Illinois Medicaid typically does not cover LASIK as it is considered an elective procedure and not medically necessary. However, there may be exceptions if an eye condition cannot be corrected with glasses or contacts. We recommend contacting your Medicaid provider for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Additionally, we can provide advice on available financing options to make your vision correction journey more affordable.
Recovery time for LASIK surgery is relatively short. Most patients experience a significant improvement in vision within 24 hours after the procedure. However, it can take several weeks for vision to fully stabilize. Patients are generally advised to rest on the day of surgery and can usually return to work within a couple of days. We require a follow-up visit the day after surgery to monitor your recovery and provide any necessary care instructions.
