LASIK Cost in 2024: Price Range, Variables, and Financing Options

LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) typically costs $2,000–$5,000 per eye in the U.S. (2024).

Cost Drivers

• Technology: bladeless (femtosecond) vs. microkeratome; wavefront-guided vs. conventional.
• Surgeon experience and reputation.
• Geographic market.
• Included services: preoperative workup, enhancements, postoperative care, medications.

Financial Considerations

• Elective; rarely covered by medical insurance (some vision plans offer discounts).
• HSA/FSA eligible.
• Many practices offer 0% financing (12–24 months) or package pricing for bilateral surgery.

Obtain written quotes from 2–3 board-certified refractive surgeons; confirm what is included.
