How to explain the costs of our procedures?

You want to regain natural vision and no longer wear glasses or contact lenses. You have certainly started to research online about the different options available to you. At first glance, it is difficult to understand what these seemingly high prices correspond to, especially since they can vary from simple to triple depending on the different providers.

First of all, please note that refractive surgery is not reimbursed by Social Security as it is considered “comfort surgery”, just like cosmetic surgery. Only a few conditions that cannot be corrected by wearing glasses or contact lenses are eligible for reimbursement. However, some mutual insurance companies and supplementary health plans offer partial coverage for these surgical costs in their packages. Feel free to contact them to find out what to expect after requesting a quote from us. The prices of surgeries vary based on many parameters :

• The visual defect to be corrected 

• The technique used for the treatment 

• The experience and reputation of the surgeon 

• The quality, diversity, and recency of the available equipment 

• The skills of the team, from reception to post-operative care 

• The premises (accessibility standards, hygiene, comfort, location...) 

• The quality of pre-operative and post-operative assessments 

• A center belonging to a "low-cost" chain vs. an independent center owned by surgeons (i.e., standardized treatment for "simple" cases vs. customized treatment) 

Take the time to compare comparable providers and don’t hesitate to visit several centers before making your decision. 

A few examples of the prices of equipment used daily at Bellecour Vision Clinic: diagnostic equipment (approximately 800,000 euros), laser used for the first step of the procedure/femtosecond laser (approximately 700,000 euros), excimer laser that reshapes your eye (approximately 500,000 euros)... 

The prices we practice in our clinic are explained by the fact that we have chosen to work only with the best in ophthalmology.
