What if I'm not a LASIK candidate?

If LASIK isn't the best fit for your eyes, we offer several advanced alternatives including PRK, EVO ICL, and Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) to help you achieve clear, natural vision.

Is LASIK covered by insurance?

LASIK is an elective procedure and is generally not covered by standard medical insurance. However, you can use FSA/HSA funds, and we offer flexible financing options through CareCredit® and GreenSky®.

Which option is best for reading vision?

For patients experiencing presbyopia (age-related reading difficulty), Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) or custom premium lens options often provide the best long-term solution to reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes, our initial vision correction consultation is 100% complimentary with no obligation, allowing Dr. Reeves and our team to thoroughly evaluate your candidacy and discuss tailored recommendations.
