LASIK

Is LASIK Worth It?

While the cost of LASIK may be troubling to some, especially considering most insurance companies don’t cover LASIK unless it is medically necessary, the procedure is best seen as an investment in your vision. When you think about how much money you’d probably spend on maintaining your glasses or contact lenses, the price starts to make a little more sense. It acts as an upfront investment on not only your vision but your happiness and well-being!

Is LASIK Permanent?

While LASIK permanently changes your cornea, it cannot prevent your vision from aging. However, if your vision does begin to change after LASIK, you can have LASIK a second time to correct any vision changes. Wondering if LASIK Eye Surgery is right for you? LASIK provides benefits that change your everyday life for the better!

Can I Afford LASIK?

While the initial price of LASIK may seem steep at first, it is actually much more affordable than you think. If you use contact lenses to correct your vision, you may be surprised to find out that how much you pay for contact lenses every year is actually quite close to how much LASIK costs. When considering LASIK lets you live without contact lenses and eyeglasses for many zyears, the cost of LASIK is actually much cheaper long-term than contact lenses!

However, if the cost of LASIK still concerns you, there are many different available options to afford the procedure. Beatific Vision offers financing options that can help make LASIK more affordable. There are also third party companies such as CareCredit that provide healthcare financing options for patients to allow procedures such as LASIK to become affordable on the spot!

One thing is certain, not only are the long-term benefits of LASIK worth the cost, but it will also be more cost-effective over the long-term!

Is LASIK Covered by Insurance?

Although many of our patients consider LASIK eye surgery a necessary and overall life-changing procedure, it is typically not covered by insurance since it is regarded as an elective procedure. If your employer offers vision plans, be sure to review the outline of benefits since some plans may cover LASIK if certain conditions are met.

Can Medical Savings Accounts Help Pay for LASIK?

Employers usually sponsor Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). LASIK is typically covered under these plans, among other vision correction procedures. Patients participating in Flexible Spending Accounts or Health Savings Accounts are able to set aside tax-free funds from their earnings for Vision Correction Procedures, such as LASIK. A maximum contribution of $2,750 is allowed per year for FSAs.
