Lasik Eye Costs 2024: Information, Comparisons and Costs
How much does LASIK eye cost in 2024?
The cost of eye LASIK surgery in Indonesia ranges from IDR 10.000.000 to IDR 25.000.000/ eye. Some of these costs include consulting services for doctors and medicines, some do not.
LASIK surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to change the shape of the cornea of the eye to improve vision.
Currently, the newest methods most often used are ReLEx Smile and FemtoLASIK which provide more comfort to patients, such as a high degree of precision, shorter operating time, and faster postoperative recovery time.
On the other hand, there is also an old method for correcting myopic eyes, namely Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) which also uses a laser in the process. However, postoperative PRK recovery takes longer than LASIK, recovery time from 1 to 3 months, compared to the LASIK procedure which is only less than a month.
LASIK surgery is an operation performed with the aim of correcting refractive errors in the eye to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses for a higher quality of life.

By using the Femtosecond laser, it can replace the function of a scalpel to cut the flap as in the Lasik microkeratome method. So that it can make patients feel more comfortable by seeing that no knife is used in their eyes. In addition, the advantage is that the thickness of the corneal flap is also more predictable, reducing the risk of corneal injury during surgery and a lower risk. In some cases, a femtosecond laser also makes it possible to create a thinner corneal flap to safely correct higher numbers of nearsightedness.
The FemtoLASIK procedure takes a total of 10-15 minutes using the MEL-80 machine.
1. In the first step, the Femtosecond Laser creates a flap / opening in the cornea area.
2. In the second step, the flap is opened and a laser process using an excimer laser is carried out on the surface of the cornea that has been opened.
3.And when finished, the flap will be returned to its original position.
The side effects of the FemtoLASIK Method will vary from person to person and in general, include dry eyes, feeling of lumps, and glare after surgery. However, this is temporary and will disappear over time.
The cost of eye lasik in 2024 using the FemtoLASIK method at Ciputra SMG Eye Clinic is IDR 14,000,000 / eye.

Compared to FemtoLASIK, the ReLEx® SMILE method is the newest LASIK surgery method which does not require opening / flapping the cornea.
The ReLEx® SMILE method only takes a total of 10 minutes with a laser process for only 24 seconds / eye. The incision in the cornea is only 2-4 mm in size, to keep the corneal structure stable. Not only that, the risks, and symptoms of dry eye after surgery are small with the application of this method.
There are three stages to the ReLEx® SMILE procedure:
1. Lenticule making. Visumax’s Femtosecond Laser will make lenticeles, which are a thin layer of corneal tissue and a 2-4mm incision on the side of the cornea.
2. Take out the lenticule. The lenticule will be removed through an incision / small cut that has been made on the side of the cornea
3. Refraction negligence correction. By removing the lenticule, it changes the shape of the cornea and the path of light entering the eye so that it can restore visual vision.
Side effects after surgery for each person will also vary, but in general, patients feel foggy eyes, glare in the first 4-6 hours. Please note, this is perfectly normal and will over time

LASIK itself stands for Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, is a corrective surgery in which a thin layer of the cornea is opened to allow laser light to change the shape of the cornea to eliminate refractive abnormalities (myopia and astigmatism). The LASIK method evolved from the 1960s to the present.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6377″ img_size=”large” style=”vc_box_shadow_border”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column el_class=”mobile-image”][vc_single_image image=”6381″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border” el_class=”hideon-Desktop”][vc_custom_heading text=”7 Dimension Z-LASIK (7D Z-Lasik): Comparison of the LASIK Method” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:36px|text_align:left|color:%230e7759″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator align=”align_left”][vc_column_text]7D Z-LASIK merupakan salah satu metode LASIK yang menggunakan sistem Latency-Free Tracking sehingga mampu melacak 7 dimensi pergeseran bola mata saat proses operasi dilakukan. Metode ini menggunakan inovasi sistem excimer laser berkecepatan tinggi dengan 1050Hz dan dirangkaikan dengan mesin Ziemer Crystaline 5000 Khz atau yang biasa disebut dengan Femtosecond laser. Metode ini dibuat dengan tujuan untuk mengikuti pergerakan bola mata normal. Oleh karena itu, sistem pelacak Latency-Free Tracking berkemampuan untuk menembakkan excimer laser tanpa ada jeda waktu.
Selain itu 7D Z-LASIK dilakukan sebagai prosedur bebas pisau dengan menggunakan pengukuran komputer dan laser berteknologi tinggi untuk mengoreksi penglihatan yang terjadi pada mata seperti myopia dan astigmat.
Prosedur Z-LASIK
1. Laser femtosecond digunakan untuk membuat lipatan (flap) yang sangat tipis sekitar 10mm melalui jutaan bintik laser kecil yang ditembakkan ke permukaan kornea. Dengan menggunakan teknologi laser, keseluruhan prosedur tidak menggunakan pisau bedah. Ketika lapisan flap pada kornea telah selesai, flap dibuka secara halus, dan mata siap untuk dilakukan langkah kedua.
2. Selanjutnya, koreksi myopia dan astigmat dilakukan dengan menggunakan excimer laser selama beberapa detik. Setelah itu, flap ditutup kembali dan akan melekat dengan sendirinya.
Kelebihan Z-LASIK
- Prosedur yang tidak terlalu invasif
- Dapat menghilangkan ketergantungan pada kacamata atau softlens
- Keseluruhan proses hanya membutuhkan waktu selama beberapa menit
By using only one machine: VisuMax will make operating times faster and patients feel more comfortable.
ReLEx SMILE Procedure
1. Visumax Femtosecond Laser makes thin corneal tissue shaped like a lens (lenticule) at the base of the inner layer of the cornea and then formed a 2- 4mm corneal incision.
2. Furthermore, the lenticule is removed through the corneal incision, so that the structure of the cornea is maintained and stable due to the absence of flap making. The small incision in the cornea will heal naturally. Intake of the lenticule changes the way light enters the eye, so that the eye can see clearly without the aid of glasses or contact lenses.
Benefits of ReLEx SMILE
- There are no complications related to flaps; such as a flap shifted or wrinkled due to the absence of flap making in this operation process.
- Do not use a scalpel at all and only use Visumax Femtosecond Laser so that the healing process and phase take place faster.
- The procedure is minimally invasive because this method only has a 4mm incision.
- It only takes a few minutes in the operation process.
- Due to the absence of openings (flaps), the patient feels more comfortable and does not experience pain.
- Complaints of dry eyes after surgery are greatly reduced because there is no action on the structure of the upper cornea.
- ReLEx® SMILE reduce optical abrasion that occurs because there is no flap.
- Can eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Compared to ReLEx SMILE , this method is a technology The latest LASIK which is only 4mm incision in process (smaller than other LASIK methods) using a laser (not using a scalpel), and using only one tool, the sophisticated Visumax Femtosecond Laser, thus making the operation process a faster. In addition, in the absence of flap opening, the patient will feel more comfortable and maintain the corneal structure of the eye.

Myopia: Symptoms, Prevention and Treatments
What are the symptoms of myopia?
The most obvious symptom is difficulty seeing objects or objects at a great distance, but you can also feel the following:
- Headache
- Feeling tired in the eyes when you see an object that is a few metres in front of you
- Feeling tense in the eyes
- Eyes tired when driving, exercising
When experiencing the symptoms above, you are advised to check your eye condition to the nearest eye clinic so that further treatment can be done.
Prevent myopia
There are several steps you can take to prevent myopia such as:
- Eating vegetables and fruits that contain vitamin A such as; broccoli, carrots, kale, spinach, papaya, melon, star fruit.
- Do regular eye checks
- Read somewhere that is well-lit
- Maintain close viewing activities for a long time without rest
Minimize myopia
These visual difficulties can be treated with some visual aid or by performing refractive surgery.
- Glasses: The way that can be easily done is to use glasses that suit the minus conditions in the eye. You can choose eyeglass frames to your liking. However, the use of glasses when doing sports activities and other high-intensity activities will greatly interfere with its users.
- Softlens: Softlens can be used as an alternative to dealing with minus eyes. The soft form and attached to the eye will really help you do activities with high intensity; sports, diving, driving and others. However, you should give eye drops every few hours to keep the eyes from drying out and have to take them off before going to sleep. Cleaning must also be done with clean hands and using special fluids. So it requires more extra care.
- Refractive Surgery: Refractive surgery can be performed as an option for treating nearsighted eyes. Along with the development of technology, the condition of the eye minus or myopia can be overcome with the help of laser beams. There are several Lasik methods that have been run-up to the most recent methods, namely ReLEx SMILE (Refractive Lenticule Extraction, Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) which does not require the creation of a flap on the cornea that was normally done in the previous LASIK procedure.
The process that takes no more than 10 minutes will make your vision clear again and improve in a relatively short time. Thus, many people who prefer to undergo refractive surgery using glasses or contact lenses.
How to treat myopia?
It is strongly recommended to check routine eye conditions at least once a year to an ophthalmologist. This is done to monitor if there is a change in the minus size suffered.
Another thing that also needs to be considered for those of you who have been doing Lasik surgery is to rest your eyes regularly after a long period of close activity.

Dry Eyes After LASIK Surgery?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Dry Eyes After LASIK? Is This Normal?
Things that trigger dry eyes after LASIK surgery
The things that can trigger dry eyes after LASIK if you have diabetes, have nearsightedness or have a vision that requires a high level of correction. In most patients who have had LASIK surgery, symptoms of dry eye are most visible in the early months after surgery. Most said that conditions gradually get better in a period of six to twelve months.
Screening of eye conditions for LASIK patients
The quality and quantity of tears produced are factors that affect the dryness of the eyes and can affect the healing process after surgery. Therefore, before doing LASIK , the patient will undergo a series of screenings to determine the quality and quantity of tears. The checks carried out are:
– Schirmer Test: thin pieces of paper placed under the lower eyelid to measure tear production.
– Tear Breakup Time: placing a small amount of dye on the surface of the eye to monitor how tears are distributed and when they “break up” on the surface of the eye.
What causes it?
The eyes will feel dry after LASIK surgery due to the cutting of the corneal nerve which functions as a stimulus for tear production. This is very reasonable and temporary for all patients who have performed LASIK surgery. To overcome this, eye drops are given to lubricate the eyes.

Advantages of ReLEx® SMILE
Eye specialist Ciputra SMG Eye Clinic, dr. Utami Noor Sya’baniyah SpM explained that the procedure from ReLEx® SMILE uses only one Femtosecond laser machine with the most modern technology today to correct the shape of the eye cornea with very small incisions so that the recovery time needed after the action becomes faster and minimal side effects such as pain, glare also dry eyes. “In contrast to Lasik which makes incisions in the cornea up to 20 mm, ReLEx® SMILE only makes small incisions 2-4 mm on the surface of the cornea. The time needed for this process is also faster, only about 10 minutes, “said Dr. Utami
Requirements of ReLEx® SMILE Candidates
Not everyone with myopia and astigmatism can undergo the ReLEx® SMILE. Dr. Utami explained that there are several requirements to carry out this vision correction procedure, such as having to be 18 years old or older, not having significant changes in prescription glasses during the past year, myopia up to -10 or astigmatism up to -5. “Then, not being pregnant, not has a significant eye medical history, no family history of eye disease and extreme sports lovers, “he continued.
ReLEx® SMILE Cost
Speaking of the costs involved, Ciputra Healthcare’s director, Veimeirawaty Kusnadi said, for the Ciputra SMG Eye Clinic promo period, the ReLEx® SMILE rate was Rp. 30 million for a pair of eyes. However, later to undergo LASIK with the most recent technology, patients must pay in the range of Rp. 35 million to Rp. 40 million for a pair of eyes.
