Top 5 Factors That Influence the Cost of LASIK
The final price of your LASIK procedure is not a one-size-fits-all number. Here are the most significant factors that influence what you’ll pay:
- Technology and Equipment: The type of laser used can affect the price. Bladeless, all-laser LASIK (using a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap) and advanced custom or topography-guided procedures (like Contoura® Vision) are often more expensive than traditional LASIK but can offer higher precision and a lower risk of complications.
- Surgeon’s Expertise and Reputation: A highly experienced and reputable surgeon with a strong track record of successful outcomes may charge a higher fee, which reflects their expertise and the confidence you can have in their skill.
- Geographical Location: LASIK costs can vary significantly depending on the region or city where the procedure is performed. Urban areas or regions with a higher cost of living may have higher LASIK prices compared to rural areas.
- Pre-operative Evaluation and Post-operative Care: Comprehensive packages that include all pre-surgery evaluations and post-surgery follow-up appointments (which are critical for a successful recovery) are generally more expensive but offer better value and peace of mind.
- Customization and Additional Services: Customized LASIK procedures tailored to individual eye characteristics may incur additional costs. Some clinics offer package deals that include additional services such as enhancements or lifetime plans, which can influence the overall price.
Is LASIK Worth the Money?
Absolutely. LASIK isn’t just about saving on glasses and contacts—it’s about living life with freedom. Patients often enjoy:
- Easier travel without glasses/contacts
- Confidence in sports, swimming, and outdoor activities
- Long-term savings on prescription eyewear
- Improved quality of life and convenience
Will Insurance Cover Cost of Laser Eye Surgery?
We get asked “does my insurance cover LASIK?” very often. Insurance usually does not cover laser eye surgery, unless your job requires perfect vision. Athletes and combat fighters sometimes qualify for full coverage, for instance.
Insurance typically does not fully cover LASIK, since it is considered an elective procedure. However:
- Many providers, including The LASIK Vision Institute, are preferred partners with major vision plans offering discounts.
- FSA, HSA, and HRA funds can be applied tax-free to LASIK surgery
LASIK Financing and Payment Options
Worried about the upfront cost? Don’t be. Most people don’t pay for LASIK out of pocket all at once. There are several ways to make vision correction affordable.
Do you have a flexible spending account through your employer? Many patients use these tax-free funds and apply them to the cost of LASIK eye surgery. Once you complete your Free LASIK Consultation, you can decide how much you would like to contribute from your flex spending or saving program.
Do you have money set aside for health care expenses? Health saving accounts can be used to pay for medical expenses without the funds being subject to income tax. After your Free LASIK Consultation, you can decide how much you would like to contribute from your HSA toward your LASIK surgery.
Many patients are eligible for a discount on LASIK procedures from their companies’ vision or health plans. Check with your company’s HR department or with your insurance provider to see if your plan provides a discount for LASIK surgery.
Additional Ways To Afford LASIK Eye Surgery:
- CareCredit – A unique financing option, CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that can be used to cover medical expenses, including LASIK eye surgery. Choosing CareCredit for LASIK financing allows you to pay in monthly increments, rather than one lump sum. The card is designed specifically with medical costs in mind.
- Tax Refund – Who doesn’t enjoy getting a refund check in the mail around tax time? All the better when you can put those funds toward paying for your LASIK surgery.
- Our Guaranteed Financing – At The LASIK Vision Institute, we offer our own financing options, often with competitive terms and interest rates, to help make the procedure more accessible.
The Real Value of Laser Eye Surgery
The true value of LASIK goes beyond cost savings on glasses or contacts. It’s about freedom, confidence, and quality of life. Whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, LASIK may be the vision correction solution you’ve been waiting for.
LASIK Eye Surgery: Your Vision Correction FAQs
The national average is $2,000 to $3,000, but you could pay as low as $1,500 in some areas or up to $5,000 for premium services.
Correcting astigmatism is a standard part of modern LASIK and does not typically add a separate charge. However, a more complex or higher prescription that includes astigmatism may fall into a higher-priced tier.
Yes, LASIK is an eligible medical expense for both Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). Using these pre-tax funds can save you 20-30% on the total cost, depending on your tax bracket.
Use FSA, HSA, CareCredit, or our guaranteed financing payment plans to spread out payments.

What our patients are saying
They Talked Me Through Financing Options
Very easy experience. At the consult the doctor answered any questions I had with such patience. They were happy to work with my FSA account for payment and talked me through financing options. The procedure itself was as smooth as could be and the surgical team was super friendly and talked me through the whole procedure. Post-op care and instructions were thorough and comprehensive. Would absolutely recommend
100% Worth The Money!
Everyone was nice and knowledgeable. The whole process was a piece of cake with their in-house financing. It’s 100% worth the money to be able to just wake up and be able to see! I’m so happy I got Lasik with The Lasik Vision Institute!
I Couldn't Be Happier with The End Result!
Everyone was friendly and personable. The time from consultation until my procedure was only 2 weeks and that's because I needed to wait due to my work schedule. My credit isn't the greatest and I was approved for financing through the in-house financing! Highly recommend.
