A LASIK exam is a crucial first step in determining your suitability for LASIK surgery. It is designed to evaluate your eyes and decide whether or not you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery. The exam involves 14diagnostic tests that assess your vision and the health of your eyes. It also gives you an opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns you might have about the procedure with Dr. Manger.

The vast majority of health insurance plans consider LASIK to be cosmetic or elective and do not typically cover LASIK surgery. Some plans may offer a discount for members interested in the procedure. We can provide an itemized superbill that patients may submit to their insurance company for any possible reimbursement, but we do not bill directly through insurance.Check out other forms of payment and financing options here.
