How much does a corneal transplant cost in Korea, including surgery, consultations, and post-op care?
Hi Johnbaker,
A relative of mine recently had a corneal transplant at SNU Eye Clinic, and the overall cost was much more affordable than what we had expected. The procedure typically costs between $2,000 to $5,000 USD, depending on the type of transplant needed and any additional services like pre-surgery testing and post-surgery care. What impressed us was the quality of care—Dr. Chung Eui Sang and his team provided exceptional service, and the recovery process was smooth. We also found that CloudHospital helped us easily navigate the process, from booking consultations to understanding the costs. Overall, it was a cost-effective option for high-quality care.
A corneal transplant in South Korea usually costs between about 11 million to 14 million KRW (around 8,500 to 11,000 USD). This price typically covers the surgery itself, the donor cornea, and follow-up care. Sometimes, extra costs might come up for special tests before surgery or longer hospital stays.
At SNU Eye Clinic, Dr. Chung Eui Sang provides expert care using advanced technology to ensure the best results. The clinic offers clear pricing and personalized support, especially for international patients.
