At 20/20 Institute, we’re often asked, who makes up an ideal candidate for LASIK? That’s a multipart answer.

First, you should be dissatisfied with your glasses or contact lenses. If those are working for you, you should stick with those. Next, it takes a healthy eye and particularly a healthy cornea, which can only be determined at a one on one consultation in the office. The other piece of the puzzle is a healthy person. So some systemic diseases can prevent you from being a good candidate for LASIK. The doctor will talk to you about that. But generally, dissatisfied with your current vision correction, healthy eyes, and a healthy body makes you a good candidate for LASIK.

A common question we get at 20/20 Institute is, does my insurance cover for LASIK? Because LASIK is considered an elective procedure, insurance does not directly cover LASIK. The good news is if you do have health or vision insurance, we will honor up to a fifteen percent discount for your LASIK procedure at 20/20 Institute.

If you’re considering LASIK, one question we’re asked quite often is how much time will this take out of my life and my schedule? LASIK is a very patient friendly procedure. It does require an initial telephone consultation, which is about fifteen, twenty minutes, an in office visit, which is a very thorough eye exam about an hour and fifteen minutes, the procedure day itself is about an hour and a half, and then you have one, two, or three follow-up visits that take about ten minutes each. So it’s a very limited time commitment for such a life changing procedure.
