Is the cost of myopia surgery expensive in Guangzhou?
Myopia has become a common problem. More and more people choose to undergo myopic surgery to get rid of the trouble of wearing glasses or contact lenses. As one of the first tier cities in China, the cost of myopia surgery in Guangzhou has attracted much attention. So, is the cost of myopia surgery in Guangzhou expensive? The following is detailed from several aspects.
Hospital grade and reputation
There are many well-known ophthalmic hospitals in Guangzhou, such as Zhongshan Eye Center, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, etc. These hospitals have world-class equipment and professional medical teams, so their surgery costs are relatively high. Take Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center as an example, the cost of myopia surgery is about 8000 yuan to 15000 yuan, including preoperative examination, surgery costs, postoperative reexamination, etc. Of course, it is worth mentioning that the operation quality and service quality of these hospitals are also quite high. In addition, some ordinary eye clinics will be cheaper, about 5000 yuan to 8000 yuan.
In addition, there are many reputable ophthalmic hospitals in Guangzhou, such as the Ophthalmology Department of Guangzhou Panyu Central People's Hospital and the Ophthalmology Department of Guangzhou Baiyun District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The operation cost of these hospitals is relatively low, about 3000 yuan to 5000 yuan. However, it should be noted that hospitals with low operating costs may have some limitations in equipment and technology, and patients should make reasonable choices according to their own needs and budgets.
Differences in surgical methods and costs
Different surgical methods will also lead to differences in the cost of myopia surgery in Guangzhou. At present, Guangzhou mainly has laser myopia surgery (such as LASIK, Femto LASIK), lens implantation surgery, corneal plastic surgery and other surgical methods. Among them, laser myopic surgery is the most common and popular method. The cost of this operation is relatively high because it requires the use of expensive laser equipment. At the same time, the technology and experience of doctors also have a certain impact on the cost.
Lens implantation is a method to correct myopia by replacing the lens in the eye. Compared with laser surgery, the cost is slightly higher. Corneal plastic lens surgery is a method of correcting myopia by adjusting the cornea with a plastic lens, and its cost is relatively economical. Therefore, when choosing the surgical method, patients need to consider the surgical effect, cost and personal factors to make decisions.
Insurance and medical subsidies
As a national first tier city, Guangzhou has relatively complete medical insurance and medical subsidy policies. According to different personal circumstances, you can enjoy certain medical expenses reimbursement or subsidies. Children, teenagers and special occupational groups may get more medical insurance or subsidy policies. Therefore, patients can consult the hospital or the local social security institution before paying for surgery to understand their own rights and interests and enjoy the policy, so as to get more cost relief.
summary
To sum up, the cost of myopia surgery in Guangzhou varies from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan between different hospitals and surgical methods. Patients need to comprehensively consider their own needs, budget, hospital reputation and other factors when selecting surgery hospitals and surgical methods. In addition, attention should be paid to the medical insurance and medical subsidy policies to make full use of various preferences and exemptions. Before deciding to accept the operation, the patient should also fully communicate with the doctor, understand the cost composition, risks, postoperative care and other key points of the operation, and make a wise decision.
