LASIK, short for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, is a laser eye surgery designed to correct astigmatism, nearsightedness, or farsightedness.
The objective of the LASIK procedure is to enhance the patient’s vision by reshaping the cornea, which is the clear outer layer of the eye, resembling a clear dome. The cornea functions as a lens, similar to the lens in a camera, focusing light.
LASIK tailors the cornea reshaping according to the patient’s prescription, ensuring that light rays enter the eye with minimal scatter and optical degradation. The outcome is improved visual acuity, essentially restoring the sharpness of vision.
At the Cohen Eye Institute, we make LASIK: Affordable, Painless, Quick
If you are fed up with the inconvenience and expense of glasses and contacts, LASIK can be a great option that offers a significant improvement in vision with little risk and time associated with the procedure.
We offer both bladeless or All laser LASIK as well as Contoura® LASIK that utilizes advanced mapping technology to generate an accurate and thorough three-dimensional map of the cornea.
The primary advantage of LASIK is the swift enhancement of your vision almost immediately post-procedure. With a procedure duration of just 20 minutes and a recovery period of one to two days, the temporary inconvenience pales in comparison to the enduring years of improved vision that follow.
The cost of LASIK eye surgery in New York can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of LASIK (Bladeless, All-Laser LASIK, Contoura, PRK, etc.), geographic location of the clinic, the technology used, the expertise of the surgeon, and the specific needs of the patient. Generally, prices can range from $1,000 to $3,000 per eye. However, it’s important to note that the lower end of this range might reflect older technology or less comprehensive care, while the higher end often includes state-of-the-art technology and more extensive pre-and post-operative care.
At Cohen Eye Institute, we offer competitive pricing while ensuring the highest quality of care and technology. We understand that the cost of LASIK can be a significant investment in your vision and quality of life. Therefore, we strive to provide transparent pricing without hidden fees. Our pricing includes all necessary pre-operative assessments, the surgery itself, and the follow-up care required to ensure the best possible outcome.
It’s also worth mentioning that while the initial cost may seem high, LASIK can be a cost-effective solution in the long run, potentially saving you money that would otherwise be spent on glasses, contact lenses, and associated supplies over the years.
We recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your specific needs and to receive a personalized quote. During this consultation, we can also discuss available financing options or payment plans that can help make the procedure more affordable.
