How to explain the costs of our procedures?
The average price of a coffee and croissant in Lyon is 5 euros. This means that a surgery would cost about the same price as a coffee break on the way to work every day, for a year (4.7 euros/day).
Diagnostic equipment costs approximately 800,000 euros.
The laser used for the first stage of the procedure (femtosecond laser) costs approximately 200,000 euros to 700,000 euros for one that also does SMILE (the one we have), with a cost per procedure for the surgeon of 350 to 450 euros per eye.
The typical price range for an excimer laser (which reshapes your eye) is between 150,000 euros for the least expensive to 500,000 euros for the most advanced (like the one we use).
Take into account the value of training an ophthalmologist surgeon, usually 18 years of study, mostly in the third cycle. Then there are the facilities, insurance, and other expenses related to running an internationally-class clinic.
