What is a WaveScan or visual fingerprint?

A WaveScan is a visual fingerprint of the eye. Quick and painless, a WaveScan maps out the terrain of your eye, and measures the imperfections on the cornea. A WaveScan is one of the first diagnostic tools doctors use to determine a patient's eligibility for LASIK surgery.

For more information, please call us at 888-663-2020.

Can I finance my surgery?

The Laser Center for Vision Care offers the Chase HealthAdvance Vision Care plan, which allows patients to apply for 0% interest for up to 24 months.

Is the cost of refractive surgery tax deductible?

It is possible that your surgical procedure can be claimed as a medical expense to be itemized on your federal income tax return.

Can I use funds from a Health Saving Account (HSA), or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for surgery?

Yes. You can also use Flex dollars from your employer-based Flexible Savings Account, or Health Savings Account. Some insurance plans and employers offer discounts for refractive surgery procedures; check your employee benefits and health insurance plan. Refractive surgery is an eligible medical expenditure for HSAs and FSAs.
