Category: Patient Information

Practical guides for patients: what laser eye surgery and lens surgery cost in Australia, how payment plans and finance work, what Bupa and Medibank pay towards laser eye surgery, what to weigh up before travelling overseas for surgery, returning to sport and driving after surgery, and the myths that put people off. These posts exist to help you make informed decisions before you set foot in the clinic, and they are reviewed by Focus Vision's surgeons. Health fund rules and prices change, so each post shows when it was last reviewed.

A good starting point is our side-by-side comparison of vision correction options. Paying for laser eye surgery brings costs, payment plans and health cover together in one place, and the costs page lists current all-inclusive prices. When you are ready to talk about your own eyes, book a free optometrist assessment.
