Clear prices, with the unit stated
Laser fees cover both eyes; lens-surgery and YAG fees are per eye. The final amount is confirmed in a written quotation after examination.

The published TransPRK range
The current range is EGP 16,000–20,000 for both eyes. The final quote follows corneal mapping and confirmation that a surface procedure is medically reasonable.
A lower number than FemtoLASIK does not make TransPRK a budget version. It is a different access method with its own advantages, discomfort and healing profile.
What makes TransPRK different
TransPRK removes the corneal epithelium and performs the refractive treatment using the excimer-laser sequence without creating a LASIK flap. A bandage contact lens protects the healing surface.
The first days can include watering, light sensitivity, discomfort and blurred vision. Useful vision improves as the epithelium heals, but crisp stability usually takes longer than flap-based LASIK.
What the package should clarify
Ask whether the bandage lens, removal visit, prescribed medications and scheduled postoperative reviews are included. Confirm whether the quote is for both eyes and whether any guided treatment adds to the price.
A written plan should also explain who to contact for increasing pain, redness, discharge or a sudden visual change.
- Both-eye surgery fee
- Bandage contact lens
- Early postoperative visits
- Medication policy
- Emergency contact pathway
Recovery has a practical cost
Time away from screen-heavy work, driving and dusty environments may matter more than the difference between two headline prices. Plan transport, help at home and several lower-demand days.
The exact return to work depends on occupation, healing and the surgeon's examination. Choosing TransPRK without discussing recovery can create avoidable dissatisfaction even when surgery is technically successful.
Price should follow candidacy
Surface treatment may be considered when avoiding a flap is useful, but a thin cornea does not automatically qualify. Shape, thickness distribution, prescription, tissue calculation and ectasia risk remain essential.
The EGP 1,500 assessment is fully deducted from laser surgery. Its purpose is to decide whether TransPRK, another method or no corneal laser is the responsible option.

Frequently asked questions
Is TransPRK EGP 16,000–20,000 for both eyes?
Yes. That is Cairo LASIK's current published range for both eyes.
Is the bandage contact lens included?
The final written quote should state all inclusions; ask the clinic to confirm the lens, drops and follow-up before booking.
Why does recovery affect cost?
You may need more time away from driving, screens or physical work than after FemtoLASIK.
Is TransPRK always safer for a thin cornea?
No. Tomography, thickness distribution and tissue calculations can still make any corneal laser procedure unsuitable.
