Because LASIK treatment permanently
alters your vision, you want the best. The quality
of our surgery and high level of personal attention
we provide patients have resulted in our reputation
as a center of excellence throughout the Pacific Northwest.
At Pacific Cataract and Laser
Institute we provide premium care and treat patients
as we would like to be treated. We do not take shortcuts
to save a dollar and we don't believe in the ethics
of discounting fees to simply increase volume
of procedures. Our surgeons give more of themselves
and their skills—not less. Your family eye doctor
will agree that saving a few dollars with a laser
center that cuts corners is not worth the risk.
We do not advertise or promote our services
to the general public. Instead, as a highly specialized
eye center, Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute accepts
patients only on the recommendation
and referral of their family optometric physician.
Your family eye doctor will:
- Evaluate your vision goals to determine
if you are a good candidate
- Perform numerous eye tests and then
share the results with the surgeon
- Document any pertinent information
from your vision history for our surgeon
- Perform important follow-up examinations
at prescribed intervals to ensure proper
healing.
- Closely monitor key aspects of your
vision during your recovery to ensure
that you achieve the best possible
outcome
Please discuss with your family eye doctor
the fees he or she has established for the crucial
care provided to LASIK patients.
Our fee for surgery is $1400
per eye and includes:
- In-depth pre-operative consultation
and testing—in addition to what
your referring doctor provides
- The surgical procedure
- Standard medications and eye drops
- Availability of our doctors for care of any
complication that may occur during the
healing period
- Free enhancement treatment for life—if
it is needed. This is available as
long as you are under the care of an
optometric physician and are examined
annually.
For your convenience it may be possible to make one payment for all the care associated with LASIK. Our surgeons, and over 600 family eye doctors, have contracted with Pacific Eyecare Network to collect a single payment—then reimburse them according to their normal charges. This global billing arrangement also makes it possible for you to finance the entire fee to spread the cost over several months or years.
This procedure is an excellent
investment in your quality of life and personal well
being. It will change your life! We are happy to provide
payment options that make high quality LASIK affordable
for almost everyone's budget.
To offer easy monthly payments,
we have partnered with one of the nation's top medical/dental
financing providers. It takes only minutes to apply
and you can select the terms that best suit your
budget. Best of all, payments can be as low as
$76 per month for treatment of both eyes.

your monthly payment could be, use our
payment calculator.
If you prefer to pay by cash, check or credit card, payment is due on the day of surgery.
We accept all major credit cards
including:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- Discover
- American Express
- CareCredit
Your employer may offer a medical
spending account, which allows you to set aside pre-tax
dollars to pay for medical expenses. This can result
in substantial savings. Please contact your employer
for more details.
Unfortunately, most insurance
companies do not cover laser vision correction. However, if
your insurance provider does offer a LASIK benefit,
our staff will be happy to assist in filing your
claim.
