How much does laser eye treatment cost?
With the prospect of a significant improvement in your quality of sight, the incurred costs are more bearable. After treatment, you also save on expenses for glasses, lenses and contact lenses.

When will a health insurance provider assume the costs for laser eye treatment?
A health insurance provider will only assume the costs for laser eye treatment in the following exceptional circumstances:
- Cataract surgery
- Intolerance of glasses and contact lenses
- Treatment of severe visual impairment (over 10 dioptres) with proven contact lens intolerance
- Severe variation in the visual acuity of your eyes (more than 3 dioptres) with proven contact lens intolerance
The exceptions noted above can be ascertained and recorded in writing during the preliminary examination. However, it is worth seeking a discussion with your health insurance provider nonetheless. Should you be required to bear the costs of the intervention, this can be noted in your tax return.
