Laser eye surgery is a technique that uses lasers to improve vision. It can help patients correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

The cost of laser eye surgery varies depending on the technology and region, generally ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 yuan. Common types of laser surgeries include SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction) and LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), each with different pricing.

SMILE surgery, known for its high precision and rapid recovery, tends to be more expensive, typically costing between 15,000 and 30,000 yuan. In contrast, LASIK surgery is moderately priced and suitable for a broader range of patients. Additionally, patients may need to pay extra fees, including costs for eye examinations, medications, and laser equipment usage.
