The cost of keratoplasty (corneal transplant) in Germany typically ranges from $6,000 to $9,000. Prices vary depending on the type of procedure (full-thickness vs. partial transplant), the surgeon’s experience, and the clinic’s reputation. In the United States, the average price is $22,500 (per AAO). This means keratoplasty in Germany can be about 67% less than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include pre-op exams, donor cornea costs, the surgical procedure, anesthesia, hospital stay, and initial follow-up care. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with donor tissue, facility, anesthesia, and follow-up billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
