What it is
In cataract surgery the cloudy natural lens is replaced with an artificial one. A standard single-focus lens is covered by National Health Insurance, but “premium” lenses — multifocal, extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) and some toric lenses that also correct astigmatism — are paid for by the patient. HIRA lists each premium lens model and what hospitals charge for it.
What the price includes
These are prices for the lens itself, one lens (one eye). The surgery fee is separate — for people insured in Korea most of it is covered, but uninsured visitors pay that too.
Health insurance
The surgery and a standard lens are covered by National Health Insurance for insured patients; the premium lenses on this page are not.
Ask at the hospital

Questions
Which premium lens should I choose?
That is a medical decision: multifocal lenses give near and far vision but can cause halos at night, while EDOF lenses trade some near vision for fewer halos. Ask the surgeon which suits your eyes and lifestyle — this page only shows what hospitals charge.
Why are there so many lenses?
Each manufacturer’s model and its toric (astigmatism) version is a separate item in HIRA’s list. The table shows the models reported by the most hospitals first.

- Covers hospitals (병원급: university, general, dental, Korean medicine and other hospitals). Small clinics (의원) report to HIRA too but are not in the open data; their prices can be lower or higher.
- Median, average, lowest and highest are HIRA’s own figures. Hospital counts are the number of hospitals listed for each item.
- US$ amounts are rough conversions at ₩1,326 = US$1 (22 Oct 2026). Your card or exchange rate will differ.
- Prices are what hospitals report, not quotes. Always ask the hospital for a written estimate.
