The cost of laser eye surgery in 2025
Are you ready to discover life free from glasses and contact lenses? Laser vision correction may seem expensive as an initial cost. However, it quickly pays off when you consider lifetime costs of annual eye checks, glasses, lens fitting, contact lenses and the inconvenience. In New Zealand the advertised price for laser eye surgery is comparable, with most practices offering the latest technology and similar finance plans. Most clinics offer a flat rate regardless of the type of laser refractive surgery.
Prices vary slightly between cities and between clinics within cities.
$3425 - $3450 - $3480 per eye in Wellington
$3200 - $3425 - $3599 per eye in Auckland

Book a free laser eye surgery assessment
The first step to discover if you can be free from glasses and contact lenses is to book a free laser eye surgery suitability assessment.

LASIK - original laser technique for most refractive errors including astigmatism.
SMILE® Pro - second generation SMall Incision Lenticular Extraction for higher myopic refractive error and astigmatism.
PRK - surface laser - suitable for patients with a thin cornea. (Also known as ASA, LASEK, and Epi-LASIK)
