At Lumea, we’re committed to making vision correction accessible. We want you to have as much information as possible, and that includes understanding the factors that can influence fees.
While we cannot provide a specific price without a consultation, this post will explore common variables that impact the total investment in laser eye surgery, and how you can get more information on financing options.
Key Factors: What Influences Pricing?
- Procedure Type (LASIK, SMILE, PRK, ICL): To determine the investment required for your laser eye surgery, we’ll carefully assess your individual vision and recommend the most suitable procedure based on your needs.
- Advanced Technology: Clinics that utilize the latest and most advanced laser technology, such as the Zeiss VisuMax 800 femtosecond laser, may charge higher fees as patients get access to the most advanced equipment.

Affordable Options: Understanding Your Choices:
While laser eye surgery can be a significant investment, there are options to make it more affordable:
- Financing Plans: Many clinics offer financing plans that allow you to pay for the procedure over time, often with low or no interest.
- Health Spending Accounts: If you have a health spending account through your employer or private insurance, you can use those funds to cover the cost of laser eye surgery.
- Health Benefits: If your employer offers a health benefits package, check in with your insurance provider to determine if your procedure would qualify under your vision coverage. Plans and coverage vary, so it’s best to review your policy first.
