Charlotte, North Carolina
LASIK surgery is becoming more and more common, with more providers than ever before in the Charlotte region. The procedure is usually an out-of-pocket expense for patients, and is not covered on several insurance plans. For this reason, the price for LASIK surgery can be anywhere from $2,500 to $99 per eye. Why is there such a big difference in price? And who is best qualified to perform this delicate, life-changing procedure?
Here are the advantages of choosing Horizon Eye Care to perform your LASIK surgery:
Complete care package
At Horizon Eye Care, you always get the complete package. Once you compare the training, experience, safety and service, we think you'll find Horizon Eye Care provides the care you want for your eyes, at a very competitive price.
Affordable prices and financing
While providers advertise very low prices for LASIK services, most patients do not qualify for these advertised prices. And those who do may sacrifice surgeon experience and the latest laser technology in the process. It's possible to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars more and still not get a complete care package.
When you come to Horizon Eye Care, you'll discover that exceptional service doesn't come with an exceptional price tag. Our prices are not based on your prescription. We have one price, no matter what your prescription or the severity of your astigmatism.
Our affordable fee for Refractive Surgery covers all aspects of your care, including:
- Pre-operative examination and refraction
- Laser vision correction with your surgeon
- Wavescan VISX S4 Advanced Customvue Laser with IRIS Registration, the only FDA-approved excimer laser that tracks eye movements in all three dimensions
- Surgery and facility fees
- All post-operative visits for one full year
- Enhancement coverage for two years
At Horizon Eye Care, we believe in making laser vision correction affordable. We offer our patients the option of affordable monthly payments through Care Credit. There are several payment plans to make it easy for you to enjoy the benefits of laser vision correction. One of our plans is interest-free. Your monthly payment and interest rate will depend on the term of the loan. Call 1-800-365-8295 for more information on Care Credit.
Did you know that many employers offer a flexible spending or cafeteria plan that sets aside pre-tax dollars from your paycheck for medical expenses not covered by insurance? For most companies, refractive surgery is a qualified procedure that is eligible for reimbursement. Ask your employer if you are a participant in this type of plan.
Our price is NOT a teaser price
It's a fact: the vast majority of patients do not qualify for the extremely low LASIK prices that are advertised by some providers. It is not uncommon for a $499 advertised price to become $2,500 to $3,500 for both eyes once the patient's prescription and a complete set of pre- and postoperative services and enhancements are factored in. Horizon Eye Care sets one price and honors it, so there are no surprises.
Technology and safety
Some centers use older technology that doesn't provide a full range of FDA-approved vision correction capabilities. There have been reported cases of providers reusing materials or failing to sterilize equipment. Horizon Eye Care offers a state-of-the-art FDA-approved laser with a three-dimensional eye tracker, a large treatment zone and a back-up power supply for maximum safety.
Personal care from our surgeons
At some practices, you meet the surgeon for the first time on the day of surgery and then rely on support staff to work with you before and after the procedure. That is usually the case with practices that charge very low prices and process a high volume of patients. At Horizon Eye Care, your surgeon meets with you at the first appointment and follows you through all your pre- and postoperative care.
Our service is all-inclusive
Many practices may charge additional fees for enhancements beyond three months. At Horizon Eye Care, enhancements are covered up to two years after the surgery, one of the most comprehensive guarantees in the industry.
We're a private practice, not a corporate chain
A number of regional and national corporate chains provide LASIK. They often do not promise a specific surgeon, but rather rotate several surgeons through the week. Several have recently gone out of business or entered bankruptcy, stranding patients who paid for services without receiving all of them.
At Horizon Eye Care, we're locally owned and operated, with a proud history of providing quality care. Patients have turned to us year after year for all of their eye care needs.
Payment options
We accept cashier's checks, cash, personal checks, and Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards.
