Financial Considerations
Dr. Cabler's charge for LASIK surgery is a global, comprehensive fee that includes:
- Presurgical examinations, including diagnostic testing for cornea shape, thickness and pupil size in addition to dilation (and medical eye exam) and refractions.
- The surgeon's skills
- Use of the outpatient facility which houses the laser and royalty fees to the laser manufacturer
- Follow-up visits for one year
- One enhancement (a second LASIK procedure)
His fee is highly competitive for a physician with over 20 years experience who uses the most modern lasers AND personally interacts with the patient throughout the process. Depending on the individual's age, the lifetime cost of eyeglasses or contacts can exceed this fee.
Pre-payment options include cash, cashier's check, money order, personal check, credit card or financing. Personal checks must be received seven days in advance of surgery, otherwise payment is due one day prior.
Check with your insurance company to determine if the procedure is covered. Typically, it is not. This is not because LASIK is an unproven procedure, but rather because if it were offered, the majority of individuals with refractive errors would likely utilize their insurance to have LASIK.
