The total cost of cataract treatment in the Republic of Korea varies based on the chosen procedure. Aqua ICL surgery, which involves lens implantation, costs approximately $5,000. Secondary ptosis correction with skin excision, which may be necessary for patients with weakened eyelid muscles, is priced at $6,000 to $7,000. The treatment package generally includes preoperative laboratory tests, anesthesia, postoperative care, and interpreter services, though prescribed medications and caregiver fees are additional expenses.
