Making the Finances Work

I am assuming that the reason you would choose me to perform your Laser Vision Correction Surgery (LASIK or PRK) would be your confidence in my judgement, skill and experience. However, I realize that affordability will play a role in your decision. The payment options listed below are available to you to help make Laser Vision Correction a reality for you.

While price is, obviously, a consideration in choosing a Laser Vision Surgeon, there are other concerns, such as safety and quality of care, that are more important than just price. Read more about how to evaluate safety and quality of care, and not just price, when you are selecting your Laser Vision Correction Surgeon.

Our Enhancement Agreement

Eligibility

    • You are eligible for the Enhancement Agreement if you have had PRK or LASIK originally performed by Richard Levinson, MD.
    • You have completed the course of post-operative care and visits that were recommended by Dr. Levinson.
    • Following completion of all of your post-operative treatment (included for one year after your original procedure), you will need to have annual, comprehensive eye exams with Dr. Levinson. If Dr. Levinson is not a provider with your insurance, he will offer 25% off the customary fees.
    • Dr. Levinson must deem that an enhancement is medically safe, appropriate and has a high probability of better correcting your vision.
    • Any enhancement done after two years from your original PRK or LASIK procedure will be $250 per eye if you continued having annual, comprehensive eye exams with Dr. Levinson. If you have missed any annual exams with Dr. Levinson, the fee is $750 per eye.

Exclusions

There are specific exceptions and conditions when enhancements will not be advised and will not be covered by the Enhancement Agreement.

    • Patients that fail to comply with the recommended course of treatment as previously defined.
    • Patients that have vision decreased from trauma to the eye.
    • Patients whose corneas are too thin for safe treatment.
    • Patients that have had RK, ALK, PKP, or any other previous vision correction with a surgeon other than Dr. Levinson.
    • Patients diagnosed with diseases that would compromise a successful treatment (cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, uncontrolled glaucoma, etc.).
    • Patients seeking an enhancement as a result of presbyopia (a normal aging process when the lens of the eye loses its elasticity) after having both eyes corrected for distance. However, monovision correction is available to correct presbyopia for a separate fee.

Study the Financial Details

“I cannot say enough about the LASIK procedure that Dr. Levinson performed on my eyes. As an attorney I spend a good part of each day reading materials. I have noticed since my LASIK surgery, my eyes don’t get nearly as tired and sore toward the end of the day as they did when I wore contacts. Thank you again for the wonderful gift!”
