This guide aims to demystify laser eye surgery costs at Canberra Eye Laser, providing you with the information needed to make a well-informed decision about your vision correction journey.

Key takeaways from this article:

• Laser eye surgery costs typically cover the entire procedure, including pre-operative assessments, 
  the laser surgery itself, post-operative care, and sometimes even follow-up appointments.
• The final cost of your laser eye surgery can be influenced by several factors, such as the 
  specific procedure chosen, your individual needs, and the technology used.
• Canberra Eye Laser offers transparent pricing and flexible payment options, including payment 
  plans, to make laser eye surgery accessible.

What is Included in the Cost of Laser Eye Surgery?

At Canberra Eye Laser, we believe in providing a comprehensive and transparent experience. Our laser eye surgery fees encompass all the essential elements for successful vision correction:

• Consultation and Pre-operative Assessments: A thorough consultation with our optometrists to 
  discuss your candidacy, vision goals, and answer any questions you may have. This includes 
  a series of advanced diagnostic tests to evaluate your corneal health and suitability for laser eye surgery.
• Customised Laser Treatment: Using the latest technology available, our experienced surgeons 
  will customise a laser treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. This ensures optimal results 
  and vision correction specific to your eyes.
• Complete Post-operative Care Kit: You’ll receive a comprehensive post-operative care kit, 
  including essential eye drops, and protective eye shields to aid in healing and comfort following 
  your procedure.
• Post-operative Appointments: Scheduled follow-up appointments with our team are included to 
  monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing. These appointments are crucial for 
  maximising the long-term success of your laser eye surgery.
• Enhancement Procedures (if required): In some cases, an enhancement procedure might be 
  necessary to refine your vision further. Canberra Eye Laser includes coverage for potential 
  enhancements within the initial cost for up to 12 months following your initial surgery.

By understanding what’s included, you can be confident that the quoted price covers the entire laser eye surgery experience at Canberra Eye Laser.

Factors That Influence a Laser Surgery Cost

While we strive to offer competitive pricing, it’s important to note that several factors can influence the overall cost of your laser eye surgery. These include:

• Type of Laser Eye Surgery: Different laser eye surgery procedures, such as LASIK Pro, 
  PRK, or SMILE Pro, have varying levels of complexity and associated costs.
• Laser Eye Surgery Technology: there are a few different technology platforms available, 
  and Canberra Eye Laser has always worked with ZEISS to ensure state-of-the-art technology, 
  reliability and efficiency.

Is Laser Eye Surgery Covered by Private Health Insurance?

The coverage for laser eye surgery varies between different private health insurance providers. Some insurers offer partial or full coverage for certain procedures, while others may not cover it at all. It’s essential to check your policy details or contact your insurer directly to understand your coverage options.

Laser Eye Surgery Cost at Canberra Eye Laser

At Canberra Eye Laser, we believe in transparent pricing and offer competitive packages to suit your needs. While individual costs can vary, we provide upfront pricing to avoid unexpected expenses. 

The per-eye fee is all-inclusive, meaning that there are no additional upfront costs or ongoing costs for your procedure. It is worth noting that regular eye checkups with your own optometrist should be maintained, and this is not included in the laser eye surgery fee.

All fees associated with your laser eye surgery, including pre-operative assessments, the procedure itself, post-operative care, and potential enhancements, are clearly outlined in your treatment plan.
