Lifetime LASIK Guarantees & Fine Print

“Lifetime” sounds simple—but policies vary. Understand the terms so you know what’s included.

What guarantees typically cover

• Eligibility for no‑cost or reduced‑cost enhancements within a defined window
• Requirements for stable refraction and healthy eyes
• Follow‑up schedule compliance

Common fine print

• Time limits (e.g., 12–24 months) and minimum prescription thresholds
• Exclusions for new conditions (e.g., cataract progression) outside LASIK’s scope
• Documentation needed to qualify

Questions to ask

• What qualifies me for a no‑cost enhancement—and what disqualifies me?
• How long does the policy last? What happens after it ends?
• Are there costs for evaluation or diagnostics before an enhancement?

Reality check

Most patients achieve goals without needing a touch‑up. A clear guarantee policy is still valuable for peace of mind.
