Are eye operations overpriced?

Author: Dr. Victor Derhartunian 3 February 2022

Is eye surgery too expensive for the patient?
That is a very relative question.
There are of course several aspects to consider.
Number one: we spend money on contact lenses and glasses throughout our lives or over several years.
Contact lenses are of course consumables, which means that we always have to buy new ones.
Glasses can also break, glasses need to be replaced and styles change.
This means that the frames have to be replaced.
That is the financial aspect.
The second aspect is the quality of life, which can’t necessarily be measured in money either.
You get up, you can actually see everything clearly straight away and that makes life very special, of course.
And there is another medical aspect, for example, if you wear contact lenses, wearing contact lenses often leads to eye inflammation, inflammation of the conjunctiva and inflammation of the cornea, which can also lead to blindness.
Corneal inflammation can lead to corneal scarring, which also impairs the quality of vision.
Of course, you have to think about all these factors, consider them carefully and then make a decision for yourself. I cordially invite you to contact our team personally.
During the first meeting you can ask initial questions and you can also gain a first impression of how we deal with patients and what you can expect from us.
