The Vision for Life LASIK enhancement plan is our ongoing commitment to preserving your best possible vision. Our vision correction surgeons are committed to ensuring the long-term stability of your results, which is why we proudly offer the Vision for Life Plan for LASIK and PRK recipients. The plan covers laser enhancements related to the original vision correction, such as LASIK or PRK, for nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

Should your vision change over time and a laser enhancement be deemed medically appropriate, patients who enroll in the Vision for Life Plan are eligible to receive the enhancement procedure from an American Vision Partners surgeon at no additional cost.

Enrolling in the Vision for Life Plan is a breeze! If you’re a candidate for LASIK or PRK, you’ll have the fantastic opportunity to add this plan before your laser vision correction procedure. Our dedicated surgeon or care team is here to guide you through the program, answer all your questions, and clarify eligibility requirements. Prior to surgery, you’ll simply sign an acknowledgment to confirm your understanding of the plan’s terms. The one-time investment fee is $275 per eye, for a total of $550.

FAQ: Vision for Life

Enrollment is a one-time fee of $275 per eye ($550 total).

No, the Vision for Life Plan must be purchased before your original LASIK or PRK procedure.

No. Routine annual eye exams are not included in the Vision for Life plan and are billed separately through your vision or medical insurance, or paid out of pocket if applicable.

The plan is designed for changes related to the original refractive error treated by LASIK or PRK, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

The plan does not cover vision changes caused by cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, retinal conditions, eye injuries, presbyopia (age-related reading vision), or vision changes resulting from other eye surgeries. It also does not cover prescription medications, eyeglasses, contact lenses, medical devices, travel expenses, or routine eye exams.

If your original surgeon is unavailable, another qualified American Vision Partners surgeon can evaluate you and perform your enhancement if you’re eligible.

No, your eyes must remain healthy enough for another laser procedure. Factors such as corneal thickness, changes in eye health, or other medical conditions may make an enhancement unsafe or inappropriate.

There is no deadline. As long as you continue to meet the program’s eligibility requirements and maintain your annual eye exams, your benefits remain available if a medically necessary enhancement is recommended.

No, while many patients enjoy years of clear vision after LASIK or PRK, natural changes in the eyes can occur over time. Vision for Life provides peace of mind by covering eligible laser enhancements if they’re medically appropriate—not by guaranteeing perfect vision for life.
