What does LASIK eye surgery cost?

Making LASIK Surgery Affordable

New York LASIK surgery makes a great deal of financial sense. LASIK surgery is actually a less expensive alternative to contact lenses. When you calculate the cost over your lifetime of lens fitting, lens replacements, cleaning systems, etc., having LASIK Laser Vision Correction is far less expensive. Our staff will work with you to show you how LASIK surgery can save you money in the long term and will match you with an affordable payment plan. In fact, you may find that the cost of having your vision corrected with LASIK surgery may actually be less than the cost of your monthly cell phone bill.

We will provide you with comprehensive information on your payment options as well as your insurance coverage for LASIK surgery.

Flexible Spending Plans to Pay for LASIK

One of the best ways to reduce your costs is with a flexible spending health plan. Many employer health plans include flexible spending accounts that allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for eligible health care related expenses, such as LASIK surgery. Depending upon your income and tax bracket, this could save you as much as $2,000.

Contributions to these plans are made through automatic and regular deductions from your paychecks. Since the funds placed in the account are not taxed, they go much further in covering eligible medical expenses. LASIK surgery is often categorized as an eligible expense, which means that your flexible benefits options can help you pay for the correction of your nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism. For more information on this type of plan, consult with your health insurance benefits administrator.

Save Money Over Time with LASIK Surgery

As we age, our eyes change with every passing year. If you’re finding that you have to buy new glasses every few months or adjust your prescription each year, LASIK surgery might be a better option for you. Why spend hundreds of dollars every time you have to visit the eye doctor, get fitted for new glasses or contacts and then order specially made glasses for home, work and sports? LASIK eye surgery with New York’s Fifth Avenue Eye Center can not only save you money over time, but also provide you with the peace of mind of enhanced vision without the aid of glasses or contacts.

To get started, all you need to do is contact us for a screening exam. Our expert surgeon, Dr. Ilan Cohen, will work personally with you to determine if you’re a candidate for LASIK surgery. We use the latest technology in computer imagery to scan your cornea so that we can develop a personalized plan for your needs at an affordable rate. The process is quick and painless and your options will be thoroughly explained so that you can make the best choice for your health and preferences.
