This is not your parents’ vision correction surgery: RLE means getting rid of those pesky “readers” now & not needing Cataract surgery later! And laser-assisted Cataract extraction with custom multifocal intra-ocular lenses (IOL) make it so there are no needles, no blades, & potentially NO glasses afterward. Monovision is also an excellent option to potentially allow you to have good distance & near vision using LASIK or PRK.

As adults, our eyes predictably undergo three major milestones. At SHARPEVISION, we have vision correction solutions for each of these milestones regardless of your age or glasses prescription.
Is LASIK right for you? In most cases, yes! While not everyone can safely have laser vision correction, about 90% of the patients we see are great candidates for LASIK. And because we utilize the latest techniques and newest technology, we’re able to treat many patients who weren’t candidates in the past. So, if you’ve been told that you aren’t a candidate for LASIK or vision correction surgery, you most likely could be now at SHARPEVISION.
We’re not your typical LASIK provider. Total transparency is our mission. We don’t have corporate shareholders. We don’t have quotas. We only do custom all-laser vision correction surgery with the latest and greatest tech. This means your doctor can tailor the procedure specifically to your unique eyes, giving you the best possible result.
We believe that everyone should have access to the best technology at a fair price and in an inspiring environment. Whether you are interested in LASIK, PRK, or EVO ICL, you can know you are getting the best value possible. Check out our Cost Calculator to see how much vision correction can save you vs. contacts and glasses. We also offer guaranteed in-house financing for easy monthly payments-it’s like a subscription service for better vision! You also get lifetime referral vouchers for $100 cash to you with every patient who names you as the one who referred them for their surgery. Do this enough, and your surgery can be free! Besides, it’ll be free anyway with all the money you’ll save on contact lenses and glasses.
At SHARPEVISION, we are second to none. The results, the experience, the technology, are identifiably superior to the average. Our surgeons are some of the few in the country that do the volume and have the years of experience that makes us able to say: We are the best! In addition to our unequaled LASIK4Life, you have lifetime “Concierge Eye Care” which means that if you ever have an eye question or problem, you can text/call your surgeon and get your questions answered in real time. For life- just keep the number on your phone and that’s it.
The majority of people (90%) who fall into Milestone 01 (ages 18-45) are good candidates for LASIK. Take our candidate quiz and find out which procedure is right for you!
The average cost per eye for LASIK and PRK in the USA went up in 2023 like most things, due to inflation, and is around $2500, with a range from $1500 to $3500. An advertised price lower than $1000 is typically only for the lowest prescriptions without astigmatism. At SHARPEVISION, our pricing is clear and consistent and based on your level of prescription and other factors related to your anatomy. We will know where you fall in our pricing after we have given your eyes a thorough evaluation at your free consultation. The price is the same whether you have LASIK or PRK. We also have a price-match guarantee: if you happen to get a lower price quote for LASIK or PRK somewhere else, we will match the price for service, just bring in your paperwork. It’s that simple!
Our ICL and RLE pricing is consistent for everyone because we are inserting a lens into the eye and not changing the shape of the cornea. These prices are listed on our pricing page– which no one else does BTW!
At SharpeVision, we always follow our data to ensure that we’re getting what we think we are getting. Our patients achieve 20/20 or better uncorrected vision 96% of the time. In younger patients and those with lower (-3 or less) prescriptions, it’s as high as 99% of the time, and in our older patients with higher degrees of prescription (over -6), 89% achieve 20/20 or better uncorrected vision. Some people have never had 20/20 with glasses, and those people will likely get only as clear as they had with a good pair of glasses. Those that can see the 20/15 or 20/10 (better than 20/20) lines with glasses will likely get that same vision without glasses after LASIK or PRK.
With all the options we have for vision correction, the answer is probably “Yes!” The only way to know for sure which procedure(s) is right for you is by coming in for a complete eye exam at SHARPEVISION or another LASIK provider. We perform the entire exam completely free of charge. During your 90 minute exam, we will dilate and scan your eyes with specialized machines to obtain a variety of data, including your corneal shape and thickness, your precise prescription, and the health of your eyes. There are many factors that help us determine not only if you’re a candidate, but to set expectations and educate you as much as possible to help you make the best decision.
This question is answered very differently between practices. The answers I’ve heard have been as long as six weeks out of contacts before they’ll even see you to as short as three days before the procedure. The reason, in my opinion, is dogma, or historical dictates that have not kept up with actual practice. I’ve been performing LASIK and PRK full time since 1999 and have observed these practices evolve in some places and not in those who don’t directly practice, or who have never questioned the practice of these onerous dictates.
Our policy is:
The reasons to be out of contacts are to reduce or eliminate any effects of the contact lenses on your eyes. These effects may be very short term: reducing the bacterial CFUs (colony forming units) on your lids, and ocular surface. This reduction of bacteria occurs in about two days; and medium term: the dogma/conventional wisdom is that soft contacts can mold or change the shape of your eyes and therefore your prescription.
I believe this is absolutely true if you wear Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses (more below), but not true of soft or soft toric (astigmatism correcting) contact lenses. At SHARPEVISION, we ALWAYS recheck your prescription very carefully on the day of your procedure. The reason for this is to confirm all our measurements from the day of your exam. Now here’s what I think is the cool part: we find slight variations in prescription on most people. That is, (almost) anything you measure in the body will fluctuate a small amount (height, weight, temperature, etc.) but the fluctuations are present whether you’ve worn contacts or not. So our results are the same excellent results in everyone.
*Caveat! RGP (hard/inflexible contacts) are an exception! RGP lenses absolutely do mold the shape of your eye. This is where the SHARPEVISION method makes the process as easy as possible while ensuring excellent outcomes. We have our patients come in for a free comprehensive exam even if they’re wearing their RGP lenses. We can tell them they’re a candidate based on their prescription, corneal thickness, and all the other elements of the exam. If they’re not LASIK candidates, they don’t have to undergo the burden of not wearing their contacts for a long time. We also discuss the effect of RGP lenses on their eyes. We require these patients to wear glasses only (occasionally switch to soft contacts) for a minimum of three weeks, then have them come for a recheck of their prescription. This is where the majority of any change in prescription will be determined. Then we schedule their procedure at least two weeks after that, and check the prescription again a third time very carefully. If we measure more astigmatism, or a significant change in prescription, we postpone their procedure and recheck again in at least two more weeks. I can only recall doing this one time. This protocol has worked perfectly in my opinion. It allows us to monitor the stability of the prescription over time.
PS: If you don’t have any glasses to wear before the procedure, we frequently write a prescription for temporary glasses that you can get online for under $20.
At SharpeVision, we perform only all-laser LASIK. Your surgeon will use an extremely precise femtosecond laser to create a flap in the cornea. The surgeon then uses another laser to reshape the cornea, correcting the refraction problems in the eye.
LASIK is one of the most commonly performed eye laser surgery for many reasons:
LASIK is also more convenient in the long run, and with SharpeVision’s Austin LASIK surgery, more cost-effective too! We have the best LASIK Austin prices and a price-match guarantee to prove it!

SHARPEVISION looks at things a little differently. Take LASIK. Just because you’re having a procedure doesn’t mean you can’t be comfortable. And just because you’re comfortable doesn’t mean you should have to pay more. Everything can be improved if you look at it with the right set of eyes. And that’s what we’re doing for you. You get the best price combined with the best experience. Not just giving you a new view, but a new outlook. So when you leave here, you’ll be looking at things differently. You’ll be looking SHARPE.
Anyone can be affected by poor vision. We get to help people from all walks of life & hear some amazing stories along the way.
Our surgeons have had the privilege of treating a wide range of professional athletes, coaches, & trainers. We are honored to partner with & support Seattle Sounders FC & humbled that the players & staff trust us with their vision!.
