The cost of LASEK eye surgery in South Korea typically ranges from $800 to $1,500. Prices vary based on the clinic, surgeon’s experience, and whether you need treatment in one or both eyes. The type of laser technology and aftercare services also play a role. In the United States, the average cost is $2,800 (per AAO). LASEK in Korea is about 61% less than in the U.S.
Most Korean clinics include the initial consultation, pre-op eye exam, post-op medication, follow-up visits, personalized care, and 24/7 support. English-speaking staff and protective eye shields are standard. In the U.S., prices often cover only the surgery itself, with exams, medications, and follow-ups billed separately. Always confirm what’s included at your chosen clinic.
