Laser Vision Correction Fees & Costs in Brisbane

Understanding laser eye surgery costs

As with any medical procedure, it's important to know the fees associated with laser eye surgery upfront and understand what you are paying for in terms of appointments, surgical costs and follow-up care. At Eastside Eye Specialist Care, we provide straightforward, transparent pricing during your consultation for PRK or PTK laser eye surgery.

When considering laser vision correction, cost is naturally one of the key factors in your decision. We believe you deserve complete transparency about your investment, which is why we've laid out everything you need to know about our fees, what they include, and the value you receive.

Is the consultation really free? Yes, absolutely. Your initial consultation is completely free with no obligation to proceed.

What factors influence the laser surgery cost?

The surgeon's skill and experience are the first aspects to consider in the laser fees. These are both valuable traits for your safety and results. Dr. Joshua Hann is a Brisbane Ophthalmologist who not only helps his patients achieve better eyesight and healthy eyes but trains the next generation of eye specialists at the University of Queensland and in third-world countries through RANZCO.

He continuously learns new techniques and technologies to make sure Eastside Eye offers cutting-edge treatments to diagnose, manage and improve your ocular health and vision. The integrity of the centre and the surgeon's accomplishments are an integral part of the price of laser surgery.

Another aspect that affects laser fees is whether it is a package deal or an individual breakdown of costs. Some centres charge per eye and separate fees for consultations and follow-up care. In contrast, others offer packages that include these appointments and further vision correction surgery if the results are unsatisfactory.

The type of laser surgery will impact the price and the extent of correction. The degree of your refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism will affect the total fee because more corneal reshaping is required to improve your eyesight.

Dr. Hann believes in offering the latest technologies and surgical techniques. Using state-of-the-art lasers will also influence the cost of your laser surgery due to equipment and operating costs.

Which laser eye surgery pricing option suits you?

Our Ophthalmologist uses the latest technology to perform laser procedures at our Brisbane centre. We offer free consultations to learn more about your laser surgery options for better vision. When it comes to patient safety and satisfactory results, we spare no expense. Our laser fees include:

LASIK laser eye surgery

• $6,160.00 for both eyes
• Complete vision correction procedure
• All pre-operative assessments
• Surgery and post-operative care

PRK vision correction

• $2,420.00 for one eye
• $5,060.00 for both eyes
• Ideal for thinner corneas or active lifestyles
• Full treatment package included

PTK therapeutic treatment

• Medicare covers a portion of the procedure with a $400.00 GAP
• Medical treatment for corneal conditions
• Not for vision correction but corneal healing

These costs are comprehensive and include the initial appointment, further testing at a second appointment, the laser procedure and follow-up care.

LASIK laser eye surgery and PRK are vision correction procedures that reshape the curvature of your cornea to correct your eyesight and achieve clear vision.

PTK is a different procedure that does not provide vision correction but addresses cornea damage from eye conditions or injuries such as REES, granular dystrophy, surface irregularities and corneal scars. PTK is eligible for Medicare coverage because it is medically necessary.
