What is LASIK Surgery?
LASIK or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is a surgical procedure where a LASER is utilized to reshape the cornea and allows you to become less dependent on glasses.
The LASIK procedure is quick and highly effective. At American Eye Associates we perform all LASER LASIK with the latest technology available.
How Much Does LASIK Cost?
All-Laser LASIK at American Eye Associates is just $1,800 per eye. This includes all pre-op and post op visits – and what's more, it includes the most advanced laser available in the United States.
Consultations are always free, and we never pressure you to book a procedure. In fact, we're so confident that you'll have a good experience that we will beat anyone’s LASIK price in San Diego for the same laser.
But that's not all - additional discounts may apply, and with financing from CareCredit, you could pay as little as $99/month.

San Diego's LASIK Eye Experts
What Happens During LASIK Surgery?
The surgery works by reshaping the cornea so it can better focus images onto the retina for sharper vision. Both eyes can be treated during the same appointment and the surgery takes about 10 minutes per eye. LASIK is an outpatient procedure that uses local anesthesia in the form of eye drops.
How Quickly Can I Expect Results?
Full recovery and noticeable results can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. In most cases, our Contoura Vision scans allow patients enjoy 20/20 vision or better without glasses or contact lenses after their surgery – and for many patients, the improved vision from LASIK may be permanent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know If I Am A Good Candidate For LASIK?

You may also visit us for a FREE LASIK consultation. In this consult, you will be examined by one of our American Eye Associates doctors and you will also undergo an extensive evaluation to determine if you are a candidate. Most people are good candidates for LASIK, but some may not be. However, there may be other options for you to help reduce your dependency on glasses.
Talk to your American Eye Associates doctor about your health conditions, as some may impact your ability to undergo LASIK. Other things like thin corneas or dry eyes may also affect your ability to undergo LASIK.
We use WaveLight® LASIK technology with CONTOURA® Vision, the latest available technology for LASIK. With Contoura® we have the ability to map your cornea and offer a more custom LASIK procedure. LASIK results with Contoura® have been outstanding. Keep in mind that you may be asked to not wear contact lenses for up to two weeks before your evaluation to help your eyes return to their natural shape.
What Happens After LASIK Surgery?
Your eyes may feel temporarily dry, and your vision may be hazy for the first few days. For that reason, patients are usually required to have someone drive them home after surgery. Your eye care provider will schedule regular follow-up visits after the procedure to make sure your eyes are healthy and healing properly.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Temporary side effects may include glare, fluctuating vision and dry eyes, which can be relieved with eye drops. Most side effects usually disappear after a few days.
Will I Need To Wear Corrective Lenses After Surgery?
Most people are able to see clearly after LASIK surgery. However, corrective lenses might be required for specific activities, such as night driving or reading.
