100% blade-free, all-laser LASIK by Dr. Paul C. Lee — 50,000+ procedures, over 98% achieving 20/20 or better. $4,000 both eyes, all-inclusive, enhancements included.
Across the city, LASIK runs roughly $1,500 to $4,000 per eye, averaging $2,588–$3,000. Here is where we sit, and what “all-inclusive” actually means.

We cost less than the local academic medical center does today, and will cost $1,500 per eye less than it does after July 2026 — with no separate deposit and enhancements included. Find a comparable all-inclusive quote in Los Angeles and we’ll match it — and see why LASIK prices differ so much between centers.
Here is the honest screen — and what we do instead when the answer is no.
Being told “you’re not a candidate” at a laser-only center means you leave with nothing. Here it means we move to the procedure that is right for you.
About 60–90 minutes. Monday to Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm, free parking at all three locations.
Stop wearing soft contacts for at least 3 days, rigid gas-permeable lenses for at least 3 weeks — contacts temporarily reshape the cornea and distort the measurements. Bring your glasses, lens details, medications and any prior surgery records.
Corneal topography · pachymetry · refraction · slit-lamp examination · dilated retinal exam · intraocular pressure · tear film and dry eye assessment.
A recommendation from Dr. Lee across every option, the reasoning explained, and your exact all-inclusive price. No obligation.
About 10–15 minutes for both eyes. The laser runs for well under a minute per eye.
You’re awake throughout — no needles, no general anesthesia.
You focus on a target light while the eye tracker follows micro-movements thousands of times per second.
The ZEISS VisuMax® creates a thin flap in about 15 seconds. No blade touches your eye.
The ALCON WaveLight® EX500 reshapes the cornea beneath. Seconds.
The flap adheres on its own. No stitches.
Someone drives you. Most patients see dramatically better the same day.
Go home and sleep — the most useful thing you can do. Mild burning and light sensitivity are normal.
Most patients see well enough to drive and return to desk work. Next-morning post-op check.
No rubbing your eyes. No swimming, hot tubs or eye makeup. Sunglasses outdoors.
Night halos fade and dryness improves. Contact sports and swimming typically clear.
Vision fully stabilizes; residual dryness resolves.
Your follow-up visits are already paid for — day one, week one, month one and beyond as needed. So is an enhancement, if you ever need one.
We’d rather you read this here than find a version of it somewhere less careful.
No procedure is, and any center claiming otherwise is selling. Over 98% of our LASIK patients achieve 20/20 or better, exceeding FDA trial benchmarks. A small percentage need an enhancement — included in your original price.
Dry eye is the most frequent, usually weeks to a few months. Halos and starbursts at night are common early and typically fade. Fluctuating vision and light sensitivity settle in the first weeks.
Flap complications, infection, under- or overcorrection, and very rarely corneal ectasia. The primary defense against all of them is screening — ectasia is almost always the consequence of operating on a cornea too thin or subtly irregular to begin with. Our willingness to say “not LASIK, let’s do EVO ICL instead” is why our numbers hold.
The corneal correction is permanent. What changes is your eye: a mild natural drift, and presbyopia, which arrives in your 40s for everyone. Neither is LASIK “wearing off.”
I have had poor vision my entire life — glasses since age 7, contacts since 12. My prescription was up to −13, and I was told I did not qualify for LASIK. After RLE with a LASIK touch-up, I can now see better than I ever did with contacts. It really feels like a miracle.Naeun R. — refractive lens exchange, Yelp
Waking up to 20/20 vision: yesterday I had LASIK done by Dr. Paul C. Lee and not even 24 hours later I can see and drive with no glasses or contacts.Shall F. — LASIK, Yelp
When it comes to LASIK, this is the place you want to go. They ran so many tests on my eyes prior to surgery and explained everything every step of the way.Angela M. — LASIK, Yelp
Across Los Angeles, LASIK runs roughly $1,500 to $4,000 per eye, averaging $2,588–$3,000. At CCRS it’s $4,000 for both eyes — $2,000 per eye — all-inclusive, covering the evaluation, medications, every post-operative visit and any future enhancement. SMILE is the same $4,000; PRK is $5,000; EVO ICL starts at $6,000 and RLE at $7,000. 0% financing available; FSA and HSA accepted.
No procedure is 100%. Over 98% of CCRS LASIK patients achieve 20/20 or better, exceeding FDA trial benchmarks. A small number need an enhancement, included in your original price.
The corneal reshaping is permanent. Most patients still see excellently a decade later. What can change is the eye itself: a small natural drift, and presbyopia, which affects everyone in their 40s whether or not they had LASIK.
For most patients, yes. Contacts and glasses cost roughly $450–$650 a year and never stop. LASIK at CCRS is $4,000 for both eyes, once. Most patients in their 20s and 30s break even between year seven and year nine.
It can be — but it may not be the best procedure. LASIK corrects distance vision and doesn’t prevent presbyopia. For many patients in their mid-40s and beyond, refractive lens exchange corrects both distance and near and permanently prevents cataracts.
No. Numbing drops make the procedure painless — you feel light pressure. Expect a few hours of grittiness afterwards, which sleeping through largely resolves.
Advanced corneal imaging, and a recommendation from Dr. Lee across every option — LASIK, SMILE, EVO ICL, PRK and RLE. No obligation.
