The Costs Nobody Tells You About Glasses & Contacts

Glasses & contacts feel affordable because you pay for them a little at a time. But the small stuff adds up fast… and most people leave it out when they do the math in their head.

New PrescriptionsYour eyes change, so lenses get replaced every year or two.
Prescription SunglassesA second pair just to see clearly outdoors.
Backup PairsLost, scratched or sat-on glasses are never budgeted.
Torn & Lost ContactsExtra boxes to replace the ones that didn’t make it.
Solution & CasesA monthly purchase that never goes away.
Insurance PremiumsPaying every year mainly to cover frames & lenses.

Make no mistake… those costs add up. Add them to the calculator and see your real number.

Saving money is a great reason to look into LASIK. But choosing the right surgeon matters more than finding the cheapest price.

LASIK Cost Questions, Answered

Price depends on the surgeon, the technology used & where you live. Many practices quote per eye, so always ask for the total for both eyes, including pre-op testing and follow-up visits. Enter the quote you receive into the calculator to see your real savings.

Not always. Rock-bottom ads often leave out exams, enhancements or the latest laser technology. Some things in life you only do once… Get it done right! A vetted, experienced surgeon is worth far more than a discount.

In most cases, yes. LASIK is generally an eligible medical expense for HSA and FSA accounts, which means you can pay with pre-tax dollars. Check with your plan administrator for your specific rules.

Most vision plans treat LASIK as elective, but many offer member discounts through partner practices. If you no longer need glasses or contacts, you may also be able to drop that vision insurance premium, which is why it’s included in the calculator.

Modern vision correction has more options than ever. EVO ICL and Custom Lens Replacement (CLeaR) can be excellent alternatives. An experienced refractive surgeon can help you find the right fit for your eyes, not a “one-size-fits-all” procedure. Use our directory to find one near you.
