Frequently Asked questions

Columbia LASIK Eye Surgery FAQ

LASIK can make patients a little nervous and confused so we took some of the most common questions our LASIK Surgeons in Columbia most commonly get asked every day to help you make an informed decision about this life-changing procedure.

How Much Does LASIK Cost in Columbia?

The  average price of LASIK Eye Surgery is $2,588* per eye (according to the most recent US analysis reported Market Scope in 2022). However, it’s important to note that this is just an estimate, and the actual cost can differ based on individual circumstances.

Does Insurance Cover LASIK Eye Surgery in Columbia?

Insurance providers typically consider LASIK to be an elective surgery therefore it is typically not covered. However, most providers offer some kind of promotion or discount.

How Long is the Recovery for LASIK?

The recovery period for LASIK eye surgery is relatively short, with most patients experiencing improved vision within the first 24 to 48 hours after the procedure, though individual results may vary. While you may resume most normal activities within a few days, it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions for the best and safest recovery outcome.

Is LASIK Eye Surgery Safe?

LASIK eye surgery is considered safe and has a high success rate for most patients, but like any surgical procedure, it carries potential risks and complications and the possibility of needing additional enhancements. It is crucial to consult with one of our qualified eye surgeon in our network to assess your individual suitability for LASIK and discuss any concerns you may have.

Who is a Candidate for LASIK in Columbia?

LASIK candidates should have a stable prescription for at least one to two years and be in good overall health with healthy eyes. Additionally, corneal thickness, pupil size, and age are factors considered by eye care professionals. It’s essential to consult with an experienced LASIK.com, ophthalmologist or optometrist for a comprehensive examination to determine individual eligibility for LASIK.

What Vision Errors Does LASIK Correct?

LASIK is primarily used to correct common refractive errors, including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure reshapes the cornea to improve the way light is focused onto the retina, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

What people are saying in Columbia

The fastest most amazing thing ever created for your eyes🥹 only a day after my surgery and I can see it all! My doctors Weltman and Roberts were incredible. I brought my toddler and baby to the consultation, operation, and post OP appointment and everyone was so accommodating. My only regret is not doing it sooner

Got my LASIK done on my right eye finally to be able to read. I already had LASIK on my left for distance. Of course I had to go back to Dr. Weltman who was my Doctor and she remembered me after 7 years, and scheduled me for my measurements and the procedure the same day. Yeah, I did it because I trust her 100%. 12 hours later, I feel good and am glass free,…

Dr. Weltman and Dr. Wells took excellent care of me both before and after my surgery! Everything went as expected. Now I can see the leaves on trees and drive without glasses! Amazing!

From start to finish, the process has been rewarding. Have wore glasses since young age. And contacts for 16+ years. It feels great to be able to toss the glasses and no longer have to deal with wearing contacts. I will highly recommend to anyone. Dr. Pasternak was very helpful and eased my anxiety telling me I was able to get lasik done in both eyes!! :)

Staff and doctors are knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable before, during, and after the process. I made the decision to have the procedure the same day as the consultation. Dr. Pasternak performed the procedure and was great. He was also helpful in understanding an eye condition that I have and how to address it. Thank you!

Wow - great experience! From the first consult to the surgical follow up exam everything was explained clearly and smooth through and through. Excellent staff at the Columbia location. I particularly appreciated Irena as she was so thoughtful, encouraging and kind throughout! This picture was one day post-op!

Great experience! I came in for my consultation and had scheduled for same day surgery. The whole process went smoothly and Dr. Pasternak was great - he explained everything as it was happening and made me feel very at ease. I went back for my consultation and in less than 24 hours I had 20/15 vision without glasses. I was on the fence on getting LASIK for years and finally just went for it. I’m…

Smooth and easy Lasik procedure here with both Dr. Wills and Dr. Weltman. It didn't hurt at all during the surgery, but a couple of hours after was painful, with lots of tears, and couldn't open my eyes as the doctor had informed. I can see better the next day and am able to drive to work. If your job requires you to be active or use a lot of eye focus, I would recommend…

The doctors were exceptionally kind and understanding, especially regarding my initial hesitation.

By far the best experience. Dr Weltman and Ben made me feel so comfortable from the consultation and throughout the whole process. dr Weltman was even available over the weekend to answer my concerns! I was nervous but excited and they took such good care of me. dr Roberts explained each part and what to expect with a vision like mine and made me feel confident! I woke and could see faces!! Couldn’t have asked…
