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

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-

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.
