Eye Laser Surgery in France: Top Quality at a Fairer Price
Do you live in Belgium and are you considering a refractive eye surgery (such as LASIK, PRK, or SMILE)? Good news: in France, these treatments are often significantly more affordable, without compromising on safety or technology.
Examples of Prices in France
| Treatment | Toelichting | Tarief |
|---|---|---|
| PRK (with Amaris 1050 RS) | Classic surface laser treatment | €1,800 – €2,000 (both eyes) |
| Trans-PRK (with Amaris 1050 RS) | Advanced surface laser treatment | €2,200 – €2,400 (both eyes) |
| FEMTO-LASIK | With a corneal flap (ZIEMER Crystal Line femtosecond laser) and excimer laser correction (SCHWIND AMARIS 1050 RS), from classic to PresbyMAX. | €2,800 – €3,500 (both eyes) |
Up to 50% cheaper than in Belgium
In Belgium, laser treatments usually cost €1,800 – €2,500 per eye.
In France, prices are generally significantly lower:
- €1,000 – €1,400 per eye in most specialized centers
- From €750 per eye in certain reputable clinics (for PRK), such as the Clinique Victor Hugo
- Rarely more than €1,500 per eye, even with the most experienced surgeons
Why are prices lower in France?
- Larger patient volume: French centers treat more patients, which helps reduce costs (equipment, staff, logistics).
- No compromises on quality: the technology used is among the most advanced in Europe (femtosecond and excimer lasers, advanced aberrometry).
- Highly qualified doctors: trained in the latest techniques and fully certified.
- Transparent and fair pricing: without artificial price inflation.
Reimbursement by your Belgian health insurance
Good news: if you are treated by a certified doctor (in Belgium or a neighboring country such as France), you remain entitled to partial reimbursement through your Belgian health insurance.
Some examples (indicative):
| Mutualiteit | Terugbetaling per oog |
|---|---|
| Solidaris Vlaanderen | €150 (flat rate per eye) |
