Ophthalmic optometry fees: How much does Guangzhou optometry cost?
Ophthalmic optometry is a common medical examination used to assess and diagnose vision problems and refractive status of the eyes. In Guangzhou, optometry fees will vary according to different hospitals, different projects and services. This article will introduce the optometry fees in Guangzhou from four aspects.
1. Selection of optometry items
The choice of optometry items is one of the main factors affecting optometry costs. Generally speaking, the basic optometry items include vision examination, diopter examination and fundus examination. If additional items are required, such as corneal topography examination, intraocular pressure measurement, visual field examination, etc., the cost will be increased accordingly. Taking the ophthalmology department of Guangzhou First People's Hospital as an example, the basic optometry fee is about 200 yuan. If additional items are needed, the fee will fluctuate accordingly.
In addition, some hospitals also provide more advanced and comprehensive professional optometry projects, such as children's optometry, elderly optometry, myopia prevention and control, etc. The cost of these special projects will be relatively high, generally between 300-500 yuan. The specific cost will vary depending on the level and environment of the hospital.
2. Selection of hospitals
The optometry cost will also be affected by the selected hospital. Guangzhou has a large number of ophthalmic hospitals and opticians, including national hospitals, private hospitals and optician chains. Large national hospitals, such as the First People's Hospital of Guangzhou, Guangdong Provincial Eye Hospital, and the Eye Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat sen University, generally charge relatively high fees, but have more advanced and comprehensive conditions in terms of equipment and technology.
Some private medical institutions or glasses chain stores are relatively friendly in price, and may also have promotional activities and discounts. Some chain glasses stores, such as New Vision and Magic Mirror Glasses, provide package services, including optometry fees and glasses purchase fees, which are relatively cheap.
3. Selection of services
Optometry services also have an impact on fees. The service level and quality provided by different hospitals and stores are different, so the cost will also vary. Some high-end hospitals and opticians may provide more professional inspection equipment and more considerate services, and the charges will be increased accordingly.
In addition, some hospitals also provide membership systems and appointment registration services. If such special services are available, they may need to pay a certain fee.
4. Additional expenses
In the optometry process, there may be some additional costs. For example, the optometrist may give advice on glasses matching. If glasses need to be purchased, the cost will be charged separately. In addition, if further treatment and surgery are needed, such as laser myopia surgery, corneal plastic lens, etc., the cost will be higher.
To sum up, the optometry fees in Guangzhou vary with the choice of optometry projects, hospitals, services and additional fees. Generally speaking, basic ophthalmic optometry costs about 200-300 yuan, while special projects and advanced services cost between 300-500 yuan. In order to obtain more accurate and detailed cost information, it is recommended to consult and make an appointment with the hospital or optician before optometry.

Generally speaking, basic ophthalmic optometry costs about 200-300 yuan, while special projects and advanced services cost 300-500 yuan.
