Vitreoretinal Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of vitreoretinal surgery in the UAE typically ranges from $5,500 to $20,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Vitreoretinal surgery treats problems at the back of the eye, such as retinal detachment, macular holes and bleeding into the vitreous gel. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Condition treated
• Gas or oil tamponade
• Anaesthesia
• Follow-up

Eye surgery in the UAE is usually priced per eye. Check whether a quote covers one or both eyes.

Vitrectomy removes the vitreous gel so the retina can be repaired. A gas or oil bubble may be used to hold the retina in place.

Head positioning may be needed after gas, and flying is not allowed until the gas has gone. Vision recovers over weeks to months.
