LASIK eye surgery is an investment in your future. While many people make look at it as an out-of-pocket cost, it should be looked at as a savings opportunity. Compared with the costs of eyeglasses or disposable contact over a lifetime, LASIK surgery is a great deal to curb those ongoing future expenditures.
The cost of your surgery will depend on your specific vision correction needs. LASIK surgery procedure costs can cost you as low as a few hundred dollars or up to thousands. Your final price will depend on your prescription, the type of procedure and the service provider. For a qualified surgeon on a standard procedure, you should expect to spend $1,000 to $2,500 per eye, which includes your initial exam, surgery and follow up care.
Most health care and vision care insurance plans do not cover the cost of LASIK eye surgery, as it is still deemed an elective surgery. Most surgeons offer a financing plan through a respected financial institution that will provide you the flexibility of payment that you may need. Before agreeing to a surgical plan, make sure to inquire about financing opportunities that are available.
Compared to the cost of contact lenses and glasses for the rest of your life the cost of LASIK eye surgery is always less. For the disposable contact wearer, that cost can be as much as $28,000 over a lifetime.
