How Much Does Corneal ring implantation Cost in Spain?

Corneal ring implantation in Spain typically costs from $2,500 to $4,000. Prices depend on the specific ring type, laser technology used, and the clinic's location. In the US, similar procedures cost around $5,500 on average. Patients save around 40% compared to the US. Most Spanish clinics include preoperative evaluations, the surgical procedure, and follow-up visits in their pricing.

  • Technique and materials: Prices vary based on using Keraring or Ferrara rings and femtosecond laser precision.
  • Clinical setting: Costs in major medical hubs like Barcelona and Madrid often reflect advanced infrastructure.
  • Surgeon expertise: Fees may increase for specialists with extensive international training and research contributions.
  • Consultation fees: Initial evaluations by top specialists in Spain typically range from $400 to $450.

Their ophthalmology department is led by specialists like Dr. Ferran Mascaró Zamora, a renowned oculoplastics expert.

Otherwise, everything was perfect, especially the staff
Attentive and caring staff, friendly and welcoming, very clean clinic. There was a significant difference between the base price, which was between €5,000 and €8,000, and the only additional examination, which was €150. To our surprise, we were asked to pay €9,750, which is a difference of €1,650. I wanted to have cataract surgery on my left eye and was given a quote of €5,610, which I found excessive given that I had already paid €9,750. Otherwise, everything was perfect, especially the staff.
The kindness of all the medical staff
1-We couldn't find a cushion after a vitrectomy, even after searching all over Barcelona, so I suffered without a cushion for my neck. 2-Leaving without the medical report, promising to send it to us by email, which we still haven't received after 11 days.
About Bookimed service

"We have hope for a recovery, thanks to the highest-level specialist Dr
We were examined in one of the clinics of this network - the Dexeus hospital. I am very grateful to the medical coordinators of Bookimed for their help in organizing the consultation there. We have a very complex ophthalmological problem that we have been trying to solve for many years. We traveled to different countries, consulted with very experienced doctors in the largest university clinics in Germany. But unfortunately, none of them had encountered similar situations before and could not prescribe us an effective treatment to solve the problem. And when we arrived at the Dexeus hospital, we were able to get a very highly qualified consultation, conduct serious examinations, and now we have hope for a recovery, thanks to the highest-level specialist Dr. Verges, who turned out to be the first doctor who successfully treated previously such complex types of eye allergies as my son had. The clinic of this network pleasantly surprised us with the most modern approach to examinations, a high level of specialists and cutting-edge equipment. Absolutely not inferior to well-known German clinics. We will now recommend her to our friends and family.
About Bookimed service
