I was told I'm not a LASIK candidate. Do I have any options?
Very often, yes. Being outside the safe range for LASIK — because of a high prescription, thin corneas, or dry eye — does not rule out EVO ICL, PRK, or refractive lens exchange. Those procedures exist precisely for eyes LASIK cannot treat safely. A free consultation measures your eyes and tells you which, if any, applies to you.
How do I know which procedure is right for me?
Your prescription, corneal thickness and shape, lens condition, and age determine it — not preference. We map your eyes with advanced diagnostic imaging at your free consultation and explain which options are open to you and why the others are not.
Is it safe? What if something goes wrong?
Price Vision Group has performed vision correction in Indianapolis for more than 30 years, and Dr. Francis Price helped write the LASIK guidelines the American Academy of Ophthalmology publishes for the field. Every procedure carries risk, and your surgeon reviews the specific risks for your eyes before you decide anything. You will know exactly what to expect before you say yes.
Does it hurt?
Numbing drops are applied before the procedure, so you should not feel pain — most patients describe brief pressure. Some scratchiness or light sensitivity is normal for a short time afterward and is managed with the drops we provide.
How much does it cost, and can I finance it?
Cost depends on which procedure your evaluation points to, which is why we give you a written quote at your consultation rather than a headline price. Payment plans are available through CareCredit and other lenders, and FSA and HSA funds are accepted. The consultation itself is free.
Will I need this done again later?
LASIK and EVO ICL provide permanent correction of the prescription treated. Your eyes still age afterward — presbyopia and cataracts can develop later in life regardless of surgery. LASIK enhancements within the first year are included in the price, and refractive lens exchange is designed so the lens you receive is the one you keep.
What is recovery actually like?
Most patients return to normal activity quickly, and every procedure here is outpatient. Recovery differs by procedure, so your care team walks you through the specific timeline, restrictions, and follow-up schedule for yours before surgery day.
Why Price Vision Group instead of a larger chain?
Because the credentials are checkable. This practice performed the first PRK, first modern LASIK, first bladeless LASIK, and first CONTOURA® Vision procedures in Indiana, has trained more than 600 ophthalmologists from 35 countries, and has conducted more than 160 clinical studies. Same city, same team, for more than 30 years.
