You Can Afford LASIK! Here’s How

 

If you've relied on glasses or contacts for most of your life, chances are you're familiar with the idea of LASIK Laser Vision Correction. If you're anything like me, you've daydreamed about the freedom of having perfect 20/20 vision - no more fumbling for your glasses as soon as you wake up, or the dreaded realization that you forgot to take out your contacts. Imagine being able to rock any pair of sunglasses you desire without the need for a prescription!

 

What's holding you back?

During a recent dinner conversation with friends, I posed this question. Their unanimous answer? Cost. They are eager to undergo the procedure! However, the hurdle lies in the fact that LASIK is seldom covered by insurance, making it a significant out-of-pocket expense. The funds required for LASIK simply do not align with their current financial plans.

Use pre-tax dollars to cover the cost of LASIK

Have you checked if your employer's benefits package includes the option for a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)? These valuable benefits allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars from your salary to cover elective medical procedures, such as the life-changing LASIK.

Navigating through these plans can be overwhelming, so it's essential to educate yourself on the specifics and deadlines related to your selection before enrolling. It's also a good idea to confirm if you meet the criteria for LASIK beforehand.

In the event that an FSA or HSA is not within your reach, fear not. There are other options available. CareCredit, a reputable healthcare financing network, offers interest-free payment plans that stretch up to 24 months, making LASIK more attainable than ever before.
