Corneal Transplant: Restoring Sight, Layer by Layer
Corneal transplantation replaces damaged corneal tissue to restore vision in cases of scarring, degeneration, or infection.
What It Costs
MOH benchmarks typically reflect:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 8,000 – 15,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 2,000 – 3,200
Donor tissue, hospital stay, and long-term follow-up add to costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary corneal transplants
• Hospitalisation and surgery
• Post-operative care
Donor tissue costs may be capped.
Insurance Tip
Check whether donor tissue fees are reimbursed separately or included under surgery limits.
Conclusion
Corneal transplantation restores sight. But only insurance clarity restores peace of mind.
