There is no verified universal price for eye surgery across these clinics. Request a written quote for your proposed treatment and confirm whether it is per eye or for both eyes. For a US traveler, the relevant comparison includes treatment, travel, accommodation, and follow-up at home.
Start with an itemized treatment quote
Ask for the procedure and device or lens name, the number of eyes, surgeon and facility charges, diagnostic testing, medication, and postoperative visits. Confirm which items remain estimates until the examination.
Keep the original currency visible
If a clinic quotes in Korean won, keep that amount alongside any US-dollar estimate. Confirm the currency charged, exchange-rate basis, payment timing, card fees, and the validity period of the quote. A conversion is not a fixed USD price unless the clinic explicitly guarantees it.
Budget for the whole trip
Allow for flights, accommodation near the clinic, local transport, a companion if needed, and any extra stay. Also ask about follow-up costs in the US and how unplanned treatment would be handled. Do not assume insurance covers elective treatment abroad.
Understand cancellation and additional care
Request the deposit, cancellation, refund, and rescheduling terms in writing. Ask what happens if you are medically unsuitable, a different treatment is recommended, or you need additional care. Compare any enhancement policy by its conditions, not its headline.
Common questions
Is surgery in Korea always cheaper?
Not necessarily once travel and follow-up are included. Compare written, like-for-like quotes and your full trip budget.
Can I get a final quote online?
A clinic may provide an estimate, but the final procedure and price may change after examination. Ask what is fixed and what is conditional.
Should I compare prices per eye?
Yes. Clarify whether every quote covers one eye or both, and whether the same testing, medication, and follow-up are included.
