How to use Your FSA or HSA TO Pay for LASIK?

Using the money in your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Saving Account (HSA) is a great way to pay for LASIK eye surgery and save money through pre-tax dollars

Is LASIK eye surgery worth it?

LASIK can be worth it for many people who are seeking freedom from the annoyance of wearing glasses or contacts. <a href="http://lasik.com">LASIK</a> is a safe and effective procedure that has been performed on millions of people. Benefits of LASIK include improved vision, greater convenience, and reduced long-term costs compared to purchasing glasses or contacts over time. LASIK can make daily activities easier and more convenient, especially when it comes to activities that are difficult or inconvenient with glasses or contacts. For example, LASIK can make it easier to care for a child in the middle of the night, or to participate in sports or other recreational activities without worrying about glasses or contacts getting in the way. Each person’s eyes are different, and the benefits of LASIK vary from patient-to-patient. Consult with one of our <a href="https://www.lasikplus.com/eye-care-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qualified LASIK doctors</a> to determine if the procedure is right for you.

What is bladeless or all-laser LASIK?

Bladeless LASIK means that the corneal flap, created to expose the cornea to be reshaped by the excimer laser, is created using a laser rather than a bladed microkeratome, which was used when LASIK was first introduced. This advanced technology allows more patients to be candidates, including those who were previously not candidates due to thin corneas.

What Is “Custom” LASIK?

Standard or conventional LASIK uses the patient’s prescription alone as the guide to treating a patient’s refractive error - nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Custom LASIK refers to computer-optimized LASIK and uses the “wavefront” technology to measure the eye from front to back and creates a three-dimensional (3-D) image or mapping of the eye. This corneal mapping, which is like the fingerprint of each patient’s eye, allows your LASIK surgeon to not only treat the refractive error but the higher-order aberrations – the peaks and valleys of the cornea. These aberrations include poor night vision, glares and haloes, starbursts, and low-contrast vision problems. With computer-optimized technology, we can actually soften that transition to recreate the round shape of the cornea. It can decrease the chance of getting glares and halos. It’s better for patients and better for maintaining the stability of the procedure afterward. To learn more about Custom LASIK, please read the article, <a href="https://www.lasikplus.com/lasik-resources/procedure/what-is-custom-lasik/">What is Custom LASIK</a> by LasikPlus Dallas LASIK surgeon, Dr. Robert Smith.

Does LasikPlus offer SMILE?

At LasikPlus, we carefully evaluate and consider technology to ensure it represents an advance in the care of and clinical outcomes achieved for our patients. This deliberately conservative philosophy means that rather than adopting technology broad-scale and potentially exposing patients to any potential clinical issues that could arise as more procedures are performed and more experience is gained, we often pause on new technology until more is learned about the results provided. This includes the newly introduced ReLEx SMILE® technology. ReLEx SMILE®, which involves the surgeon creating a small keyhole incision in the cornea through which a tiny amount of tissue is removed, while intriguing, its novelty remains a concern for LasikPlus, so we do not yet current offer SMILE.

Advanced LASIK Technology

Part of our heritage at LasikPlus includes our long-standing commitment to providing patients state-of-the-art technology. As an academic surgeon and patient-centric physician, our founder, Dr. Stephen Joffe has long embraced the need to provide his fellow surgeons a variety of advanced technology to help their patients achieve the best clinical results. During our 25 years as an industry leader, LasikPlus has offered patients multiple excimer laser platforms to customize the treatment to their unique and individual vision correction needs. LasikPlus was of the first LASIK providers in the U.S. to offer patients Custom Wavefront technology and first adopted All-Laser, bladeless femtosecond technology over 10 years ago. In fact, LasikPlus-affiliated surgeons are among the most experienced All-Laser LASIK surgeons in the U.S., with many surgeons having each safely performed tens of thousands of such procedures. Today, we offer patients both Wavefront-Optimized and Wavefront-Guided LASIK procedures. The Custom Wavefront LASIK technology we use was the first laser system in the U.S. to improve nighttime glare and halo, as certified by the FDA. This technology has also been actively embraced by various branches of the U.S. military, including NASA and the United States Air Force, Army, and Navy. In addition to the actual excimer lasers used to perform LASIK eye surgery, we have ensured our medical team has access to advanced diagnostic equipment which is used during your FREE LASIK consultation to determine if you are a safe candidate for one of our procedures. Our high-resolution Pentacam^® provides imagery of your eye’s shape and size, including the curvature and corneal thickness, all factors important in determining your safe candidacy. We also conduct topographic/tomographic testing to look at the complete surface of your eye so we can provide the treatment plan optimized for you.

If you get LASIK and currently wear contacts, how much will you save over your lifetime?

Your Age Range:

Your Contacts Type:

††Estimated cost of your contacts over time:

††Based on the selected age and type of contact lenses costs are estimates provided for comparison purposes only. Contact lens cost estimate excludes the cost of an annual routine eye exam. Contact lens costs will vary.

When thinking about LASIK, you should consider the cost of not having LASIK. When you take into account the amount of money you will spend over time as a glasses and/or contact lens wearer, the one-time cost of LASIK may come into focus as the better option. Not to mention to the hassle of buying contacts and solutions, putting contacts in, or searching for your glasses every time you wake up. Think about what you could do with that long-term savings of money and your time! In addition to the monetary and time savings provided by having LASIK – you will be helping the environment. Contact lenses are microplastics which are very slow to degrade. About 20% of contact lens wearers simply flush their old lenses, sending these small plastics into our waterways. Considering a large number of contact lens wearers, this is about 9 million pairs or 18 million individual contacts placed into our waterways. You can read more about the environmental damages caused by contact lens disposal here.

Brett

LasikPlus Indianapolis Vision Center

The staff was fantastic in every way I could imagine. They always had an answer for any questions I had. I was able to get same day treatment. Care credit setup in minutes to pay over time in stead of all at once. And the icing on the cake the doctor himself called me 2hr AFTER closing time to ask me how I was feeling! I was hoping for good things. But they blew my expectations out of the water for sure. Would recommend to any of my friends without hesitation.

Jamie Baldwin

LasikPlus Orlando Vision Center

Absolutely amazing experience! Everyone was so nice and patient with any questions you have. That along with the 12 month no interest care credit made getting Lasik a no brainer! Highly recommend!

Renée Nae

LasikPlus Vision Center

Dr. Pasternak & all of the LASIK Plus staff was AMAZING!!! They each have a calming tone explaining everything to put your anxiety at ease, they have patience, yet don’t keep you waiting for long periods of time. Most people have been considering LASIK for years & putting it off— just do it! They even have Care Credit financing & monthly specials ($1,000 off) if you need it. Please schedule your consultation— you deserve to see clearly too. I know you’re tired of glasses/contacts, or you wouldn’t still be reading reviews. Make the call! The consultation is free.

Jasmine Pearsall

LasikPlus Portland Vision Center

My experience from start to finish was pleasant. The exam to determine eligibility was the longest appointment out of the three I went to, and the staff answered all questions, addressed any concerns, and they have an incredible financing deal through Care Credit. Dr. Cornell and his team made me feel at ease (and I was really scared when it came to the procedure itself). After a nap following the procedure, I woke up with 20/20 vision and was in disbelief. I would recommend this practice to anyone considering Lasik.

Mathew Wilson

LasikPlus Orlando Vision Center

I had a great experience. They have great financing and explained the whole process completely to myself and my wife when she had the procedure done. My vision is great and so is hers with neither of us needing glasses anymore.

Anthony Mckay

LasikPlus Pittsburgh Vision Center

Absolutely the Best thing I ever did. Fast, Affordable, and easy financing. I’m goin on 50 wore glasses since I was 15yrs old, got this done last year and corrected near and far sight. Highly recommend.

Lisa Van Slyke

LasikPlus Dallas Vision Center

I had a wonderful experience at Lasik Plus in Plano. I ultimately chose this location because of Dr. Smith’s experience with military fighter pilots and am glad I did. The staff is so helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Katie was so patient with me during my initial eye exam and while she discussed the procedure and my options with me. Dr. Michael Do was gentle and kind, and was patient with me during his part of my exam and consultation and really took time to answer my questions. I only had one: which option was best for me. Even the financing staff was great. I had a smooth procedure and my recovery has been great. I’m less than a week into recovery and wake up every morning in awe of the world around me because I wasn’t able to enjoy the view without putting on my glasses first. I’m 45 (for those of you older birds who aren’t sure if this is for you) and chose to have my eyes corrected to eagle eyes as opposed to mono vision in each eye. I am so pleased with my results and highly recommend Lasik Plus of Plano.
