Currently, mainstream surgical methods for correcting myopia include excimer laser surgery, semi-femtosecond laser surgery, full-femtosecond laser surgery, and ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) implantation. The cost of laser vision correction surgery may range from 8,000 to 30,000 yuan per procedure, depending on the patient's city and the chosen medical facility.
Laser vision correction surgery uses laser technology to reshape the cornea, thereby improving vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The cost may be higher in major cities or premium private hospitals. Additionally, if the patient has medical insurance, certain insurance plans may cover part of the surgical expenses, so it is advisable to consult with the insurance provider in advance.
Patients are advised to promptly visit reputable hospitals or well-known ophthalmic specialty hospitals for consultation and examination. Under the guidance of professional doctors, patients should choose a suitable surgical method based on their individual ocular conditions and financial circumstances. It is also important to understand the risks and precautions associated with the surgery and to properly prepare before the procedure and care for the eyes afterward.
