How to Make LASIK Affordable

The benefits of LASIK extend far beyond the immediate improvement in sight, they touch every part of your day-to-day experience, from waking up in the morning to enjoying outdoor activities without the hassle of glasses or contacts. However, we understand that the cost of LASIK can seem daunting, and concerns about affordability may deter some from pursuing this transformative procedure. At 20/20 Institute, we don’t want LASIK costs to be a barrier to achieving your dreams.

LASIK May Offer Long-Term Savings

Investing in LASIK means investing in a future where the ongoing costs and inconveniences of prescription eyewear are significantly reduced or eliminated. Over the years, the savings on glasses, contacts, solutions, and eye exams can add up, making LASIK a financially prudent option in many cases. Equally important, LASIK is an investment in your quality of life, offering you the chance to live without constant dependency on corrective eyewear.

Even with this knowledge, LASIK costs are a factor that must be considered before deciding to have the procedure. That’s why, at 20/20 Institute, we offer payment options and plans to help make LASIK more affordable. This helps to ensure that you can achieve the vision you deserve without having to worry about years-long or high-interest payment plans that can add to financial stress and anxiety.

What Is Included in the Cost of LASIK at 20/20 Institute?

At 20/20 Institute, we believe in transparency when it comes to the cost of LASIK. Our patients need to understand that several factors influence LASIK pricing, all of which contribute to the high-quality care you receive. These include:

Advanced Technology

We utilize Bladeless Wavefront Optimized® Custom LASIK technology, allowing for completely customized and precise corrections based on the unique characteristics of each patient’s eyes. This technology enhances the accuracy of the procedure, significantly reducing the risks of side effects such as glare and halos at night.

Experienced Specialists

Our team consists of some of the most skilled and experienced LASIK specialists in the industry. Each of our LASIK doctors has a proven track record of success and is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of patient care. The expertise of our specialists works to make our procedures safe and exceptionally effective. In fact, 99.67% of our LASIK patients have achieved 20/20 vision or better.*

At 20/20 Institute, we take a patient-first approach, allowing us to provide genuine care for each person we treat. Our LASIK pricing is comprehensive. It covers every aspect of the process—from your preoperative evaluation through a full year of follow-up care—and is designed to provide peace of mind, knowing that every necessary step is covered.

Cautionary Advice for Low-Cost LASIK

The allure of low-cost LASIK can often lead to misleading advertising tactics. In Denver, for example, some advertisements might feature enticingly low starting prices, such as $250 per eye. However, the reality is that such offers typically apply to a very small percentage of cases. Most patients find that the actual cost aligns more closely with the national average, which ranges from $2,000 to $3,000 per eye after initial consultations and assessments.

While some providers may offer LASIK using older technologies at a reduced cost, it’s important to consider the enhancements in safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction associated with newer methods. Advanced LASIK technologies have significantly improved over the last two decades, offering better outcomes and reduced complications. Older technology simply cannot match the precision and results offered by more modern approaches.

Our commitment to using the latest technology, coupled with conservative candidacy criteria, ensures that we provide not only top-tier results but also maintain the highest standards of patient care. During your FREE LASIK consultation at our Downtown Denver, Englewood, or Westminster office, we would be happy to discuss our technology, experience, and proven results to help you decide if we are the right provider for your needs.

Financing LASIK Surgery

At 20/20 Institute, we offer a variety of flexible financing options designed to fit different budgets and financial situations:

Flexible Payment Plans

We understand that upfront costs can be a barrier for many when considering LASIK. That’s why we offer customized payment plans that allow you to spread the cost of the procedure over time. These plans can be tailored to match your financial needs, reducing the burden of a lump sum payment by breaking it down into manageable monthly installments.

No Hidden Costs

Our financing plans are transparent—what you see is what you get. We ensure that all terms and conditions are clearly explained upfront, so there are no surprises. We aim to remove financial barriers and make LASIK accessible to those who wish to improve their vision and quality of life.

These financing arrangements are part of our commitment to providing patient-centered care. Our patient counselors are available to discuss these options in detail, helping you find the best plan that suits your financial circumstances.

Utilizing Insurance and Savings Accounts

While LASIK is frequently categorized as an elective procedure and not typically covered by standard health insurance plans, there are still several effective ways to manage and reduce the costs associated with this life-enhancing surgery:

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)

One of the most advantageous methods for funding LASIK is through the use of HSAs or FSAs. These accounts allow you to use pre-tax dollars to cover medical expenses, including LASIK. By using these pre-tax funds, you can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs, making the procedure more affordable. Additionally, utilizing HSAs or FSAs can provide tax benefits, as contributions to these accounts are not subject to federal income taxes, thus lowering your taxable income.

Employer-Sponsored Benefits

In addition to FSAs and HSAs, some employers may offer additional vision care benefits that can be applied towards LASIK. It’s worth checking with your HR department to see if there are any employer-sponsored health benefits or wellness programs that could help offset the cost of your procedure.

Insurance Discounts

Vision insurance typically covers some of the costs associated with annual eye exams. Many offer discounts for prescription eyewear as well. Few, however, offer coverage for vision correction surgeries like LASIK, ICLs, or PRK. However, while traditional insurance is unlikely to cover the procedure, 20/20 Institute offers a fee reduction to all patients with vision insurance plans. This allows patients to benefit from plans they have paid into regardless of the coverage offered for elective procedures.

At 20/20 Institute, we are dedicated to making LASIK as accessible as possible. Our knowledgeable staff is here to help you explore all financial options available, including how to best utilize insurance and savings accounts to make your vision correction journey affordable. We encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss these possibilities in greater detail.
