provider for many health and vision plans, such as EyeMed, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, BCBS, and many others. These plans offer members significant savings when an in-network surgeon is utilized. Large union groups may cover a rather large portion of the cost of PRK or LASIK eye surgery. Check with your HR or Union representative for details. During your FREE LASIK examination, our financial coordinator will also check your insurance to determine what discount you are entitled to receive. If an allowance applies, we will file the claim on our behalf.

What is bladeless or all-laser LASIK?

Bladeless LASIK means that the corneal flap, created to expose the cornea to be reshaped by the excimer laser, is created using a laser rather than a bladed microkeratome, which was used when LASIK was first introduced. This advanced technology allows more patients to be candidates, including those who were previously not candidates due to thin corneas.

What Is “Custom” LASIK?

Standard or conventional LASIK uses the patient’s prescription alone as the guide to treating a patient’s refractive error - nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Custom LASIK refers to computer-optimized LASIK and uses the “wavefront” technology to measure the eye from front to back and creates a three-dimensional (3-D) image or mapping of the eye. This corneal mapping, which is like the fingerprint of each patient’s eye, allows your LASIK surgeon to not only treat the refractive error but the higher-order aberrations – the peaks and valleys of the cornea. These aberrations include poor night vision, glares and haloes, starbursts, and low-contrast vision problems. With computer-optimized technology, we can actually soften that transition to recreate the round shape of the cornea. It can decrease the chance of getting glares and halos. It’s better for patients and better for maintaining the stability of the procedure afterward. To learn more about Custom LASIK, please read the article, <a href="https://www.lasikplus.com/lasik-resources/procedure/what-is-custom-lasik/">What is Custom LASIK</a> by LasikPlus Dallas LASIK surgeon, Dr. Robert Smith.

Does LasikPlus offer SMILE?

At LasikPlus, we carefully evaluate and consider technology to ensure it represents an advance in the care of and clinical outcomes achieved for our patients. This deliberately conservative philosophy means that rather than adopting technology broad-scale and potentially exposing patients to any potential clinical issues that could arise as more procedures are performed and more experience is gained, we often pause on new technology until more is learned about the results provided. This includes the newly introduced ReLEx SMILE® technology. ReLEx SMILE®, which involves the surgeon creating a small keyhole incision in the cornea through which a tiny amount of tissue is removed, while intriguing, its novelty remains a concern for LasikPlus, so we do not yet current offer SMILE.

LASIK Eye Surgery Cost [ in 2020 ] & PRK Laser

Industry-Leading Value & Affordability at LasikPlus

Since the founding of LasikPlus in 1995, our commitment to patients has remained to provide state-of-the-art technology, from some of the most experienced LASIK doctors in the United States, while also offering patients industry-leading value and affordability. A common question when considering LASIK is how much does LASIK cost. The following information provides details of our pricing here at LasikPlus.

What is the average cost of LASIK at LasikPlus?

The price of LASIK at LasikPlus depends on numerous factors, which include your individual prescription, corneal thickness, pupil size, overall eye health, and the safest laser technology option to correct your vision. Our goal is to provide each patient with the treatment option best suited for their vision.
We are proud and happy that we are able to provide LASIK eye surgery for as little as $250 per eye to those who are safe candidates for this priced treatment option; however, most patients need vision correction that exceeds the $250 per eye pricing. The $250 per eye pricing applies to patients with qualifying insurance coverage receiving LASIK for up to -1.00 diopter with up to -1.00 diopter of astigmatism, performed with the traditional excimer laser (Advantage Plan not available). For most patients, the price of LASIK at LasikPlus is typically between $999 – to a little over $2,000 per eye, with no patients paying more for All-Laser, Custom LASIK with our LasikPlus Lifetime Advantage Plan than just over $2,400 per eye. That is the most you can pay, period.

Are there discounts on the cost of LASIK?

While ultimately how much your LASIK costs may depend on clinical criteria and your individual vision correction needs, you may be eligible for qualified insurance discounts. LasikPlus also provides appreciation discounts for military and civil servants. At the end of the day, our focus is to ensure that all patients at LasikPlus are provided industry-leading value.

What is included in the cost of LASIK?

Our pricing is all-inclusive, with no hidden fees or charges that will sneak up on you. Our LASIK doctors are committed to providing you with a customized treatment plan that gives you the highest chance of achieving your best vision.
The initial LASIK examination is free of charge (about a $120 value), regardless of whether you are a candidate for the procedure or you choose to have LASIK eye surgery with us. This is our opportunity to learn about you, your vision, and your goals of having LASIK, as well as your opportunity to learn about us.

Additionally, the post-operative prescription drops and any post-operative visits required by your surgeon are included in your cost.

State-of-the-Art Technology

Part of our heritage at LasikPlus includes our long-standing commitment to providing patients state-of-the-art technology. As an academic surgeon and patient-centric physician, our founder, Dr. Stephen Joffe has long embraced the need to provide his fellow surgeons a variety of advanced technology to help their patients achieve the best clinical results.

During our 25 years as an industry leader, LasikPlus has offered patients multiple excimer laser platforms to customize the treatment to their unique and individual vision correction needs. LasikPlus was of the first LASIK providers in the U.S. to offer patients Custom Wavefront technology and first adopted All-Laser, bladeless femtosecond technology over 10 years ago.

In fact, LasikPlus-affiliated surgeons are among the most experienced All-Laser LASIK surgeons in the U.S., with many surgeons having each safely performed tens of thousands of such procedures.

Today, we offer patients both Wavefront-Optimized and Wavefront-Guided LASIK procedures. The Custom Wavefront LASIK technology we use was the first laser system in the U.S. to improve nighttime glare and halo, as certified by the FDA. This technology has also been actively embraced by various branches of the U.S. military, including NASA and the United States Air Force, Army, and Navy.

In addition to the actual excimer lasers used to perform LASIK eye surgery, we have ensured our medical team has access to advanced diagnostic equipment which is used during your FREE LASIK examination to determine if you are a safe candidate for one of our procedures. Our high-resolution Pentacam^® provides imagery of your eye’s shape and size, including the curvature and corneal thickness, all factors important in determining your safe candidacy.

We also conduct topographic/tomographic testing to look at the complete surface of your eye so we can provide the treatment plan optimized for you.

If you get LASIK and currently wear contacts, how much will you save over your lifetime?

Your Age Range:

Your Contacts Type:

††Estimated cost of your contacts over time:

††Based on the selected age and type of contact lenses costs are estimates provided for comparison purposes only. Contact lens cost estimate excludes the cost of an annual routine eye exam. Contact lens costs will vary.

When thinking about LASIK, you should consider the cost of not having LASIK. When you take into account the amount of money you will spend over time as a glasses and/or contact lens wearer, the one-time cost of LASIK may come into focus as the better option.

Not to mention to the hassle of buying contacts and solutions, putting contacts in, or searching for your glasses every time you wake up. Think about what you could do with that long-term savings of money and your time!

In addition to the monetary and time savings provided by having LASIK – you will be helping the environment. Contact lenses are microplastics which are very slow to degrade. About 20% of contact lens wearers simply flush their old lenses, sending these small plastics into our waterways. Considering a large number of contact lens wearers, this is about 9 million pairs or 18 million individual contacts placed into our waterways. You can read more about the environmental damages caused by contact lens disposal here.
