How Much is LASIK? Let’s Break Down the Average Cost of LASIK Eye Surgery

The average cost of LASIK in the United States is $2,246 per eye¹, and there’s a lot to know about why prices can vary regionally and even within a given city like San Antonio. For point of comparison, you may know that the average cost of a college education is about $35,000 per year. College can obviously cost a lot more or a lot less depending on the location, academic reputation, likelihood of landing your dream job, room and board—all things that affect the value of the education.² Getting LASIK is also an investment in your future at a small fraction of the cost. In fact, you can get LASIK for about the same cost as half a year of just the room and board part of college. Put another way, this is also about the same amount you would otherwise spend on glasses and contacts while working toward a four-year degree.

Being able to wake up and see without extra gear and plastic in your eyes can help you succeed in professions like being a first responder, special forces military, martial arts, and even being a chef– ever leaned over to smell your favorite dish, only to have your glasses fog up on you? Just like a much bigger investment in your education, LASIK at Parkhurst NuVision is also custom fit to your eye prescription, unique eye anatomy, and particular needs.

The cost of LASIK is certainly important, but the value of LASIK has to do with how much it improves your life, what sorts of activities you need to use your vision for, and the longevity you should expect out of your laser eye surgery.

Renting Vs. Buying — The Lifetime Value of Your LASIK Procedure

Not only does wearing glasses and contacts hold you back from some of things you want to do, it is also “renting” rather than “owning” your vision. With contacts and glasses, your vision improvement is temporary, and you pay someone else for it over and over again. Alternatively, LASIK is an investment in yourself, and much more like the financial benefit you get when you buy your own home, once it is paid off, you have permanent vision correction. It’s yours! Owning your vision is much better. Just like owning a home can give you a sense of freedom, LASIK can empower you to work, play, and live your life uninhibited. Many of the people we’ve helped with LASIK tell us they used to feel like they were hiding behind their glasses, but after LASIK, they’ve had a new sense of confidence, and a total new sense of freedom from paying to put plastic in their eyes. Additionally, environmentally savvy patients feel much better knowing that they are no longer contributing to the microplastics problem of contact lenses, which often end up in waterways where they harm fish and other sea life.

Common Questions About the Price of LASIK

Can I use my FSA or HSA for LASIK?

Yes, if you have a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA), these tax-advantaged plans can be a great way to pay for LASIK. Check with your plan administrator for details.

Will my insurance cover LASIK?

The vast majority of health and vision insurance plans consider LASIK and other laser vision correction surgeries to be elective procedures, therefore they do not cover the cost of LASIK. We hope that will change in the future, as more people (and insurance companies) realize that LASIK is an efficient way to correct vision and improve people’s overall health and well-being.
