Our smart calculator is a quick way to compare the lifetime cost of glasses and/or contacts with the cost of LASIK surgery.
Answer the questions below for an estimate of how much you can expect to spend on contact lenses and glasses over your lifetime versus the cost of a LASIK procedure.
Calculation includes $50 for contact lens solution, cases, and other miscellaneous
items per year; $120 (per year) for a pair of prescription readers for anyone 45 years
