Cost of LASIK
LASIK has helped thousands of our patients achieve clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts. Still, we understand that the cost of LASIK may be a concern for you.
What you may not realize is that LASIK can actually save you thousands of dollars when you consider how much money you currently spend on corrective lenses, contact solutions. For example, did you know that the average contact lens wearer spends $6,000 in maintenance costs over the course of 10 years? Just one LASIK procedure can save you significant money over time.
At Tidewater Eye Ceenters, our goal is to provide each of our patients with the highest quality of eye care at a fair price. We’ve taken some time to compile this information on the cost of LASIK to help make your decision to undergo vision correction surgery a little bit easier.
LASIK One-Price Pricing at Tidewater Eye Centers
We know there’s no way to measure the value of clear vision, but we also know that our patients have a budget. We are proud to offer One-Price pricing for our custom laser vision correction. This means that our patients are ensured of receiving top-quality eye care with the latest technology without worrying about hidden fees or additional charges. Our One-Price pricing also includes a full year of postoperative care.
By working with a qualified medical lender, you can break the cost of LASIK down into affordable monthly payments as low as $104 per eye per month for 24 months with $0 down and 0% interest. Our patient coordinators will make sure you make a fully informed decision about paying for LASIK, so please feel free to come to us with any questions you may have.

Paying for LASIK
Because LASIK is a non-essential, elective procedure, medical insurance does not cover the cost. Still, there are many resources that can help bring LASIK into your budget:
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
A medical spending account like a FSA or HSA includes pre-tax funds that you may be able to use to pay for LASIK. To learn more about using your medical spending account for LASIK, contact your plan administrator.
Financing for LASIK
We are pleased to offer our patients LASIK financing options through CareCredit®. CareCredit makes it possible to undergo treatment now, then pay for it in affordable monthly payments over time. They offer low minimum payments, no-interest financing if paid within 6 months, and no up-front costs, prepayment penalties, or annual fees.
Can You Afford LASIK?
This is a question so many patients ask. In truth, however, you should be asking yourself if you can afford not to have LASIK. At Tidewater Eye Centers, the cost of LASIK is less than buying a cup of coffee every day, or a year of cable bills for most of our patients.
-
- One cup of coffee at a coffee shop per day
-
- One dinner out for two at a restaurant per week
-
- One mani-pedi at a nail salon per month
