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:

• 96% of patients get their desired vision after LASIK nearly immediately. Vision also continues to improve over several weeks to months after.
• New technology like the femtosecond laser is faster, safer, and more comfortable than before.
• It’s a relatively quick, painless procedure with a short recovery period.
• It’s safer than wearing contacts, with a lower risk of infection post-operatively too.
• No bandages or stitches are required after LASIK.
• It’s a safe long-term solution for people with vision problems, even allowing for adjustments to be made years later if your vision changes with age.

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!

LASIK, an acronym for Laser-assisted in situ Keratomileusis, is a procedure that involves the use of a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye’s cornea to improve vision. The cornea is the clear tissue covering the front of the eye that helps focus light rays to create an image on the retina. Imperfection of the shape of the cornea causes images to be distorted on the retina, thus vision problems such as:

• Nearsightedness (Myopia)
• Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
• Distorted or blurred vision at any distance (Astigmatism)

The average cost per eye for LASIK and PRK in the US is $2300, with a range from $1500 to $3000. An advertised price lower than $1000 is typically only for the lowest prescriptions without astigmatism. Most LASIK providers will make you come in to receive a quote for surgery. At SharpeVision our pricing is clear and consistent and listed on our pricing page, so you’ll know what to expect to pay for LASIK before your consultation- just compare our pricing to the prescription of each of your eyes. For example, if your left eye is -1.25 and and your right eye is -1.0, your total cost of LASIK would be $495 + $2195= $2690 for both eyes. 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!

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.
