If you’re considering LASIK in New York City, Brooklyn, or the surrounding area, one of the most common questions is about cost. While you may see advertisements for low-cost LASIK, pricing varies based on several factors, including your unique vision needs, the technology used, and the expertise of your surgeon. At I Love LASIK in NYC, we focus on providing personalized, high-quality care rather than one-size-fits-all pricing. This page will help you understand the factors that influence LASIK pricing, long-term cost savings, and payment options to make vision correction more affordable.

How Much Does LASIK Cost?

At I Love LASIK, we recognize that cost is an important factor when considering vision correction surgery. You may have seen advertisements promoting LASIK at extremely low prices, but these often apply only to minimal prescriptions or come with hidden fees. The reality is that LASIK is a highly customized procedure, and the final cost reflects the level of personalization required to achieve your best possible vision.

Several factors influence the cost of LASIK:

  • Personalized Treatment Plan: Your vision is unique, and so is your LASIK procedure. Dr. Khosrof customizes every treatment based on your prescription, eye anatomy, and vision goals.
  • Advanced Technology: State-of-the-art diagnostic tools and laser systems enhance precision and optimize results, contributing to the overall investment.
  • Comprehensive Care: The cost of LASIK encompasses more than just the procedure itself. It includes thorough pre-operative evaluations, post-operative care, and long-term follow-up to ensure the best outcomes.

Since every patient’s eyes and needs are different, we cannot provide a specific quote until after a comprehensive consultation. During this appointment, Dr. Khosrof will assess your vision, discuss your options, and provide a transparent breakdown of costs so you can make an informed decision about your care.

What Goes Into the Cost of LASIK?

At I Love LASIK, our focus is on providing exceptional care, advanced technology, and a personalized experience—without hidden fees or unexpected costs. When comparing LASIK providers, it’s important to consider not just the price, but what’s included in your treatment.

At our practice, we include:

  • Pre-operative evaluations – We take the time to ensure you’re a good candidate for LASIK and answer all your questions, without rushing the process. There is a $300 fee for initial LASIK consultations, but that fee is applied to the cost of the procedure.
  • Post-operative care for three months – Your recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. All follow-up visits within the first three months are included to monitor your healing and results.
  • Necessary enhancements within the first year – If an additional touch-up is needed to refine your results, we provide it at no additional cost, as long as it is medically appropriate.

We believe in full transparency, so you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of your personalized treatment plan before making any decisions.

How Vision Correction Surgery Can Save You Money Over Time

While LASIK requires an upfront investment, it can lead to significant savings over time. Many patients find that the cost of glasses, contact lenses, and related expenses add up quickly—often exceeding the one-time cost of vision correction surgery. Here’s how LASIK can help reduce long-term costs:

  • No More Recurring Expenses – Prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, cases, and cleaning solutions are ongoing costs that continue for decades. After LASIK, many patients no longer need these purchases, eliminating a major financial burden.
  • Reduced Eye Care Costs – Contact lens wearers often require more frequent eye exams and prescription updates. With LASIK, routine eye care may become less frequent and more focused on overall eye health rather than prescription adjustments.
  • Increased Productivity and Convenience – Beyond financial savings, LASIK can make everyday life more convenient. Whether it’s waking up with clear vision, engaging in sports without worry, or traveling without packing spare contacts and glasses, the benefits extend beyond the price tag.

Schedule Your Consultation

With LASIK, you’re not just paying for vision correction—you’re making a long-term investment in financial savings and a lifestyle free from the hassles of corrective eyewear.

Cost of LASIK vs. Long-term Cost of Eyeglasses and Contacts

To understand the true value of LASIK, it helps to compare it to the ongoing expenses of glasses and contact lenses. While LASIK is a one-time investment, corrective eyewear comes with continuous costs that add up over the years:

  • Prescription Eyeglasses – A quality pair of glasses can range from $200 to $600, with high-end frames and specialty lenses costing $1,000 or more. Many people replace their glasses every one to two years. Prescription sunglasses, blue light lenses, and backup pairs further increase costs.
  • Contact Lenses – The average cost of contact lenses varies, but daily wear lenses can cost $500 to $700 per year, including solutions and cases. Over 10 years, this can easily add up to $5,000 or more.
  • Cumulative Costs – Over 20 years, the combined costs of glasses, contacts, and prescription updates can exceed $10,000 to $15,000—far more than the one-time cost of LASIK.

Think of LASIK as an investment in owning your vision, rather than continuously “renting” clarity through glasses and contacts. Just like buying a home offers long-term financial benefits compared to renting, LASIK provides freedom from the recurring expenses of corrective eyewear. While LASIK has an upfront cost, the savings and convenience it provides over a lifetime make it a smart financial choice.

Paying for LASIK

We believe that cost shouldn’t be a barrier to achieving clear vision. To make LASIK more accessible, we offer flexible payment options, including financing plans and the ability to use tax-advantaged medical spending accounts.

LASIK Financing

Many patients choose to finance their LASIK procedure, breaking the cost into manageable monthly payments. We work with trusted medical financing providers, CareCredit and PatientFi, that offer flexible terms, including 0% interest plans for qualified applicants. Financing can make LASIK an affordable option, allowing you to invest in your vision without a large upfront expense.

Using HSA and FSA Funds for LASIK

If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you may be able to use pre-tax dollars to cover part or all of your LASIK procedure. These accounts are designed to help with eligible medical expenses, making them a smart way to reduce out-of-pocket costs. If you’re unsure about your coverage, check with your plan administrator or contact our team for guidance.

I recently had LASIK surgery with Dr. Khosrof. I had my consultation and follow up appointments at his Brooklyn office and the surgery at his office in Manhattan. I was very pleased and impressed with the whole team. I am very excited about being able to have my normal vision back. The recovery was quick with minimal discomfort. Thanks again to Dr. Khosrof and his amazing team!

I had EVO ICL surgery performed by Dr. Samer Khosrof in an outstanding way! I am so grateful that I can finally see 20/15 without any glasses/contacts. The surgery went smooth, pain-free and pretty fast, I came out of it as a brand new person:) Postoperative recovery was amazing too - I could see immediately after it.

I highly recommend Dr. Khosrof and his staff is you want to get LASIK. They did a thorough screening to ensure I was a good candidate and answered all my questions during the consultation visit. The surgery itself was quick and painless, and I had great vision the next day.

I’ve been considering LASIK for a few years now, but various obstacles, like losing my job and not feeling quite ready, kept pushing it back. Over time, I’ve had multiple consultations across Manhattan, encountering differences in pricing, vision correction options, and overall approaches. If you’re considering LASIK, you’re in excellent hands with Dr. Khosrof and his team. I will recommend him to each and every person until the cows come home.
