How Much Does Femtosecond laser Cost in Republic of Korea in AUD?

Femtosecond laser treatment in the Republic of Korea typically costs from AUD $2,301 to AUD $3,596. The final price depends on the chosen technology, the surgeon's expertise, and the clinic's location. Patients save around 52% by travelling to the Republic of Korea from Australia, where this procedure costs AUD $6,041 on average. Standard inclusions often cover pre-operative eye examinations, the surgical procedure, and initial follow-up consultations.

  • SMILE Pro: usually carries a premium of 15–20% over standard SMILE technology in Seoul.
  • Femto-LASIK: typically serves as a mid-range option compared to newer lenticule extraction methods.
  • Laser-assisted cataract surgery: adds a specific fee for the femtosecond laser component per eye.
  • Clinic location: packages in premium Seoul districts like Gangnam often cost 15–20% more than Busan.

Bookimed Expert Insight: The Republic of Korea offers exceptional value through high-volume centres and specialised surgeons. Specialists such as Dr. Cheon Hyeon-cheol and Dr. Lee Kwan Hoon have performed over 30,000 procedures each. Large facilities like BGN Eye Hospital have completed more than 346,000 vision corrections. This massive scale allows clinics to maintain competitive pricing while using the latest Zeiss VisuMax 800 technology.

I can genuinely say my eyes look perfectly matched
My main worry before the lateral canthoplasty was asymmetry, knowing how delicate the procedure is, but I can genuinely say my eyes look perfectly matched. It's such a relief. The surgeon and the entire staff provided wonderful care from start to finish. While I'm still in the early stages of healing, the shape is already very close to my goal. The recovery has been manageable. The biggest challenge has been sleeping upright, but that's a small thing compared to the results. I'm so glad I chose this clinic for my procedure and feel very looked after.

Rude staff. And the trip turned out to be in vain. So much time, effort and money was spent. Documents were preliminarily sent, and extracts available at that time, treatment passed, etc. They invited me to the examination and obtain a preliminary treatment plan, although it was clear to the provided procurers that treatment was impossible. They did the same thing that they had sent earlier, shrugged their hands and said Excuse me, we can’t help ...
