Frequently Asked Questions

How much does LASIK cost?
LASIK costs $2,000-$3,500 per eye on average, or $4,000-$7,000 for both eyes. Traditional LASIK is less expensive ($1,500-$2,500/eye), while all-laser bladeless LASIK and SMILE cost more ($2,500-$3,500/eye). Very low advertised prices often exclude necessary add-ons.
Is LASIK worth the cost?
For most patients, LASIK pays for itself within 5-10 years compared to ongoing glasses and contacts costs. With results lasting 20+ years and a 96% satisfaction rate, it is generally considered a worthwhile investment. However, suitability depends on eye health, age, and prescription stability.
