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.

The Cost of PRK Eye Surgery
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) is a well-regarded laser eye surgery that corrects vision by reshaping the cornea. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the PRK procedure is often preferred over LASIK for patients with thinner corneas or other specific conditions like dry eyes, or for those who have a very active lifestyle or job. Understanding the cost of PRK is essential for anyone considering this vision correction option.
Average Cost of PRK
The cost of PRK surgery can vary significantly based on several factors, including the surgeon’s experience, the location of the clinic, and the specific technology used.
On average, here’s what you can expect:
National Average: The average cost for PRK surgery ranges from $2,000 to $4,000 for both eyes.
Factors Influencing Cost: The type of laser technology, pre- and post-operative care, and geographic location can all affect the final price.
LasikPlus Cost: At LasikPlus, our primary objective is to offer each patient a tailored treatment plan that aligns with their vision correction needs. We take pride in providing affordable LASIK eye surgery to eligible candidates, with pricing typically ranging from $1,099 to just over $2,899 per eye. Our transparent pricing ensures that patients know exactly what to expect, with no hidden fees or surprises.
Beyond the Sticker Price: Additional Considerations
While the cost of PRK is a significant factor, there are other important considerations:
Insurance Coverage: PRK is generally considered an elective surgery, so most insurance plans won’t cover the entire cost. However, some plans might offer partial coverage for pre-operative evaluations.
Financing Options: Many eye surgery centers, including LasikPlus, offer financing plans to help spread the cost over manageable monthly payments. Explore these options to make PRK more financially accessible.
Consultation is Key: Scheduling a consultation with Lasikplus is the first step in determining if you’re a candidate for the procedure, receiving a firm price quote, vision correction options, and more.

Our LASIK self-test is a useful starting point, but it can’t replace a professional evaluation by our LASIK specialist.

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. LASIK 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 qualified LASIK doctors to determine if the procedure is right for you.

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.
