What Is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea so light focuses properly on the retina.
Because LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea, results are long-lasting.
LASIK treats common vision problems including:
- Myopia (nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
Because LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea, results are long-lasting.

LASIK vs Glasses & Contacts
Glasses & Contacts
Over time, the cost of glasses and contact lenses can exceed the cost of LASIK — with ongoing purchases, replacements, and upkeep adding up year after year.
LASIK
LASIK offers long-term convenience and potential savings a one-time investment that can last a lifetime.
Contacts can be riskier than LASIK
While contacts are common, long-term use carries a much higher risk of infection. Studies show up to 180x greater risk compared to LASIK — making LASIK a safer, long-term vision solution for many patients.
How Much Does LASIK Cost in Northern Virginia?
LASIK eye surgery in Northern Virginia typically costs between $2,000 and $3,500 per eye. The final price depends on the technology used, your prescription, and the level of customization your eyes require.
Three factors drive the cost: the procedure type (standard bladeless vs. topography-guided Contoura Vision), prescription complexity, and whether advanced mapping technology is used. Dr. Silk reviews this with every patient during the free evaluation so there are no surprises.
Most patients who wear glasses or contacts spend $500–$1,000 per year on corrective eyewear. LASIK typically pays for itself within 3–5 years — and the results are permanent. For most patients it's not just a medical decision, it's a financial one that makes sense long-term.
Silk Vision accepts HSA and FSA funds and offers flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry. Many patients break the cost into manageable monthly payments with zero-interest plans — making LASIK more accessible than most people expect.
