LASIK could save you
Some centers advertise “$299 LASIK,” but these prices often apply to only a small percentage of patients—or exclude essential services like exams, post-operative care, or advanced laser technology.
At Southwest Eye Institute, your price is transparent and never changes based on your prescription. We use only the most advanced all-laser technology and include comprehensive care at every step of the way.
Absolutely. LASIK is more than a procedure—it’s a long-term investment in your quality of life.
Benefits include:
At Southwest Eye Institute, patients have a variety of ways to help make LASIK affordable — ask one of our patient counselors about custom payment options.
The LASIK procedure is often considered an elective or cosmetic surgery, which means many insurance companies may not cover LASIK. Most patients end up paying for the majority (if not all) of the procedure out of pocket. It’s still very much worth asking your insurance company about your options and if your policy includes a benefit for advanced vision correction. Each person’s needs and circumstances are different.
Many employers offer flexible spending accounts to help offset medical expenses. These accounts may allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for certain medical costs, including procedures like LASIK.
