For Uptown residents who frequently commute downtown or to other parts of Chicago, LASIK can be a game-changer. You'll enjoy clearer vision whether you're catching the Red Line at Wilson station or driving down Lake Shore Drive.
Post-surgery, we recommend taking a day off to rest. Consider scheduling your procedure on a Friday, giving you the weekend to recover before diving back into your urban routine.
The LASIK procedure itself is remarkably quick, typically taking only 15-20 minutes for both eyes. However, plan to spend about 2-3 hours at our downtown Chicago office on the day of your surgery. (1)
This allows time for pre-operative preparations and post-operative instructions. Given the travel time from Uptown, we recommend setting aside a full day for your procedure, giving you ample time to navigate downtown Chicago without feeling rushed.
While most insurance plans consider LASIK an elective procedure and don't provide coverage, some Chicago-based employers offer vision plans that include LASIK discounts. We also provide various financing options to make LASIK more accessible for our Uptown patients. During your consultation, we'll review all payment options to find a solution that aligns with your budget, ensuring that clearer vision is within reach for every Uptown resident.
