1. Alphaeon Credit

The Alphaeon Credit program offers flexible monthly payment plans designed for medical and aesthetic procedures.

  • No interest plans if paid within the promotional period
  • Extended payment options with predictable monthly costs
  • Quick and simple application process

Approval is based on credit, and our team can help guide you through the application during your visit.

2. Using Your FSA or HSA

Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts can make a meaningful difference in your total cost.

These accounts allow you to use pre-tax income for medical expenses, including LASIK and other vision correction procedures.

How This Helps You:

  • You may reduce your overall tax burden
  • You can use funds you have already set aside
  • You may lower your true out-of-pocket cost

If you have an FSA, keep in mind that funds are often use-it-or-lose-it by the end of the year. An early consultation helps you plan how much to allocate.

3. CareCredit Healthcare Financing

CareCredit is another popular option that allows patients to break the cost into smaller, manageable payments.

Many patients are surprised to learn that monthly payments can be similar to everyday expenses. When you look at it this way, vision correction can feel much more within reach.

4. Tax Advantages

Vision correction surgery is often considered a qualified medical expense. This means it may be tax deductible depending on your situation.

We recommend speaking with your tax advisor for details, but many patients appreciate the added financial benefit.
