Refractive surgery cost calculator
Average price per eye. Check with your clinic and adjust if needed.
Prices vary by region, clinic, and agreements with insurers or employers. This calculator uses an average per-eye price for guidance — check with your refractive surgery centre and adjust the amount if needed. These prices apply to standard refractive surgery (eyes without pathology). Therapeutic refractive surgery has different pricing, sometimes covered by insurance.
