LASIK cost in Korea: what shapes the price

Prices for vision correction in Seoul vary by procedure, technology and what is included. Here is how to read a quote, and how to get yours.

What drives the cost

  • Procedure type: surface laser (LASEK/PRK) is usually the lowest, LASIK and SMILE in the middle, SMILE Pro and ICL higher
  • Technology: newer laser platforms such as the VisuMax 800 cost more to operate
  • Prescription and astigmatism: toric ICL lenses, for example, are custom-made
  • Diagnostics, medications and follow-up visits: included or extra?

What a fair quote includes

  • The full pre-operative examination
  • Surgery for both eyes
  • Post-operative medications
  • Scheduled follow-up visits in Seoul
  • Written aftercare instructions in your language

Why we quote after testing

Your measurements decide which procedures are safe for you. A number given before testing can change once your corneal thickness and prescription are known, so we give a clear written quote at the consultation.

How to get your quote

Send your prescription, age and travel dates on WhatsApp. A coordinator replies with guidance on likely options and arranges your examination.

Be cautious of very low advertised prices that exclude the exam, drops or follow-up, and of any clinic that recommends surgery without full testing.
