For patients interested in LASIK or PRK eye surgery, Carlsbad Eye Care offers financing through CareCredit, which is a credit card that patients can use for healthcare services such as LASIK or PRK.

CareCredit for Your Vision Needs

CareCredit has an easy online application process. Since health insurance does not cover LASIK, PRK, or other elective procedures, CareCredit can be a good option for those who wish to pay for their surgery in monthly installments over time, rather than in one lump sum.

If you’re interested in applying for a CareCredit account to help finance your LASIK or PRK surgery, please complete this online CareCredit application.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vision Correction

Below are some of the most common questions regarding CareCredit. If you have a question that’s not listed below, please contact Carlsbad Eye Care by calling (760) 603-9910.

Q: I already pay for glasses and contact lenses each year. Isn’t LASIK or PRK too expensive?

A: It may seem like the cost of LASIK or PRK surgery is a large investment, but when comparing LASIK or PRK to the cost of glasses and contacts, it’s important to remember the cost of maintenance over time. The goal of LASIK and PRK surgery is to allow patients to be less dependent on glasses and contact lenses. In most cases, patients no longer need to worry about purchasing new glasses, contact lenses, cleaning supplies, or other materials necessary for maintaining good vision. Over the years, the cost of getting new prescriptions, new glasses, and new contact lenses can easily become more than the initial cost of LASIK or PRK surgery itself.

Q: How can I determine my monthly payments for CareCredit?

A: By using CareCredit’s online payment calculator, patients can get a good idea of what their monthly payments will be. For LASIK and PRK, patients will receive 6 months of interest-free financing. If you’re using a CareCredit card to pay for your surgery, please be sure to take some time to understand CareCredit’s terms, such as when you may be charged interest, and what the interest rates may be.
