PRK Cost
Millions of Americans have blurry vision as the result of nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
Laser vision correction procedures such as PRK can improve your vision and eliminate your need for glasses or contacts.
At Dr. Andrew Holzman’s offices in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia, we make PRK affordable without sacrificing quality of care.
Factors That Affect The Cost Of PRK
Regional Pricing
The cost of laser eye surgery is typically higher in a larger city or metro area such as Washington, DC, due to the higher cost of operating a business in urban versus rural regions.
Experience of Doctor
A surgeon with more education, training, and skill will typically charge more than a less experienced surgeon. It is never a good idea to compromise quality for price when it comes to laser eye surgery.

PRK Patient: “The Results Have Been Amazing”
2019
Dr. Holzman performed PRK surgery on me about a month ago, and I wanted to share my experience. My vision correction is so much better than with eyeglasses. Everything you can see (entire field of vision) is in focus for long-distance and middle-distance vision. Compared with eyeglasses, there is a wider field of view compared with glasses, but markedly less distortion and much sharper long-distance vision – my vision is better than with eyeglasses. If you are considering Lasik or PRK I recommend that you have an exam with Dr. Holzman and discuss your options. I’m happy I decided to have the procedure, and was really impressed by Dr. Holzman, and the results have been amazing – my eyesight is better than with eyeglasses!

PRK Offers Long-Term Savings
The Cost of Contacts & Glasses
Refractive surgery eliminates the cost of contact lenses, glasses, contact lens solution, repeat prescriptions, and additional vision products that can add up to hundreds of dollars per year. And if you could put a value on the convenience of vision care following PRK surgery, the savings would be even more profound.
The Cost of Health Complications
Corneal infections are common among even the most diligent contact users, often requiring multiple doctor visits, antibiotics, expensive professional-strength eye drops, and time off work. After refractive surgery, health complications as a result of contact lens use are no longer a concern.

PRK versus LASIK Surgery
PRK and LASIK surgery are similar because they both treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea with a laser. At our Washington, DC, practice, we recommend PRK when patients have thin or damaged corneas. Learn more about how these procedures work.
During LASIK, incisions are made in the outer layer of the cornea, the epithelium, to create a flap. This provides access to the underlying stroma layer of the cornea, which is reshaped with an excimer laser so that light focuses directly on the retina. Once the cornea has been reshaped, the flap is closed and patients are sent home to recover.
During PRK, the epithelial layer is removed altogether. Once the epithelium is removed, the surgeon reshapes the cornea with the laser. Special contact lenses are then placed in the eyes to protect them and help them heal as the epithelial layer grows back. This technique results in similar results but a longer recovery period than LASIK.
“It Was So Fast You Wouldn’t Even Know It Happened”
2020
Had my Surgery Wednesday and was immediately seeing so much better. As they say, the first 48 hours it fluctuates, bit no pain nor discomfort and my vision is stabilizing with amazing clarity! Dr. Holzman kept me cool, calm and collected the whole time, and it was so fast you wouldn’t even know it happened. Very appreciative I finally went ahead and did it!
2020
I just got my procedure done by Dr. Holzman. Talk about better than expected! Doc made it super comforting!! He prepped me in such away that it calmed all nerves going into the procedure. He even follows up personally the same night. Recommending him to everyone I know who wants to get laser vision.
