How Much Does LASIK Cost in Los Angeles? What the Price Includes and What It Doesn't

Prices advertised by Los Angeles LASIK practices mostly fall between about $1,500 and $4,000 per eye, and several practices put the local average near $3,000 per eye. Those prices are almost always per eye, so double the figure for both eyes, then check what the quote covers: exams, follow-ups, technology upgrades and future touch-ups.

Key points

  • Prices on Los Angeles practice websites mostly run about $1,500 to $4,000 per eye. Several practices cite an LA average near $3,000 per eye.
  • LASIK is usually priced per eye. Double the advertised number before you compare offers.
  • A low "starting at" price may apply to very few people. In an FTC case, only about 6.5% of consultation patients qualified for an advertised $250 or $295 per-eye price.
  • IRS Publication 502 counts laser eye surgery as a medical expense. The 2026 health FSA limit of $3,400 likely won't cover both eyes on its own.
  • Get the enhancement (touch-up) policy in writing. Published examples range from free in the first year to $400 or more per eye after that.

This page explains how LASIK is priced in Los Angeles, why advertised prices and final quotes can differ, and how people typically pay. It is not medical advice. Whether LASIK is right for your eyes is a question for an ophthalmologist who has examined you. For candidacy and procedure options, see our LASIK and refractive surgery guide.
