WHAT AFFECTS THE PRICE
What shapes your quote
The procedure
LASIK, SMILE, LASEK, PRK, ICL and lens surgery differ in technology and time.
Your prescription
Higher myopia or astigmatism can change the recommended procedure.
Corneal thickness
Thin corneas may point to LASEK, PRK or ICL instead of LASIK.
Lens choice
For ICL, RLE and cataract surgery, the IOL type (multifocal, trifocal, toric, EDOF) matters.
Your eye health
Dry eye or other conditions can affect the plan.
