Eye surgery (cataract, LASIK) in China
This is not a diagnosis. It only helps you find relevant information.
What China offers
Cataract, refractive and retinal surgery are widely available at public eye hospitals and private chains. National procurement in November 2023 cut intraocular lens prices by about 60% on average; a common monofocal lens fell from about 2,500 to 800 yuan. Foreigners typically self-pay.
90 clinical trials are recruiting at sites in China (ClinicalTrials.gov, 2026-10-26). See the trials
