Per-eye procedure & pricing
Each eye defaults to its own recommendation from PRISM IQ, when opened from there — fully editable per eye, since OD and OS don't always end up on the same procedure.
Pricing & comparison settings
Applies to both eyes.

How this compares outside El Paso
Aggregated 2026 published cost-guide ranges per eye, standard pricing (non-promotional). Regional figures are directional market ranges, not competitor quotes — actual clinic pricing varies.
Why patients choose us over the alternatives
Built from what's actually in the package — plus a few things worth adding to the conversation.
Comparing surgery here vs. across the border
El Paso patients often price-shop against clinics in Juárez. It's a fair question to ask — the honest answer is that the gap usually isn't about price alone, it's about what happens if something needs a second look afterward.
- Every post-op visit is with your treating surgeon, in person, for a full year
- Candidacy is verified with dilated exams and corneal mapping before you're scheduled — not after
- If your prescription or corneal profile doesn't fit LASIK/PRK, you're told that — you're not defaulted into a different procedure without a full conversation about the trade-offs
- Enhancement, if you need one, is already built into your price for the first year
- U.S. malpractice and licensing recourse if something goes wrong
- No travel, no time away from work or family for follow-up care
- Who examines you before surgery, and how thoroughly — a rushed screening is how non-candidates get treated anyway
- What happens if you develop a complication (like DLK or epithelial ingrowth) after you've gone home
- Whether enhancement is discussed as a real possibility up front, and what it costs if you need one
- Whether age and accommodation needs were factored in — patients under ~45 who still qualify for LASIK/PRK can lose near-vision accommodation permanently if placed in a lens exchange instead, without being told there was another option
- Who you call, and where you go, if something isn't right three weeks after you're back home
Patients come to us after being treated elsewhere — including across the border — with DLK or epithelial ingrowth that wasn't caught early, needing an enhancement they were never told was a possibility, or facing loss of near-vision accommodation from a lens exchange they didn't need and weren't the right candidates to avoid. None of this means every out-of-country provider is unsafe — it means it's worth asking these questions before surgery, not after.
