How much does laser eye surgery cost?
Disease description:

Laser eye surgery is a procedure that corrects vision by using a laser to reshape the corneal tissue. The cost typically ranges from 5,000 to 35,000 yuan per procedure. The exact price is influenced by various factors, including the type of surgery, geographic location, and the patient's individual eye condition.
Excimer laser surgery generally costs between 5,000 and 15,000 yuan per procedure. This type of surgery is suitable for patients with mild myopia and sufficient corneal thickness. Semi-femtosecond laser surgery usually ranges from 10,000 to 25,000 yuan per procedure. This procedure combines femtosecond laser technology with a mechanical microkeratome for corneal incision and is suitable for most patients with myopia. Full femtosecond laser surgery typically costs between 15,000 and 35,000 yuan per procedure. It involves using a femtosecond laser to create and remove a corneal lens without creating a corneal flap, resulting in a smaller incision, less trauma, and faster recovery.
To obtain accurate pricing information, patients are advised to consult reputable medical institutions to understand the costs of different surgical options and make informed decisions based on their financial situation. Additionally, postoperative care should follow the physician's instructions for regular follow-up visits in order to prevent eye infections or complications.
