Frequently Asked Questions: Laser Eye Surgery

It’s important to be informed about any surgery ahead of time, but that often means asking the right questions. To help you, we’ve compiled some of the most frequently asked questions about laser eye surgery to get you started. For more detailed information, keep reading below!

What is laser eye surgery?


Laser eye surgery, like LASIK or PRK, is a refractive procedure that uses a laser to correct the shape of your cornea to improve your vision.  

Can anyone get laser eye surgery?

Unfortunately, laser eye surgery isn’t suitable for everyone. Your eye surgeon will determine whether it’s a good match for you based on your overall health, your age, your vision issues, your eye health, and your corneas. 

Is laser eye surgery safe?

Laser eye surgeries like LASIK and PRK are incredibly safe and effective. These procedures have extremely low complication rates and very high patient satisfaction rates. 

How much does laser eye surgery cost?

That depends on a number of factors, including your vision prescription, your unique eyes and vision goals, the type of procedure you choose, and the type of technology used during your surgery. In order to find out your costs, it’s important to schedule an initial consultation with your preferred provider. 

Is financing available for laser eye surgery?

Of course! Contact the practice directly to discuss your financing options and find out if you qualify for any coverage through your insurance or other health plan or discount program.

Insurance Information: Is LASIK Covered by Insurance?

While LASIK is not typically covered by medical insurance, some plans may provide partial coverage. When you call us to discuss your LASIK costs, make sure to ask, “Is LASIK covered by insurance for me?” Our financial specialists can help you find out whether your plan provides any coverage for your procedure.
