Eye Surgery Cost

Eye surgery cost varies depending on various factors. Normally when you mention price, it only refers to one eye and it will double if you plan to correct your two eyes.

Another reason why eye surgery cost varies is because different providers require different levels of preoperative tests. The preoperative tests are done because it is one way to prevent possible complications. And the prices of these tests are included in the eye surgery cost.

Aside from the prices of preoperative tests, the equipments that will be used in the surgery itself vary. Aside from the laser or surgery itself, the machines that are used to measure the thickness of the cornea, size of the pupil as the topography of the cornea are also part of the surgery cost.

Other factors that affect eye surgery are:

  • Use of laser
  • Royalty fee of laser manufacturer
  • Masks, gloves and gowns that are used in the surgery
  • Microkeratome blades, medicines and solutions that are used during the procedure
  • Staff who assist in the procedure

But if you are seriously planning to have an eye surgery, don't just choose the one that offers the lowest price, what is important is that the center and the ophthalmologist or surgeon who will do the procedure is licensed and trusted to do the eye surgery to avoid possible problems in the future.
