The cost of corneal transplantation surgery is generally between 10,000-20,000 yuan. corneal transplants are divided into the following categories: 1. lamellar corneal transplants, which are transplants of only a portion of the cornea. 2. penetrating corneal transplants, which are transplants of the entire cornea. 3. corneal endothelial transplants, which are transplants of only the corneal endothelium. The surgical cost of these three types of corneal transplants is between 1000-3000 RMB. The corneal material is usually donated and the fee is usually between 8000-9000 RMB, so the surgical cost of these corneal transplants combined should be between 10000-20000 RMB. The cost varies slightly depending on each province’s health insurance, but overall the cost of doing a corneal transplant will not exceed$20,000.
