LASIK “starting at” prices: what the fine print says
A LASIK price that begins “from” or “starting at” is a floor: the figure for some eyes, on some lasers. This page sets every such price we have checked beside the words its own page uses and what that page says decides the figure — and beside the fixed prices centers publish.
“Starting at” figures checked
Published prices$490 – $2,900per eye: where 12 starting prices begin
Fixed prices, for comparison: typically $2,000 to $2,700 per eye, an estimate from 46 centers. A starting price is never part of that figure.

Each “starting at” price, and what its page says
13 starting prices, A to Z by center, the newest seen October 11, 2026. Beside each: what was recorded from its page about who gets the figure. A page that gives no condition is shown as giving none.

Three things an advertisement shows that are not a price
A monthly payment, a discount with no price it comes off, and an average for an area. None of them is counted on this site, and none appears in a table here.
- A monthly payment. A figure per month is what a loan costs each month, and depends on the loan’s length and rate. The price is what is borrowed. The LASIK cost calculator turns a price, a rate and a number of months into the payment and what the loan adds.
- An amount off, with no price it comes off. A discount says what is subtracted and not what is left. Where a page prints the price before or after its discount, that price is what is shown here, with the discount in its conditions.
- An average for a city or the country. An average is somebody’s summary of other people’s prices, not what the center whose page it is on charges.
A price is counted only with the words of its own page that state it. How this site works
What an industry group and FDA say about low advertised prices
The Refractive Surgery Council, an industry group, says advertised prices of $99 to $299 per eye usually apply only to very low prescriptions and may leave out the visits before and after surgery. (Refractive Surgery Council (an industry group): cost of LASIK, published June 4, 2026.)

The fixed prices, and the total
Not medical advice. This page is about what things cost. Prices change: the newest here was seen on its source page on October 11, 2026.
What that means, and how we check prices
Not medical advice
This page is about what things cost. It does not say what anyone should take or have done; that is a decision for you and a licensed clinician. Statements from labels and agencies are quoted from the sources linked beside them and have not been clinically reviewed.
Prices change
Every price here is a published price as it was seen on its source page — the newest on October 11, 2026. Sellers change prices and end offers; the seller’s page is the authority.
How we check prices
Each price is read from the seller’s own page and checked against its source before it appears, with the unit it is quoted in and the conditions printed beside it. Published prices are re-checked monthly. How we estimate · How this site works
