LASIK cost in Thailand
Both eyes from $1,200 at specialised Bangkok eye hospitals — the transparent breakdown of what LASIK actually costs, and what decides the price.
Femtosecond (bladeless) LASIK at the top of the range; PRK below it, ICL implants well above — the candidacy work-up decides which applies to you.
The same femtosecond LASIK is commonly quoted at €2,500–4,000 in Western Europe and more in the US — Thai eye hospitals deliver both eyes for roughly the price of one.
Indicative market range for Thailand — your final quote always comes in writing from the treating clinic, after medical assessment.
What decides the price
Three factors: the technology platform (femtosecond vs microkeratome), your prescription complexity, and the hospital. Quotes at our partner level are all-inclusive for the surgical episode — work-up, both eyes, post-op checks and drops.
Recovery
Most patients see clearly within 24–48 hours and work on screens within days. Dry-eye sensation for some weeks is the most common side effect — temporary and managed with drops.
A typical clinic quote includes
- —Complete candidacy examination
- —The procedure, both eyes
- —Post-operative checks during your stay
- —Medication and drops
- —Written surgical record for your home ophthalmologist
Not included
- ·Flights and hotel (unless in your package)
- ·Enhancement procedures if ever needed (policy stated per clinic)
Your stay, day by day
Common questions
Why is Thai LASIK so much cheaper — is the technology older? +
No: the specialised Bangkok eye hospitals run current-generation femtosecond and excimer platforms. The saving comes from Thai cost structures — and it is precisely why we name the hospital, so you can verify the equipment yourself.
What if the work-up says I am not a candidate? +
Then you do not have surgery — around one in five patients is redirected to PRK, ICL or no surgery at all. You will have paid for an examination, not an operation; we think that is how it should work.
How soon can I fly home? +
LASIK patients are typically cleared at the final check a few days after surgery. Our stay plans include that margin rather than promising a 48-hour turnaround.
