How much does LASIK cost?
Transparent Pricing For Vision Care
LASIK prices vary from practice to practice & few list a price before you come through the door. This is because their pricing depends on whether or not you have astigmatism, the strength of your prescription, if you want to insure enhancements, and if topography guided treatment is necessary. Prices increase with each of these items. We don;t do any of that! We have a flat price of $5000 for bilateral LASIK, including all your pre- and post op visits, and medications. We use only the best diagnostics and lasers & include a lifetime enhancements gaurantee! To fit your budget, we offer 24 mth financing; i.e. ~$200 with no early repayment penalties.
In the United States, the average cost of LASIK is $5000
Why does LASIK cost so much?
The truth is, it doesn’t. Just like it is cheaper to buy a car than to lease in the long term, so too LASIK lets you own your vision rather than renting it from the glasses and contact lens industry. And you needn’t worry about recurring costs, new glasses, more contacts, etc. Not only is LASIK more affordable long term, it is also safer than wearing contact lenses & provides better vision without the hassles of contact lens.
Owning vs. renting your vision:
Most people spend more than $25,000 on glasses, contact lenses, solution, and eye exams, over their lifetimes. That’s like renting your vision from the glasses and contacts lens industry. Worst of all, neither modality truly corrects your vision whereas LASIK or ICLs are a one time cost and permanent solution.
Technology
The main factor that drives the cost of LASIK is the quality of lasers used. These leverage advanced technologies to yield the precision needed to write letters on a single hair. Two different laser platforms are needed for LASIK procedures, and the most advanced LASIK procedures aren’t possible without using BOTH.
The first laser creates a computer guided flap
The second reshapes the cornea
Your Surgeon
The most important part of vision correction is the surgeon using those lasers. Surgeon factors make all the difference. While lasers are critical to LASIK, they are merely tools. It takes years of education, training, & experience to become adept at vision correction. When considering vision correction, look for someone who explains the procedure, listens to your concerns, & has put in the time to be best in class. During your initial consultation, you’ll meet with Dr. Singh to create a vision correction plan that meets your needs. Dr. Singh will make sure you’re comfortable & your questions are answered. Post-op, Dr. Singh will follow you closely to ensure things are going well.

What about LASIK discounts?
Don’t fall for bait-and-switch techniques that seek to get you through the door. You go for a free consultation at a discount center with the “bait” being discounted LASIK. The “switch” happens when the salesperson tells you based on your testing, you don’t qualify for the discount (no one ever does). Your consultation is then riddled with upsells to better laser technology, extended post-op aftercare, & enhancements.
The final price after upcharges & add-ons ultimately ends up far above advertised prices.
They say all the money in the world never bought an ounce of time, so we skip the shenanigans and have flat pricing of $5000 for Bilateral LASIK & cataract surgery. RLE and ICLs are $8-9000 for bilateral surgery, commensurate with the higher complexity of those procedures.
Refractive surgery is life-changing. We hope you trust us to do what’s best for you. This is personalized care requiring specific expertise & is not assembly line medicine!
DISCOUNTS ARE USED TO SELL COMMODITIES. YOUR VISION IS A PRICELESS ASSET, DON’T DISCOUNT IT.
All LASIK is not the same.
If you need brain surgery, will you search for a discount neurosurgeon? Your vision is just as critical. If a LASIK center is charging less than average, ask yourself how they can do that. What shortcuts are they taking, or technology are they skimping on to save costs? Those perceived savings are not in your best interest. Spend more, once. Get a great outcome, and move forward with your life! You’ll never think about it again!
