Affordable Vision Is Within Your Reach

One of the first questions you may have about LASIK is, “How much does it cost?” You will hear a wide range of answers from $299 to $3,000 per eye. It can be confusing, so keep these points in mind as you research and consider your LASIK surgery:

 

• Prices can vary based on your doctor, your prescription, and the technology used such as Custom or Bladeless LASIK.
• Check to see if the price quoted includes all of the pre- and post-surgery follow-up exams.  Is there an option for extended care such as the Lifetime Commitments Program offered at TLC?  
• The best way to determine the cost of your LASIK is to schedule a free LASIK Consultation with the OPI Team.  Their  comprehnsive testing can determine the type or procedure specifically suited for your vision and they can provide you with accurate cost figures based on those needs.  

Making LASIK Affordable

OPI and TLC are focused on setting the highest standards in the industry while providing LASIK at an affordable cost. Listed below are some programs that can help you finance your LASIK procedure with monthly payments that fit into your monthly budget.  

 

• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA): An FSA is a benefit offered by employers that allows employees to pay for eligible health care expenses, such as LASIK, with pre-tax dollars.  You can save up to 30% by using an FSA account to pay for LASIK.  
  
   
• Insurance: Some health insurance plans and employers have arrangements with TLC that could substantially reduce the cost of LASIK. Ask an OPI or TLC associate if your plan or employer participates.  
  
   
• Tax Benefits: While LASIK can be deemed elective and not covered by insurance, it may be tax deductible depending on your filing status. Consult with your accountant for details. Many patients use their tax refund to pay for their LASIK procedure.
  
   
• Credit Cards: This may be a good option particularly with a card that carries a low interest rate, or offers points or rewards.
  
   
• CARE Credit: A revolving line of credit that can be used by an individual or family to pay for vision and eye care treatments.  CARE Credit offers an alternative to consumer credit cards, has flexible options, and there is no annual fee.  Promotional Payment Plans offered by CARE Credit include a No Interest Option and a Low Interest Extended Payment Plan, both of which require minimum monthly payments.
•  
• Financing: TLC offers 0% financing for 12 months with no down payment required (subject to credit approval). Or, customize your loan by selecting the amount you need and your repayment terms.
