What moves the price, and what to ask

LASIK laser eye surgery: €990 to €2,500 per eye

Two Barcelona clinics advertise from about €990 and about €1,100 per eye, while Spain-wide guides put traditional LASIK at roughly €800 to €1,500 and femto-LASIK, wavefront or topography-guided treatment at roughly €1,500 to €2,500.

  • What is included, and for how long?
  • Is retreatment included, and for how many months?
  • Is this price for one eye or both?

SMILE laser eye surgery: €2,000 to €3,000 per eye

A minimally invasive laser option that usually costs more than LASIK. Published Barcelona prices are scarce, so this is a Spain-wide range. One aggregator lists higher dollar figures for a Barcelona hospital without saying whether they cover one eye or both, so always ask.

  • Is this price per eye or for both eyes?
  • Is the pre-operative assessment included?
  • Does the clinic perform SMILE regularly, and how many procedures a year?

Post-operative eye drops: €30 to €50 per course

One Barcelona clinic lists drops at roughly €30 to €50 as not included in its starting LASIK price, while another bundles aftercare into an all-inclusive price. Ask whether medication is in the quote.

  • Are eye drops and medication included in the price?

Basic eye exam at an optician: €0 to €20 per visit

Often free when buying glasses at the same visit, otherwise around €20 standalone. Published general ranges for an optician eye exam run €20 to €100 depending on depth.

  • Is the exam free only if I buy glasses, or standalone too?

Complete eye revision (ophthalmologist): €85 to €155 per visit

A fuller exam than a basic optician check: cornea, tear quality, retina, macula and refraction. ClinicPoint lists packages from €85, a named Barcelona multi-specialty clinic lists €155 for a routine ophthalmology exam.

  • Does this include an intraocular pressure check?

Guides with more detail

How we compiled these ranges

We read published price guides, clinic price lists, comparison sites and official fee schedules, cross-checked each figure against at least two sources wherever they exist, and show the range they agree on. Where only one source exists we say so on the line. The ranges come from 155 sources across the whole price checker, last fully checked 14 October 2026, with additions checked on 20 October 2026. We do not use paid placements, and no listed business influences the numbers. Treat every figure as a starting point for a conversation, never as an offer, and confirm the current price and what is included before you book. Nothing here is medical, legal, tax or financial advice. Spot a price that looks out of date? Email hello@barcelonaenglishpros.com.
