Why we built this

My dad was legally blind. At the age of 47 he became an early adopter of LASIK when the procedure was still new. It changed his life.

Years later, when it was our turn to look into it, we ran into the same problem: every provider quoted something different, nobody would tell you the real number until you were already sitting in a consultation, and there was no easy way to know if a quote was actually fair.

So we built the resource we wished we'd had — real per-eye and both-eyes pricing by state and city, a side-by-side breakdown of LASIK vs. PRK vs. SMILE vs. ICL, and a clear look at financing and what insurance, FSA, and HSA actually cover.

One place, not a dozen browser tabs.

We're not a surgeon, a clinic, or a medical authority — just people who watched LASIK change someone's life and wanted the decision to get there to be easier. See our Data & Editorial Standards page for how we source and verify our pricing.
