Patient Financing
If you're like most people, you probably have a number of questions about LASIK - especially about how to pay for the surgery. The Nielsen Eye Center is dedicated to making LASIK eye surgery affordable for all interested patients. For this reason we provide the very best financing options in vision correction.
At The Nielsen Eye Center, we are committed to offering only the safest and most effective procedures available, while constantly staying on the cutting edge of laser and implant technology.
Most insurance companies consider refractive surgery to be an elective procedure, so it is often not covered under basic health or vision plans. Because we feel that finances shouldn’t stand in the way of clearer vision, The Nielsen Eye Center has developed the following payment options to assist in making corrective surgery as affordable as possible.
The Nielsen Eye center is proud to honor the most beneficial discount benefit available to our patients. Each patient is entitled to one discount benefit per procedure.
As a service to our patients, we are pleased to offer the CareCredit card, the nation's leading patient payment program. CareCredit lets you begin your procedure immediately—then pay for it over time with low monthly payments that are easy to fit into your monthly budget. So, you can begin your vision care today and conveniently pay with low, monthly payments.
