I noticed recently after surfing the web extensively in my research for new material to post at LasikUniversity.com that most Lasik Providers are now using interest free financing for extended periods of time to attract potential Lasik patients. It seems as though they are slowly steering from advertising astronomically low prices for Lasik to lure prospects in for an initial consultation. With this older method the price for Lasik usually jumped up dramatically after your prescription was obtained. That add for $299 or $499 an eye then escalated to an average of $1,100.00per eye. Now the financing for 24 or 36 months or even longer seems like it is designed to take the focus off the price and more on a monthly payment. This is actually a good marketing strategy but the price is definitely going to be on the higher end.
There are some major Lasik Financing options such as GE's Care Credit or Capital One. These financing companies make a cut of the total Lasik Procedure price. So the Lasik provider must factor this in to their final Lasik quote to you. So with the financing option please expect to pay a higher price versus coming in with cash for your procedure.
Please post a reply if you have any questions, concerns or any other topics you would like me to comment on.
Thanks and have a great day!
