Eye On Hea[th Making Laser Vision Correction Surgery Affordable---A Look At The Options (NAPS)--With more than 600,000 procedures taking place every year, laser vision correction surgery--such as LASIK--remains an extremely popular option for adults interested in reducing or elim- inating the need for glasses or con- tacts to see clearly. With an average price of $4,500 for the most advanced procedure, many people interested in LASIK are often challenged to find a way to pay for it. Here are a few suggestions from the American Refractive Surgery Council: * Of course, if you have enough money on hand, paying for the procedure yourself is naturally the simplest option. You can feel good about investing in LASIK knowing the cost of glasses and/or contact lenses over •a lifetime is far greater than the one-time cost of LASIK. • Many LASIK practices offer payment plans for procedures. Some programs are interest-free for a set period of time, but make Adult s6*Student S~*Matinee s4 sure you understand all the Upon occasion, a horse's shoes were put on backwards--the toe in terms related to the amount YOU back and the heel in front--to mislead a pursuing enemy. It was used borrow. in the 11th century by King Alfonso in his escape from Toledo, Spain. • Although most insurance poli- cies don't cover elective eye surgery, you should always check with your insurance company to confirm your specific coverage and benefits. There are a few policies that offer coverage or discounts for vision correction surgery. • Credit options may help make LASIK affordable for you now and allow you to pay back the money you borrow over time. Some credit cards with no or very low interest rates and other attractive offers such as no-fee balance transfers can help you pay for your proce- dure over time without incurring additional expense. But, as with any credit decision, make sure you understand all the terms and that it fits within your budget. • Your job benefits may include access to Flexible Spending Ar- rangement (FSA) and Health Sav- ing Account (HSA) programs that allow you to set aside tax-free money for your procedure. By using tax-free funds to pa2( for LASIK, you effectively reduce the overall cost of the procedure. How- I g & Other Sept. 3 thru Sun. Nov. 6 Drv or Sat.

We would rather speak selves at all. *** ill of ourselves than not talk about our- --Francois Duc de La Rochefoucauld Glasses and contacts aren't for everyone, which is why thou- sands of Americans are looking into ways to pay for LASIK. *** ever, for the tax year 2016, the IRS limits an individual to up to $2,550 in an FSA and up to $3,350 in an HSA, which likely won't cover the cost of LASIK, but will help. Married couples and families have a higher contribution limit, $6,750 for an HSA. Your com- pany's benefits manager can advise you on the specifics of your programs. • Choosing to pay for your vision correction with cash gifts from family or friends, a tax refund, or bonus allows you to turn a finan- cial windfall into a significant lifestyle benefit: excellent vision. • Depending upon your medical expenses for the tax year, you may be able to deduct some or all of the cost of your LASIK procedure, which can help make your vision correction surgery more afford- able. Laser vision correction pro- cedures are a qualified medical deduction if you meet the require- ments, but confirm the facts of your specific situation with your tax professional. The cost of LASIK is a signifi- cant amount of money for most budgets. Weighing the options for paying for laser vision correction surgery can help you see how this one-time investment in excellent vision has important lifestyle and financial benefits.
