LASIK in Indianapolis
LASIK reshapes the cornea — the eye's front surface — so light entering the eye bends correctly, delivering clear vision without glasses or contacts. Almost 80% of CONTOURA® Vision LASIK patients at Price Vision Group are seeing better than 20/20.
Enhancements within the first year are included in the price of LASIK performed by Dr. Price or Dr. Feng.
A femtosecond laser creates a thin, hinged flap in the cornea — with no blade.

How it works
LASIK reshapes the eye's front surface, called the cornea, to improve focus. Light entering the eye bends correctly, delivering clear vision without glasses or contacts.
Price Vision Group has invested in the most advanced FDA-approved LASIK technology to ensure the safest, most precise laser vision correction procedures. Our custom nomogram — refined over three decades of Indianapolis patient outcomes — can only be found here.
The procedure
"LASIK" covers both what is being corrected and how the correction is delivered. Your consultation determines which combination fits your eyes.
Our team recommends the approach best suited to your eyes at your free consultation — including alternatives such as PRK, EVO ICL, or refractive lens exchange if LASIK isn't the right fit.
Candidacy
Candidacy comes down to three things, and all three are checked at your free consultation.
LASIK candidates need a stable prescription. The minimum age is 18, and most people have stabilized by around 21.
There is no strict upper limit. LASIK is routinely performed on patients in their 40s and 50s, though some are better suited to refractive lens exchange.
Corneal thickness, dry eye, and overall eye health are measured. Thin corneas may point toward PRK or EVO ICL instead.
Only a full evaluation can confirm candidacy. That evaluation is free at Price Vision Group.
Side by side
Both are LASIK. The difference is the data used to plan the treatment — and Price Vision Group was the first practice in Indiana to offer the topography-guided version.
| Attribute | CONTOURA® Vision | Conventional LASIK |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment planned from | An elevation map of your own cornea | Your glasses prescription |
| Corneal irregularities | Measured and accounted for in the plan | Not individually mapped |
| Outcomes at Price Vision Group | Almost 80% of patients see better than 20/20 | Excellent results; outcomes vary by prescription |
| First performed in Indiana | 2016 — here | 1995 — here |
| Flap creation | All-laser, bladeless | All-laser, bladeless |
| First-year enhancements | Included in the price | Included in the price |
The technology
Three things determine a LASIK outcome: the laser platform, the data guiding it, and the surgical judgment applied to both.
Price Vision Group performs LASIK on the WaveLight® Refractive Suite from Alcon — among the most advanced FDA-approved laser vision correction systems available.
Topography-guided treatment planning uses a detailed elevation map of your own cornea rather than your glasses prescription alone.
Our proprietary nomogram — the adjustment applied to every treatment plan — was developed from decades of Indianapolis patient outcomes and exists nowhere else.
Dr. Price helped write the LASIK guidelines used by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and has trained more than 600 ophthalmologists from 35 countries.
What to expect
Here's exactly what happens on your path to clear vision with Price Vision Group, in order.
Step 01
Comprehensive imaging and corneal mapping confirm your candidacy and help our team recommend the right procedure — LASIK, CONTOURA® Vision, or an alternative.
Step 02
Numbing drops keep you comfortable while a femtosecond laser creates the flap and an excimer laser reshapes the cornea to your plan. Both eyes are usually treated the same visit.
Step 03
Most patients return to work the next day and drive within one or two days. Vision can continue to settle for three to six months, and first-year enhancements are included.

Common questions
Our team answers candidacy questions over the phone, before you book anything.
LASIK candidacy
LASIK candidates need a stable prescription, which means a minimum age of 18. Most people have a stable prescription by around age 21, and your free consultation confirms whether yours has settled enough for LASIK.
There's no strict upper age limit, and LASIK is routinely performed on patients in their 40s and 50s. Candidacy depends on the health of your eyes rather than age alone; some older patients are better suited to an alternative such as refractive lens exchange.
Astigmatism can be corrected with LASIK for most people, including with CONTOURA® Vision topography-guided LASIK, alongside nearsightedness and farsightedness.
It's possible, but not always the final answer. Corneal thickness is one of several measurements taken during a comprehensive consultation. If LASIK isn't the right fit, our team can discuss alternatives such as PRK or EVO ICL.
Yes. Many patients who aren't LASIK candidates qualify for EVO ICL, PRK, or refractive lens exchange. A free consultation determines the best option for your eyes.
LASIK safety
Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during the procedure thanks to numbing eye drops, and only mild irritation for a short period afterward.
LASIK is one of the most studied elective procedures performed today, with more than 40 million people treated worldwide since 1991. Price Vision Group has invested in the most advanced FDA-approved LASIK technology to ensure the safest, most precise procedures, and our surgeons helped write the national guidelines other providers follow.
There are no reports of blindness as a direct result of a LASIK procedure. Serious complications are rare, and your free consultation includes a thorough evaluation to confirm you're a safe candidate.
A study of roughly 1,800 patients compared contact lens wearers with LASIK patients. Only 1% of the LASIK patients thought they were worse off after the procedure.
Dry eye is evaluated as part of your candidacy screening. In some cases an alternative procedure such as EVO ICL may be recommended if dry eye risk is a concern.
Yes. Most patients have both eyes treated during the same visit, which simplifies recovery and gets you to clear vision faster.
After LASIK
Most patients can drive within one or two days, once cleared at their first follow-up visit.
Patients usually return to work the next day, depending on the nature of their job and how quickly their vision stabilizes.
Vision improves quickly, but it can fluctuate for up to three to six months after surgery as your eyes finish healing. That's normal, and it's why follow-up visits are part of your care.
LASIK provides a permanent correction to your cornea. Your vision may still change with age due to normal processes such as presbyopia, but the LASIK correction itself does not wear off.
Enhancements are occasionally needed, and they are included within the first year after your procedure when performed by Dr. Price or Dr. Feng.
LASIK corrects distance vision but does not prevent presbyopia, the natural age-related loss of near focus that affects everyone over time. Patients approaching that stage may want to discuss refractive lens exchange as an alternative.
