LASIK is one of the most exciting types of refractive surgery and can correct a wide range of vision problems. It uses sophisticated laser technology to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
LASIK is safe, effective and is associated with very few side effects. If you’re wearing glasses and/or contacts, and you fall into one (or even two) of these categories, then All-Laser LASIK may be the right choice for you.
LASIK works by changing the shape of your cornea, which in turn changes the way images focus on your retina. It’s technically a two-step process: creating a small flap on the cornea, and then reshaping the corneal surface, all in just a few minutes. Even though it’s been around a long time, LASIK remains the world’s most popular form of vision correction surgery. According to The American Refractive Surgery Council, LASIK enjoys an unprecedented 96% patient satisfaction rate, the highest of any elective ophthalmic procedure.
Request a consultationBefore we dive deep into how we can help you pay for LASIK on your terms, let’s talk about the “affordability” of glasses and contacts. The truth is, glasses and contacts cost a lot! Think about yearly eye exams, glasses (lenses and frames), contacts, contact solution, cases. And those are just the bare minimum options before you consider options like a second pair of glasses or prescription sunglasses. It’s not uncommon for us to hear from patients that LASIK paid for itself in about three years.
Financial considerations should not be an obstacle in obtaining LASIK Eye Surgery. Our goal is to make LASIK Eye Surgery affordable for any budget!
We’re pleased to offer the CareCredit credit card, North America’s leading patient healthcare financing program. If you’re considering LASIK, CareCredit can help you see clearer, sooner.

"It’s been about a year since my lasik procedure with Dr. Howard and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. At my most recent check up my vision is still 20/15 and I see things more clearly than I have in my entire life. Everyone at the office has been nothing short of amazing but Rita stands out really went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable during the procedure and at every appointment. It is clear by the way that she goes above and beyond that she really cares about her patients and she’s passionate about what she does. The procedure has allowed me to be able to see colors vividly for the first time. Those results, I am told are not typical but they have been incredible for me."

"St. Luke’s was amazing from start till finish! Truly excellence with love. Shout out to Rita for such amazing care the entire time and to Dr. Howard for giving me new vision with Lasik! All the locations are peaceful! Loved the scripture everywhere."

“I used to wear contact lenses and besides being a bit of a pain to wear, they sometimes caused me to have eye irritation & infections. I drive by St. Luke’s every day on my way to work so I decided to see if LASIK was an option for me. It was and I’m very pleased with my outcome. I had my procedure done in the morning and by dinner time, I already noticed a bit of an improvement. Later that evening, I watched a movie and that was when I really began to notice the clarity and sharpness of my vision. The procedure was even quicker than I’d imagined as was the recovery time. Thanks to Dr. Howard and his team. I recommend him to anyone considering LASIK.”
