COST OF LASIK SURGERY

One of the first questions in many people’s minds when considering a Lasik procedure is of course the cost of Lasik surgery.  Here at the Eye Center of Texas, we recognize that cost is a primary concern for many 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 Quality
• Financing for Lasik Surgery is Available

Quantity = Efficiency = Lower Cost of Lasik Surgery

At the Eye Center of Texas, we have performed tens of thousands of these Laser vision correction procedures.  We have developed safe, effective, and highly efficient procedures that help keep our costs down.  That enables us to pass those savings on to you, making the cost of Lasik surgery more affordable.

Lower Cost of Lasik Surgery Doesn’t Mean Lower Quality

At the same time, our first priority is always your sight.  We keep the cost of Lasik surgery affordable without sacrificing individual time and attention with each of 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 moments, many people are surprised by the amount of time we spend with you before and after your surgery.  The cost of Lasik surgery includes these pre-op evaluations and post-op follow-up.

We also do not sacrifice technology for the sake of keeping the cost of Lasik surgery low.  We use the latest, state-of-the art equipment and technology.  This actually helps us be more efficient as well as helping us to achieve a success rate three times better than the national average.  Another important factor in our success rate, of course, is our surgeons.  They are ranked among the best in the country.  To learn more about the technology we use, click Lasik Eye Surgery.  To learn more about our surgeons, click Lasik Surgeon.

Financing for Lasik Surgery is Available!

We at the Eye Center are sensitive to the fact that most insurance plans do not cover the cost of Lasik surgery, so the money is right out of your pocket.  It is our goal to have this life-altering procedure within the reach of everyone, so we have made arrangements with a Finance company to provide low-interest, low-hassle affordable payment plans.  The entire cost of Lasik 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 clients in the door.  Here at the Eye Center, we understand that, though the procedure is becoming more and more common, it is far from routine.  It is still eye surgery.  By charging an affordable but fair price, we are working to keep the procedure safe and effective yet bring the cost of Lasik surgery within the financial reach of most people.

Remember…
If you are comparing several providers, the cost of Lasik surgery is only one aspect to consider.  Be sure to ask questions like:

• How many procedures does your practice do in the course of a year?
• Is your eye surgeon certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology?
• To whom do other eye doctors in the  area refer their patients and family?
• How long have you been in business?
• What percentage of people that come to you are considered candidates for Lasik?
• How long is your pre-op 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?



 Featured Article: LASIK…How Much Does it Cost?

[Posted on March 29]

One of the first questions most people ask when considering LASIK is…”what is the cost of Lasik surgery?”.  The second question is…” is the price going to go down if I wait a few more years”?  If you want the best result for your eyes…then don’t base your decision on cost…and don’t wait because there is no history to suggest that the price will go down over time.

At the Eye Center of Texas, we recognize that cost is an important factor, but when it’s all said and done…shouldn’t the LASIK surgeon and his/her success rate be the most important thing one should consider when thinking about LASIK? 

Dr. Edward Wade of the Eye Center of Texas has been in private practice since 1989.  He specializes in refractive surgery and has consistently been in the forefront of new technologies and only offers the Custom IntraLase “iLASIK” (blade free) procedure to his patients.  He has performed over 40,000 LASK procedures and VISX named him one of the ‘Top 100 LASIK surgeons in the United States’.  He has earned an excellent reputation among his peers; in fact he is called the “doctor’s doctor”, meaning more doctors refer their patients to him than any other LASIK surgeon in Houston.

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

• How many LASIK procedures has your surgeon preformed?
• How long have you been in business?
• What percentage of people that come to you are considered candidates for LASIK?
• How long is your pre-op evaluation?
• What is your enhancement rate (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?

I once heard someone say “These are your eyes…not a piece of furniture!  Don’t let price get in your way when considering LASIK!”  At the Eye Center of Texas, our first priority is always your sight and we don’t sacrifice technology for the sake of keeping the cost of Lasik surgery low.
