The pre-op assessment takes half a day and determines your suitability. Surgery itself takes 15–30 minutes per eye. Most patients see clearly within 24 hours.
Why Choose China?
China's high myopia prevalence has driven massive investment in refractive surgery technology and expertise. Costs are 40–60% lower than in the UK or Australia.
Availability in China
China has one of the world's highest rates of myopia, making laser vision correction one of the most performed elective surgeries in the country. Chengdu has several dedicated refractive surgery centres with the latest equipment (ZEISS, Alcon).
