We believe that everyone should have access to quality vision care.
That’s why we offer a range of payment options and financial assistance programs to make lens implantation more affordable.
We accept all major credit cards and can offer monthly payment plans for up to 60 months.
On this page we go into detail about the cost factor for you.
Quality has its price – as we want to offer our patients the highest quality, the demands we place on ourselves, our equipment technology and further training are correspondingly high.
We strive to ensure quality at every step of the process, so you can be sure: When you choose us, you are choosing the best in their field.

However, before we can start an eye treatment, a suitability test and a comprehensive preliminary ophthalmological examination are required.
In a free aptitude test, we subject your eyesight to a thorough examination and advise you on the available options.
This aptitude test and consultation is ideal for anyone who would like to find out without obligation what treatment options are available to them.
It is of course also possible to book an aptitude test with a comprehensive examination, which costs €200.
This is a good option for those who want to see a specialist and receive a comprehensive treatment plan.
If laser eye surgery, lens implantation or any other treatment is deemed unsuitable or not desired by the patient, we will only charge for the ophthalmologic examination and contact lens simulation (e.g. monovision).

What are the costs of eye surgery?
And why are they so high?

The cost of eye surgery can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the procedure and the specific needs of the patient.
In general, more complex procedures such as laser eye surgery can cost anywhere from a few hundred to well over a thousand €.
Some health (supplementary) insurances may cover all or part of these costs, but in most cases patients have to pay out of pocket.
The high cost of eye surgery is due to several factors, such as the specialized equipment used during the procedure, the expertise of the surgeons and other medical professionals involved in performing it, and the potential complications that can occur with any surgical procedure.
In addition, new technologies and research to improve existing treatments often drive up costs.
The cost of the diagnostic equipment alone is around €150,000 to €300,000, the price of the femtosecond laser is around €500,000 and the user fees per eye are between €250 and €450.
The cost of an excimer laser, which is used to reshape the eyes, is usually between €150,000 and almost €450,000.
As we offer you the best possible quality, we tend to be at the upper end of the financial chain in terms of purchase price.
The cost of training an eye surgeon should also be taken into account, as training usually takes 18 years or more after graduation.
Then there are the costs associated with running a world-class clinic in a major city, such as room rental, staff costs and insurance.
As you can see, it all adds up.
But now we come to the exact costs of lens implantation that you will have to deal with:

Lens implantation: financing options

Lens implantation is a very helpful procedure for people who suffer from vision problems.
However, it can be expensive, and not everyone has the financial means to pay for the procedure out of pocket.
Fortunately, there are financing options that make the procedure more affordable.
Some insurance companies may cover at least a portion of the cost, and many eye clinics offer financing options that allow you to split the payments into smaller installments.
In addition, many eye clinics work with companies that offer low-interest loans specifically for healthcare expenses like lens implantation.
If you’re considering lens implantation but are concerned about the cost, find out about all the financing options so you can see clearly again without going broke.
We offer you the option of a monthly installment payment that matches your contact lens costs, or you can pay the financing in 6 months with a down payment but without interest.
Our partner bank will be happy to advise you on the best solution for you.
There are various payment options for laser eye surgery.
We offer you several payment and financing options for laser eye surgery.
– 3 installments within 6 months Eyelaser offers financing options that allow you to pay for your laser eye surgery in 3 installments over a period of 6 months.
– Monthly financing with a loan Our partner bank offers loan options to finance your laser eye surgery.
Repayment can be made in monthly installments at a favorable interest rate of currently 6.6% for up to 5 years (12 months).

Our methods

The lens implants, also known as implantable contact lenses (ICL), are designed to correct refractive errors from -20 to +8 diopters and can help restore clear vision.
They are an excellent choice for patients over 19-55 if they wish to leave the natural lens untouched.
The ICLs are placed in front of the natural lens and can provide long-term sharp vision.
Although the lenses usually need to be fitted for life, the cost of such a procedure is generally very manageable when compared to the cost one would pay for contact lenses over a lifetime.
For those who already suffer from cataracts, surgery (lens replacement in this case) with higher quality lenses can also mean that they can lead a life without glasses after a successful operation.
Regardless of whether you have poor vision due to an existing cataract (lens replacement) or need additional correction due to age-related eye changes, an ICL lens implant may be worth considering.
Below we offer you an overview of our implantation methods:

Multifocal lenses: Costs

Multifocal lenses can be expensive compared to normal single vision lenses.
The cost of multifocal lenses depends on the type and complexity of the lens as well as the strength of vision required.
Generally, progressive lenses are more expensive than bifocal or trifocal lenses because they have advanced technology and better optics.
In addition, progressive lenses require a special fitting procedure, which adds to the cost.
Multifocal contact lenses are also available, but they tend to be more expensive than glasses.
Insurance coverage can vary depending on the provider, so you should find out what the costs are beforehand.
Despite their higher price, multifocal lenses offer a number of benefits and better quality of vision compared to normal glasses or contact lenses, so they are worth considering for anyone who wants better vision.
The amount here is around €3,500, with installments starting at €68 per month*.
We will be happy to advise you and put you in touch with our partner bank.
Distance and reading glasses will then be a thing of the past, but the costs for lens implantation are not only worthwhile in terms of appearance, comfort and visual acuity – the costs for the implanted lenses also pay for themselves in the long term.
These are trifocal/EDOF implants and astigmatism correction is included.

Phakic lenses (ICL): Costs

Intraocular collamer lenses (ICLs) are a type of phakic lens used to correct vision in people with refractive errors.
ICLs are an increasingly popular option for vision correction as they have been proven to be safe and effective.
The cost of ICL surgery depends on the clinic you go to and the type of procedure you need.
In general, the cost of ICL surgery ranges from €2,500 to €3,500 per eye, although some clinics may charge more or less.
However, it is important to note that this does not include the cost of pre-operative tests and post-operative care.
In addition, some health insurance companies will cover all or part of the cost of ICL surgery – it’s best to check with your insurer beforehand if you are considering this procedure.
Although ICLs can be expensive upfront, many people find that the improved vision they get from the lenses is worth the cost.
Again, we are looking at around €3,500 or €68/month*.
This treatment is for patients who are not suitable for laser treatment and takes place using Visian ICL with advanced EVO and EVO+ features.
Astigmatism correction is also included in the cost of this option.

Refractive lens exchange

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is a surgical procedure that can improve the vision of people with certain refractive errors.
It involves replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
This new IOL helps to focus light better on the retina, allowing for clearer and sharper vision.
The RLE can be used to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.
It is generally considered a safe and effective option for correcting refractive errors similar to laser vision correction surgery.
In addition, it has been shown that fewer or no glasses are needed after the operation.
For those who want to improve their vision without having to wear corrective lenses, a refractive lens exchange may be worth considering.
The price here is slightly lower at €2,500 or €48/month*.
Reading glasses are still required for this treatment, but you will receive implants of a high quality standard within this cost range.
This cost for lens implantation does not cover astigmatism.

FemtoLaser surcharge

The Surcharge FemtoLaser is a revolutionary medical laser used for eye surgery and other medical procedures.
This new laser technology delivers fast, precise results with minimal tissue damage and recovery time.
The FemtoLaser uses short pulsed, ultrashort light energy to rapidly vaporize tissue, allowing surgeons to perform procedures with greater accuracy and precision.
The FemtoLaser also has the unique ability to selectively treat tissue, allowing treatment of areas that are difficult or impossible to reach with other types of lasers.
In addition, the laser is portable and lightweight, allowing it to be used in remote locations where other medical devices are not available.
With its advanced technology and convenience, the Surcharge FemtoLaser is an invaluable tool for ophthalmologists and surgeons alike.
This option is available for an additional €990 or from €29/month*.
It involves eye surgery using computers and lasers, precise incisions are made and astigmatism correction is included.

Example of a financing plan

Ein Mann während einer Augenuntersuchung in der Eyelaser-Klinik

Treatment example – Femto-LASIK eye laser The financing amount is €3,400 plus debit interest of 5.99% per year.
With a loan term of 60 months, this would be a monthly installment of €65.79, the total amount to be paid would be €3,947.68 with an effective interest rate of 6.21%.
In order for the financing to be approved by our partner bank, a credit rating that meets the standards of the banking industry must be submitted.
Minor deviations may occur.
As you can see: Strong eyes, rich visual acuity – yes, lens implants cost money.
But there is always a solution.
For you too.

Does health insurance cover the costs of laser eye surgery at Eyelaser?

Does health insurance cover the costs of laser eye surgery at Eyelaser?

Laser eye surgery and lens implants are generally not covered by statutory health insurance providers such as GKK or SVA, as they are only obliged to reimburse the costs of medically necessary treatment. Of course, this could be debated at this point, as clear vision should be a basic requirement of human health and therefore the cost of lens implants should be considered medically necessary. However, our core area is eye surgery and not health policy. However, the following options or situations do exist in which the health insurance funds will cover at least part of the costs for lens implantation: – Cataract correction with a monofocal lens is covered by private insurance. – Some people have to be treated for an intolerance to both glasses and contact lenses. Here too, health insurance companies occasionally step in. – A visual impairment of more than 10 dioptres and a proven intolerance to contact lenses (in some cases) can be treated at the expense of the health insurance companies. – If there is a visual defect of more than 3 dioptres in both eyes and contact lenses are not tolerated (in some cases), the insurers are also called upon. During the ophthalmologic examination, we can check these criteria and draw up a clinical report. It is possible that the health insurance company will not cover the entire cost of a procedure. In this case, you can normally deduct the costs as an exceptional expense in your income tax return. First of all, it should be noted that Eyelaser is a private practice and treatments are not covered by health insurance. If you have private health insurance, we recommend that you contact your health insurance company before the procedure to find out about the exact terms and conditions of cost coverage. This means that your private health insurance company may not cover the costs of vision correction.

We have compiled an overview for you here. HEALTH INSURANCE!!!

Health insurance companies do not usually cover the cost of laser eye surgery for Eyelaser, as it is an elective procedure.
However, some health insurance companies may cover certain types of laser eye surgery such as PRK or LASIK.
It is important to check with your health insurance provider before making an appointment for laser eye surgery at Eyelaser to determine what type of coverage they offer and whether or not they will cover the cost of the procedure.
Some health insurance companies also offer discounts on the vision aids offered by Eyelaser, which can reduce the overall cost of the procedure.
Ultimately, it is important that you check with your health insurance provider to determine if and to what extent you are eligible for laser eye surgery at Eyelaser.

Can the costs of laser eye surgery at Eyelaser be deducted from tax?

The costs of laser eye surgery, lens implants, glasses or contact lenses are the same and can be deducted as medical expenses.
The current income tax guidelines state: “In the presence of an illness, visual aids, including laser treatments, are necessary to improve vision and are tax deductible.”
Those who undergo surgery have a visual impairment, which means that the costs associated with the operation are generally regarded as extraordinary expenses without a medical certificate confirming the necessity of the operation.
Laser eye surgery is tax-deductible.
In your annual tax return, enter the cost of eye surgery in the “Medical expenses” column.
Enter the total costs and note that there is a deductible of 6% to 12% of your annual income.
This percentage can be reduced by around 1% depending on your situation (single earner, single parent, etc.).
The tax office determines your deductible and the remaining treatment costs play a role in your tax deductibility.
If a specialized medical service was provided and you can provide a certificate to this effect, you may be entitled to a full deduction.
Further information on extraordinary expenses can be found in § 33 EStG at the Ministry of Finance.
If necessary, clarify the tax deductibility of operating costs with the relevant authorities.
Eyelaser is a renowned provider of laser eye treatments.
As a rule, the costs of the procedure cannot be deducted from income tax.
However, depending on the purpose of the procedure, it may be possible to claim the costs as medical expenses.
For example, if the surgery is necessary to correct a visual impairment that affects your ability to work, you may be able to deduct some or all of the associated costs.
It is important that you consult with your tax advisor and your doctor before making a decision about claiming this type of expense so that you are aware of the implications.
In some cases, insurance will cover some or all of the costs, which can help to reduce co-payments and make eye treatment more affordable for everyone.
