Price of an eye exam no insurance?

Hi there! An eye exam with no insurance is $129. If you have any further questions, please reach out to our team at (480) 967-4910. We're happy to help!

Do they take tricare insurance?

I don't know the answer, but suggest you call. There was a mix-up with my insurance and what they covered and didn't so make sure to call and check it out.

I do not recommend LASIK Vision Institute. I had LASIK done at the location in Tempe with Dr Kao…read moreand had a terrible experience: 1. LASIK Vision does NOT use a laser to cut the flap in your eye for LASIK. They use a blade. This is an outdated and less accurate method and caused complications on my left eye so the surgery had to be aborted. I recommend you only go to a center that performs all laser LASIK, such as LASIKPlus in North Scottsdale. 2. LASIK Vision when performing PRK uses a scraper to scrape off your eye's top layer. I recommend you go to a center that uses a liquid to dissolve it. Overall, the staff (including Dr Kao) was very friendly. I'm just still so mad that they didn't tell me they would use a blade to cut into my eye. When you get LASIK, all they talk about is laser this and laser that, and you think it's so high tech, but then they use an outdated method to cut into your eye which in my opinion is by far the scariest part of the procedure. LASIK Vision did end up giving me a full refund (after I fought for it) but I cannot in good will recommend them to anyone until they get their act together and spend the money on new equipment and use newer, safer, procedures.

I got lasik almost a year ago and my vision still sucks. I came in after a few months and they said…read moreI have 20/20 but my night vision is TERRIBLE, If the lighting is dim at all I find myself squinting, desperate to see things. I have constant dry eyes, and I guess if I put eye drops in (given that it's full light and everything is week lit) I can see more clearly, but that's just momentarily. After spending thousands on this, I'm going back to an eye doctor (and pay another few hundred) to get glasses. DO NOT GET LASIK. it's not worth the money. You will see much better with glasses. I wish I could get my money back. Worst money I've ever spent and I'm still paying this off. I WANT MU MONEY BACK.

I have been putting this operation off for decades. I was too fearful to go through with it…read more Contacts and glasses were always a constant. Always a slight nuisance. My vision started hitting a point where corrective lenses were just not working out for me. Blur with distance, blur with near sight, halos at night - I was getting increasingly frustrated. Finally I decided I had prolonged this long enough. It was time to take back my vision and own my life. I set up an appointment. The free consultation was amazing. They checked my eyes out. They asked what results I was looking for. They told me what I could and could not expect. As a guy in my 40s, they made sure I knew that I may need readers to see near objects. They made sure I knew that my results may not be amazing. I was told that this was an elective surgery and it may just be better to stick with contacts and glasses. They obviously did not just want my money, but wanted to make sure I knew what I was in for and prepared for the outcome. They wanted me to be informed and happy with my decision. It was truly outstanding service. I opted in. I was ready. Readers are fine. My vision was just a mess with contacts. The fear of the procedure tickled my stomach, but I knew I needed to do it. On the day of the procedure, rain was coming down. Not an omen, but it did hold up traffic and flights and the surgeon was delayed. No worries, the outcome would be the reward. I waited at the office. The staff was incredible and friendly. They even treated me to Starbuck's and snacks. They made sure I was comfortable and happy. The wait was honestly enjoyable. Not the typical clinic wait where you are in a room full of dread and dour faces. Finally, it was my time. I was taken into a room. All of the worry stopped. I had built this up into something horrible. I was worried about sneezing and blinking and making the machine mess up. There was none of that. You are comfortably 'anchored' in place. The doctor is confident and reassuring. He walks you through the whole process. He was gentle and awesome. You are on a bed with your eyelids held in place (not unpleasant, even though it sounds like it could be). The machine hovers above and you look into small aperture. There is a slight pressure as the process goes about it's business. It is not exactly pleasant, but it is brief and easy enough to withstand. You are guided to look at a green light while the surgery takes place. You do not see the lasers working on your eyes, just a green blur. You will smell an odor as the lasers do their work. The entire process lasted less than ten minutes, for both eyes, in my estimation. Once I was done, I was able to go out to my ride. Light sensitive, but they give you sunglasses. For the first time in thirty years, I could see unaided. I honestly felt a little choked up on the way home as I read the fine print of buildings and street signs. The literature they provide gives you a deep insight into the future. On the way home, as noted, my eyes were very heavy. I kept them closed for the duration of the ride. There was an unpleasant sensation that was familiar. When I wore contacts too long, there was a burning sensation and the muscles in the eyes flexed and watered trying to take care of business. This was the same sensation. It was not fun, but it was not overwhelming. As per the literature, I slept for four hours once I got home. The unpleasant burning was gone. My eyes were still light sensitive, but I was much better. Today is the day after. I feel great. I am keeping my eyes moist. There is no pain. There is a slight, and I mean very slight, irritation. I know I had the procedure, but it feels like an early morning without much sleep, it doesn't feel like I am recovering from an operation. In a couple of hours, I am going to drive across town for the follow up. Something I could not have fathomed, even a month ago. I am very happy with the results so far. I am very happy I chose this clinic to perform the procedure. I am very happy with the care provided and the smiling faces at this location. This is an amazing business. I feel like I was granted superpowers overnight. Don't put your life off any longer. Get a free consultation and own your vision again!

6 years later still seeing beautifully! Thank you LASIK Vision Institute! What are you waiting for?…read moreChange your life.

I found myself coming here on the recommendation of my primary doctor who wanted me to get more…read morethan just a general eye exam from Lens Crafters. I wasn't sure what to expect here having seen their ads endlessly on tv and passing BDP buildings all over town, including up in Globe. Perhaps I expected them to be franchised and soulless, without any real people or knowledge beyond their slick marketing pieces. Sort of like politicians. It is occasionally nice to find that reality does not match your expectations, and BDP is one of those places. Everybody there was genuinely nice, and I had to do a lot of different tests with more than a few specialists. All of them took the time to explain what they were doing and the results. The docs assistants (who lets face it do most of the work, and are the unsung hero's) were all great as well and deserve a huge thumbs up as well.

My grandma was a new patient and check in process and call back was quick! Was taken back into a…read moreroom for testings and Sydney took care of us! She was so kind, patient and understanding towards us and my grandma. Did not feel rushed at all. It's the type of service and care that is not always given in other clinics and places. Thank you to Sierra for helping me with a question and went out of her way to figure it out :) Thank you both for taking your time with us !
