Frequently Asked questions

Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh most commonly get asked every day to help you make an informed decision about this life-changing procedure.

How Much Does LASIK Cost in Pittsburgh?

The average price of LASIK Eye Surgery in Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh?

Insurance providers typically consider LASIK to be an elective surgery therefore it is typically not covered. However, our network LASIK providers have partnerships with Insurance providers which often offer exclusive discounts to anyone looking to get LASIK. Check Your Insurance Coverage

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 Pittsburgh?

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.

I had a wonderful experience with my LASIK surgery! The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The procedure was quick, and my recovery was smooth. My vision is now better than I ever imagined, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering LASIK!

I had been putting off getting Lasik surgery for many years. Now that I’ve actually done it, I can tell you that it was one of the easiest decisions that I’ve made, and I really wish I had done it sooner. To be honest, I was nervous about the surgery, and I was skeptical about the results. I was also concerned about the price, as I was under the impression that TLC was more expensive…

Wonderful experience. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Very kind and welcoming. I was extremely nervous about my procedure but they talked to you every step of the way. Explained everything they were doing and what to expect. I about cried after my procedure from being absolutely terrified to completely overwhelmed by being able to see clearly already after wearing glasses for over 30 years. There were so many emotions afterwards from excitement about my…

Amazing experience! The staff was great. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. Everyone said I would have pain for 4 to 6 hours after surgery and I had very little discomfort. I could not be happier about how everything went.

Very smooth experience from start to finish, doctors answer all your questions. They make sure you’re comfortable and talk you thru each step. I was pretty nervous about having the surgery done but I was an excellent experience. I won’t down play the first hour or 2 of recovery and it was difficult to fall asleep but once I woke up I was completely back to normal with zero pain. Checked in for my post…

I recently had the monoocular Lasix procedure completed. By far the most outstanding staff I could have asked for. Everything was explained to me in detail. I felt comfortable. I couldn’t recommend a better place. If you have been waiting to get this done, the time is now. You will not be disappointed.

I had LASIK done yesterday and already have 20/20 vision today. The second I sat up after the procedure, I could read a clock for the first time since 4th grade. Driving into Pittsburgh today, I could see hospital signs I didn’t even know existed before. Honestly an unreal experience from start to finish. The doctors are all supportive through every step. And for anyone nervous from watching videos online, don’t be. The actual experience…

I was extremely nervous to get this procedure, but everyone in the office took their time to explain everything in great detail! All the staff are amazing, friendly, and exactly the kind of people you want to be around to get this procedure done. I walked out of the operating room smiling and woke up with 20/20 vision the next morning, it is amazing! If you get the chance to get lasik, run, do not…

The consultations were very thorough, they made sure I understand the differences between lasik and PRK and that I was a good candidate for the procedures. I went with PRK and come surgery day I was nervous but things went very well and the temporary discomfort was well worth the payoff. I'm just under one month post surgery and I can see so much better. I notice my vision sharpening every couple days and the…

If you're unsure about getting Lasik, I say go for it! As soon as I walked in the door I was met with kindness. The staff is wonderful and were so patient with me and all my nerves. The procedure itself was so fast, and no pain. You do feel pressure at one point but it's literally seconds. For me the "worst " part was after. Once I got home I couldn't fall asleep so…

To see all of our reviews, please look at our Google My Business or Yelp reviews. Reviews reflect individual experiences. As with all medical procedures, individual results will vary, and anyone considering LASIK should speak with a doctor. A review of scientific articles published between 2008 and 2015 published in the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery found that 99.5% (59,503/59,833) of LASIK treated eyes addressed in the literature achieved post-operative acuity better than 20/40
