Is the half femtosecond operation in Zhongshan Ophthalmology expensive?
Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department is a well-known ophthalmic hospital, which provides a full range of eye disease treatment services. Half femtosecond surgery is a common method to treat myopia, but people often worry about whether it is expensive. This article will elaborate on the cost of half femtosecond surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department from the aspects of operation cost, medical insurance reimbursement, operation effect and other costs.
1. Operation expenses
The cost of half femtosecond surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department is relatively high, which mainly depends on the degree of myopia of patients and the method of surgery. Generally speaking, the higher the degree of myopia, the higher the cost of surgery. In addition, the operation mode will also have an impact on the cost. Different operation modes may have different cost standards.
For example, the half femtosecond operation cost of Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department for low myopia patients is about 80000-12000 yuan, while the cost for high myopia patients may be more than 15000-20000 yuan. It should be noted that this is only a rough price range, and the specific cost should be evaluated according to the patient's situation.
In addition, the cost of surgery also includes the cost of follow-up after surgery. Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department usually provides one year of post-operative reexamination service, which is usually included in the surgery cost.
2. Medical insurance reimbursement
At present, there are some restrictions on medical insurance reimbursement for half femtosecond surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department. According to the regulations, the medical insurance only provides reimbursement for patients with moderate and high myopia (above 500 degrees). For patients with low myopia (below 500 degrees), the medical insurance cannot reimburse the operation cost.
It should be noted that the proportion of medical insurance reimbursement is not 100%, and the specific reimbursement proportion needs to be determined according to the patient's medical insurance type. For example, medical insurance in some regions can only reimburse part of the operation expenses, rather than all the expenses.
For patients who cannot be reimbursed through medical insurance, Zhongshan Ophthalmology also provides installment payment, which makes it easier to bear the cost of surgery.
3. Operation effect
Half femtosecond surgery is one of the most advanced treatment methods for myopia at present, which has a better surgical effect. After surgical treatment, the vision of most patients can be significantly improved, and the degree of myopia will also be reduced accordingly. The recovery time of vision after surgery is relatively short, usually between a few days and two weeks after surgery.
However, whether the surgical effect achieves the expectation is also related to individual differences. Some patients may still feel blurred vision or have other uncomfortable symptoms after surgery. Therefore, before deciding to perform half femtosecond surgery, patients need to communicate with ophthalmologists in detail to understand the risks and effects of surgery.
4. Other expenses
In addition to the cost of surgery, patients may have to pay some other fees. For example, preoperative examination costs, intraoperative lens costs, postoperative care costs, etc. Although these costs are not necessary for surgery, patients also need to know something about them.
In addition, the cost of postoperative eye drops and eye care supplies also needs to be borne by the patient. Although these costs are not high, they may need to be used for a long time, so they are also a big expense for patients.
Summary
To sum up, the cost of half femtosecond surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department is relatively high, but it can be paid through medical insurance reimbursement, installment payment, etc. The operation effect is good, but there are still individual differences. In addition, patients also need to bear some preoperative examination costs and postoperative care costs. Therefore, when deciding whether to perform half femtosecond surgery, patients need to consider the cost and surgical effect comprehensively, and fully communicate and understand with doctors.
