Laser Eye Surgery Costs

How Much Does Laser Eye Surgery Cost?

Cost is a major consideration for many people when deciding whether to have laser eye surgery. While it may seem like a big upfront investment, laser eye surgery may be a more cost-effective option if you add up the ongoing expense of glasses and contact lenses over the years. Furthermore, there’s also the time and inconvenience of daily maintenance of contact lenses that you save on in the long run.

All treatments with Dr Joanne Goh are customised to suit your eyes, prescription, age and lifestyle. No two eyes are the same; therefore Dr Goh will see all patients at the initial consultation to discuss your treatment plan with you. If other procedures are more suited to your eye condition, this will also be discussed at your appointment.

In Melbourne, the average cost of laser eye surgery ranges anywhere from $2000 to well over $3000 per eye. We will provide you with a detailed quote for your laser eye surgery at your initial consultation.
