FAQ
How much does LASIK cost in Malaysia?
Published and reported prices run from about RM 3,000 to RM 6,000 per eye for standard LASIK, with custom or advanced packages higher. Many clinics quote both eyes together, so compare on the same basis and check follow-up visits are included.
How much does cataract surgery cost in Malaysia?
Private cataract surgery starts around RM 3,200 per eye at some clinics and goes above RM 13,000 for laser-assisted surgery or premium lenses. Monofocal lenses cost the least. Confirm whether the quote is per eye and includes the lens and follow-up.
Is LASIK safe and who is not suitable?
LASIK is a widely performed procedure but carries risks such as dry eye, glare and under- or over-correction. Thin corneas, unstable prescription, and some eye diseases can make people unsuitable. Only a full assessment by an ophthalmologist can say.
Does insurance cover cataract surgery or LASIK?
Cataract surgery is often claimable under hospital plans when medically needed, subject to limits and lens upgrades being excluded. LASIK is usually treated as elective and not covered. Check your policy wording before booking.
