This is not your parents’ vision correction surgery: RLE is getting rid of those pesky “readers” now & and you won’t need Cataract surgery later! Laser-assisted cataract extraction with multifocal intraocular lenses 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.

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 of our experience and tech, 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, you very likely could be now with SHARPEVISION.
We’re not your typical LASIK provider in Austin. 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 & greatest technology. This means that Dr. Lancaster can tailor the procedure specifically to your unique eyes, giving you the best possible result. Vision Correction for ALL!
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 because our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. Check out our Cost Calculator to see how much LASIK & EVO ICL can save you vs contacts & glasses. We also offer guaranteed in-house financing for easy monthly payments.
We believe that we give our patients the best experience at the best price, but if you happen to find a better price somewhere else, you can still have the SHARPEVISION experience. Just bring in your exam paperwork with the quoted price from another local LASIK provider within three months of your consultation & we’ll match the price for service & give you an extra $100 off! It’s that simple. So when you’re ready, we’ve made it easy to book your free consultation online, but we’d also love an old fashioned phone call. We’ll SEE you soon!
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.

No, the laser can’t burn a hole in your eye. But it’s a good question. Find the answers to our most frequently asked questions at SHARPEVISION. Some of them may surprise you!
No one ever has. However, LASIK is a surgical procedure and does have risks that vary by your age, prescription, and numerous other factors. Please see “risks of laser surgery” above.
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!
There are very few things that can go wrong during the surgery, and the chances of any of those things occurring are slight. More important to the outcome of your surgery, we advise everyone to check out the surgeon’s credentials, experience, online presence and reviews, and to then visit the center and get an overall feel for the practice. Did you have a good feeling about the team, the physical appearance and processes internally? I believe that a higher volume of patients is good for practice consistency and to hone results. However, if you feel like they’re rushing you through, you may not receive the same attention and responsiveness of a smaller practice. This can be an issue at a multi-surgeon clinic. I feel like we have found the perfect combination at SharpeVision: we do a lot of procedures, which keeps us polished, and our surgeon-run boutique centers keep our patients at the front of everything we do.
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!
