What Affects the Cost of Laser Eye Surgery in Perth?

Different laser eye surgery procedures use different technologies and techniques, which influence how much they cost. For example:

  • SMILE involves advanced flapless laser technology.
  • LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap before laser correction.
  • PRK is a surface-based procedure without flap creation.
  • PresBYOND is specifically designed for presbyopia, correcting both near and distance vision using advanced customised laser technology.

Your suitability for each laser eye surgery procedure is determined during your comprehensive assessment.

We do not vary pricing based on prescription strength or minor variations in complexity. The recommended laser eye surgery procedure is the key factor influencing cost.

Laser Eye Surgery: Health Cover, Insurance and Payment Options

Is the Cost of Laser Eye Surgery Covered by Medicare?

Laser eye surgery is considered an elective procedure and therefore, is not eligible for a Medicare rebate. This means Medicare does not contribute to laser eye surgery costs, so patients are responsible for the full fee. Private health insurance or financing options may help reduce out-of-pocket expenses. 

Does Private Health Insurance Cover the Cost of Laser Eye Surgery

Some health funds such as Bupa, HBF and Police Health may pay a portion or the whole amount of your laser eye surgery costs. The amount covered will depend on: 

  • Your insurance cover 
  • The type of procedure performed 
  • The specific terms of your policy 

You would need to enquire with your health fund about the level of assistance they can provide prior to surgery to confirm this. To learn more about financing laser and LASIK eye surgery and the associated costs in Perth through participating health funds, please click here.
