How Much Does a Laser Eye Treatment Cost?

If you’re thinking about laser eye surgery, one of the biggest questions is: what will it cost and how does that compare between Austria and Bratislava? In this post, we’ll walk you through the price factors, real examples, and why many Austrians are considering Bratislava.

What affects the cost

The cost of laser eye surgery depends on a few factors:

• The technology used (older vs. newer lasers)
• The type of procedure (e.g. PRK, LASIK, or SILK)
• Surgeon experience and reputation
• What’s included in the fee (consultation, follow-up, medications, enhancements)
• Location and overheads

Prices are usually quoted per eye.

Typical prices in Austria
While prices vary depending on the clinic, here’s a general overview of what you can expect in Austria:

• PRK: between €1,800 and €2,500 per eye
• iLASIK/FemtoLASIK: between €2,000 and €3,200 per eye
• SILK (newest generation): between €2,800 and €3,800 per eye

Some Austrian clinics include follow-up care. Others charge separately. You’ll often pay more in major cities, especially Vienna.
