The cost of ReLEx SMILE eye surgery in Ukraine typically ranges from $1,500 to $2,500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s expertise, and the technology used (such as the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser). In the United States, the average cost is $3,500 (per AAO). That means ReLEx SMILE surgery in Ukraine can be about 43% less expensive than in the U.S.
Ukrainian clinics usually include a pre-operative exam, the ReLEx SMILE procedure for both eyes, post-op medications, and at least one follow-up visit. In the U.S., the quoted price often covers only the surgery itself, with separate charges for pre-op tests, medications, and follow-ups. Always confirm exactly what’s included in your package before booking.
