Considering LASIK eye surgery? When you calculate the long-term cost savings, LASIK often pays for itself in under 5 years. Learn more about the financial and lifestyle benefits of LASIK.
If you wear contacts or glasses, you likely spend over $500 per year on supplies and replacements. That cost adds up over time. LASIK offers an alternative with a one-time upfront investment that saves money in the long run.
