Laser Vision Correction Payment Options
Laser Vision Correction is an investment in your vision. Studies have shown that you will probably spend more over your lifetime for glasses and contact lenses and their care than for INTRALASIK surgery. All LASIK surgeries are performed at the TLC Laser Eye Center.
The two complimentary preoperative INTRALASIK EVALUATION appointments are performed at the TLC Laser Eye Center and at Dr. Jaben's office (sorry, prescriptions are not provided for glasses or contact lenses during these appointments).
If you wear contact lenses, it is required that you leave them out prior to your evaluation exam and surgery. Please follow the guidelines listed below based on which type of contact lenses you presently wear.
o Soft contacts, not sleeping in them.....out 1 week
o Soft contacts, sleeping in them every night.....out 2 weeks
o Soft, toric lenses...........out 2 to 3 weeks
o Hard contact lenses (gas perm)......out 4-6 weeks
o Glasses.....can go at anytime
TLC has one price for Custom IntraLASIK. Click here to see pricing.
Methods of Payment
Payment in full to TLC is expected on the day of surgery. TLC offers numerous payment options including a no interest, same as cash payment plan through Capital One. In most cases, insurance plans will not cover the procedure (if your insurance or circumstance does allow for coverage of the procedure, you will be responsible for filing and collecting after the procedure). Utilization of pretax dollars through a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) at your place of employment is a very popular and acceptable option. TLC can review all payment options with you prior to any appointments.
If you should have any pricing questions, please call TLC's Charlotte office at 704/344-0474. They will be happy to explain your options. Thank you for choosing our practice for your laser vision correction experience.
