Cost of LASIK Surgery

One of the first questions people ask when considering LASIK eye surgery is: what is the cost? At the Eye Center of Texas, we recognize the cost is a primary concern for patients, often second only to the quality of care and the results that you see from your procedure. Let’s look at three main points around the cost of LASIK Surgery:

  • Quantity = Efficiency = Lower Cost of LASIK Surgery
  • Lower Cost of LASIK Surgery Doesn’t Mean Lower Patient Quality/Patient Outcomes
  • Financing for LASIK Surgery is Available

Quantity = Efficiency = Lower cost of LASIK surgery

At the Eye Center of Texas, Dr. Edward Wade has performed over 45,000 and Dr. Mark Mayo has performed over 10,000 Laser vision correction procedures.  Both surgeons believes all patients have the right to have LASIK vision correction by an experienced surgeon at a fair and affordable price, therefore we have developed safe, effective, and highly efficient procedures that help keep our cost of surgery down. This enables us to pass the savings on to the patient, making the cost of the procedure affordable.

Lower cost of LASIK surgery doesn’t mean lower quality

At the same time, our first priority is always the patient and making sure we give our patients the best possible outcome. We keep the cost of LASIK affordable without sacrificing time and attention with our patients. You are important to us! You will be supported by a team of highly trained eye care professionals and support staff throughout the entire procedure. Though the procedure itself may only take a few minutes, people are surprised by the amount of time we spend with you before and after your surgery. The cost of surgery includes pre-op evaluations and post-op appointments for the first year as well as our “limited lifetime warranty”.

We also do not sacrifice technology for the sake of keeping the cost of affordable. We use the latest, state-of-the art equipment and technology. Another important factor in our success rate is our surgeons. Dr. Wade has been named one of the Top Ten LASIK Surgeons in the country and has preformed over 45,000 LASIK procedures and Dr. Mayo is on TOP DOCTORS in Houston listings.  

Financing for LASIK surgery is available!

The Eye Center is sensitive to the fact that insurance plans do not cover LASIK surgery, so the money is right out of your pocket. It is our goal to make this life-altering procedure within the reach of everyone, so we have made arrangements with a Care Credit to provide 0% interest affordable payment plans. The cost of this surgery may be under $100 a month! That is a small price to pay for your vision (less than a cup of Starbucks coffee per day!).

Some places may offer “discount” LASIK surgery just to get patients in the door. The Eye Center of Texas understands that, though the procedure has become more and more common, it is far from routine. It is still eye surgery. By charging an affordable but fair price, we are able to keep the procedure extremely safe yet bring the cost within the financial reach of most people.

Remember…

If you are comparing several LASIK centers, the cost of surgery is only one aspect to consider. Be sure to ask questions like:

  • How many procedures does your LASIK surgeon do over the course of a year?
  • Is your surgeon certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology?
  • How many eye doctors refer their patients/family to your surgeon?
  • How long has your surgeon been doing LASIK?
  • What percentage of people that come to you are considered good candidates for LASIK?
  • What tests are included in your pre-op LASIK evaluation?
  • What are your success rates vs. your rates for enhancements (follow up corrective surgery)?
  • What kind of equipment do you use and do you move it around? (Sometimes the mobile LASIK equipment is less reliable than the larger, stationary equipment)
  • What all is included in the cost of LASIK surgery at your practice?
