The doctor will go over all potential side effects and any preparations you should do, as well as eye care following the procedure.

Lasik surgery is charged per eye. In other words, the quote you receive will be for the Lasik surgery cost for one eye. If you have both eyes done, then you should double that amount to get the total price. The Lasik cost includes your eye exam and any postoperative care related to the surgery.

Care Credit provides financial credit for medical procedures, which may not be covered by insurance.

Successful Lasik surgery helps patients become free of the need for glasses or contacts. The money patients save by not having to wear corrective lenses easily makes up for the initial cost of Lasik surgery.
