Emergency Eye Care
At Southern Eye Group, we believe that nothing should stand between you and the freedom of clear vision, including cost. That’s why we’re committed to offering competitive pricing, flexible financing options, and guidance every step of the way. Whether you’re exploring LASIK or another vision correction procedure for the first time or ready to move forward, our team in Fairhope and Mobile is here to help make vision correction an achievable reality.
How Much Does LASIK Cost?
Every LASIK procedure at Southern Eye Group is customized to your individual eyes and vision goals. Because no two patients are alike, we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all price. Instead, we provide a personalized quote based on your evaluation, your vision correction needs, and the technology best suited to deliver optimal results.
What influences the cost of LASIK?
- Your prescription and level of correction
- The technology used during your procedure
- The experience and training of your LASIK surgeon
- Any pre- or post-operative care required
We’re proud to offer competitive pricing, typically lower than the national average, while still using advanced technology and maintaining the highest standards of care. Call us today for a custom quote based on your individual treatment plan.
Can I Afford LASIK?
While LASIK is an upfront investment, many patients find it pays off over time—especially when compared to the recurring cost of glasses, contacts, and supplies. Beyond the financial aspect, LASIK also offers non-monetary benefits that many people value even more: convenience, freedom, and confidence.
Consider the value of LASIK when compared to:
- The yearly cost of contact lenses and solutions
- New glasses and prescription sunglasses
- Eye exams and lens replacements
- The daily hassle of visual aids
Choosing LASIK is choosing to invest in your long-term quality of life—and your future vision.
Cumulative Costs Add Up
Over the course of 20 years, the combined expenses for glasses, contacts, solutions, and prescription updates can exceed $10,000 to $15,000—significantly more than the one-time cost of LASIK. Investing in LASIK now could mean saving thousands over time.
LASIK Cost Comparisons
When you break LASIK down into manageable terms, the cost becomes easier to understand—and often easier to fit into your life.
For example, LASIK may cost less than:
One gourmet coffee per day
A night out each weekend
Your monthly phone bill
An annual vacation
Many patients are surprised to learn that LASIK is not only affordable—it’s often less than what they’re already spending on things that don’t improve their vision or quality of life.
Paying for LASIK
Is LASIK Covered by Insurance?
Most insurance plans classify LASIK as an elective procedure, which means it isn’t typically covered. However, we do everything we can to make LASIK financially accessible, with several options that can reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
Can I Use an HSA or FSA for LASIK?
Yes. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) can be used toward LASIK, allowing you to apply pre-tax dollars to your procedure. It’s a great way to reduce your total cost while using funds you’ve already set aside for healthcare expenses.
Financing the Cost of LASIK
We proudly partner with CareCredit® to offer flexible financing for qualified patients. Many individuals choose this option to spread out their payments while enjoying the benefits of LASIK right away.
Financing as low as $188/month*
Based on 24-month financing for bilateral LASIK or PRK. Restrictions may apply.
With financing terms available up to 24 months, LASIK can fit comfortably into your monthly budget—no large upfront payment required.
