LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) reshapes the cornea using an excimer laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Key pricing factors include the technology used — standard microkeratome LASIK is most affordable, while wavefront-guided or custom LASIK costs more for enhanced precision. Equipment brand (VISX, WaveLight, or Zeiss MEL) and surgeon experience at high-volume centers also affect price. Most clinics price per eye, so bilateral treatment doubles the cost. In China, LASIK is performed at dedicated eye hospitals (like Aier Eye Hospital Group) with the latest equipment at 50–70% less than US pricing, with surgeons who perform thousands of procedures annually.
