Why this isn't your final quote

We can't give you a 100% exact number until your surgeon sees your case in your medical video consultation. Your final quote may move from this estimate based on additional studies your surgeon may need, your specific anatomy, or projected recovery time. Most patients land within 15% of what you're seeing here — we'd rather tell you that upfront than surprise you later.

Frequently asked questions about this procedure

PKP or DMEK/DSAEK?

Full-thickness (PKP) replaces the whole cornea; partial (DMEK/DSAEK) replaces only the damaged layer with faster recovery. Your surgeon decides.

How long is recovery?

Vision improves over months; you'll need local follow-up before flying and ongoing virtual check-ins.

Do I need a recovery house?

Usually a hotel is fine, but your surgeon may recommend closer monitoring depending on your case.
