So I just got told I don’t qualify for lasik since my prescription is -11 plus a bit of astigmatism. I was planning to do it at Shinagawa; but now that I am getting recommended to go for ICL; I’m wondering about prices. Even with the introductory coupon ; I was told it’s 500000 + .
It seems that Minami Aoyama is cheaper? I know it’s eyes and I am ok paying for what is safe, but I’m wondering if the quote is overpriced. Thanks!

I had the lenses in both eyes replaced with the cost covered by health insurance less the, in my case 10%, contribution. Cost me around JPY16,000. Been wearing glasses for forty years but now don’t need them.
my friend did ICL for about 70man, so I think your quote is normal
Have you considered PRK laser? I heard this can be used in cases where lasik cannot.
i also had high prescription and astigmatism, i paid about 60万 at SBC. bonus, they have a point program so i earned enough for free botox
it’s not covered by health insurance, but i was able to claim the expense on taxes and got a little bit of money back
