What is LASIK?

LASIK is a laser eye surgery that permanently changes the shape of the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. The name stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis.

The surgeon cuts a thin flap in the cornea with a blade device called a microkeratome or with a femtosecond laser, folds the flap back, reshapes the tissue underneath with an excimer laser, then puts the flap back in place. The FDA regulates the lasers, not the surgeons, and publishes the conditions that make someone a poor candidate.

This page explains the procedure and shows who performs it. It is general information, not medical advice. Whether it suits your eyes is a decision for you and an ophthalmologist who has examined them.

Questions about LASIK

How many practices offer LASIK?

810 of the 839 practices in The LASIK Index perform LASIK, as of September 2026, across 93 metro areas.

How much does LASIK cost where prices are published?

171 of 810 listed practices publish a per-eye LASIK price. Those prices run from $1,000 to $8,400 per eye, with a median starting price of $2,495.

How long does LASIK recovery take?

The FDA says vision is usually hazy or blurry straight after LASIK, that patients should see their doctor within the first 24 to 48 hours and at regular intervals for at least the first six months, and that it may take three to six months for vision to stabilize. The FDA advises waiting one to three days before non-contact sports, depending on the doctor's instructions.

Who is not a good candidate for LASIK?

According to the FDA, LASIK may not suit people whose glasses or contact lens prescription changed in the past year, people with conditions or medications that affect wound healing such as autoimmune disease or diabetes, people who take part in contact sports such as boxing or martial arts, and anyone under 18, because no laser is approved for LASIK in minors. Only an eye examination can settle it for an individual.

Does insurance cover LASIK?

Most medical insurance will not pay for refractive surgery, according to the FDA. Many practices in The LASIK Index offer financing, and several accept HSA or FSA funds.

Is LASIK right for me?

Whether LASIK suits your eyes depends on measurements taken at an examination by an ophthalmologist, such as corneal thickness, prescription and eye health. The sources linked on this page describe who the procedure is designed for.
