How can I Pay for LASIK?

LASIK has the potential to dramatically improve your uncorrected vision and reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses and contact lenses. LASIK is also expensive. Fortunately, many eye surgeons offer LASIK financing to help you plan for this cost.

Third-Party Financing: Ask your LASIK surgeon if he or she works with any outside financing companies. These companies may give you a loan to pay for your LASIK surgery, and you will pay the loan back in increments.

The nature of these loans varies widely. There are short-term and long-term loans with different monthly payments and various interest rates. Ask your LASIK surgeon's financing department how you can apply for these loans.

In-House Financing: Some LASIK surgeons have their own payment plans. Your surgeon may let you pay a portion of your surgery every month, for a predetermined number of months. Oftentimes these in-house payment plans do not have interest. Not all surgeons offer such options however.

To learn more about your LASIK options, please contact an experienced eye surgeon in your area.
