Vitrectomy: Advanced Eye Surgery with Advanced Costs
Vitrectomy is performed to treat serious retinal conditions such as retinal detachment, vitreous haemorrhage, or macular holes.
What It Costs
MOH benchmarks typically indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 6,000 – 12,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,500
Specialised instruments and hospital stay add to total cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary retinal surgery
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
• Post-operative follow-ups
Implants or special gases may be capped.
Insurance Tip
Confirm whether surgical consumables and gases are reimbursed separately.
Conclusion
Retinal surgery preserves vision. But insurance clarity preserves finances.
