It’s strabismus. How much does the surgery cost? Will it be reimbursed by medical insurance?

At present, strabismus surgery does not fall within the scope of reimbursement by medical insurance and the New Rural Cooperative Medical System. It is impossible to reimburse in full. However, some surgical drugs can be reimbursed, but generally more reimbursement should be made after hospitalization. , if the surgery is outpatient, the reimbursement will be less.

The reimbursement standards in each region are still different, so the specifics should be based on the hospital where you are located.

The cost of strabismus surgery mainly includes four aspects: examination fee, anesthesia fee, operation fee and medication fee.

Examination fee: Routine eye examination and body examination are required before strabismus surgery, which generally costs about 700 yuan. Some people are found to have other diseases during the examination and need special examinations such as orbital CT, which will cost more, about more than 1,000 yuan per session.

Surgery fee: The cost of surgery is mainly related to whether one eye or two eyes are made, and it has nothing to do with how many muscles are moved. The cost of surgery on one eye is 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. The cost of surgery on both eyes is doubled.

Of course, hospitals operate in different regions, hospital levels are different, and fees vary. The specifics will be determined by the local hospital.

The correction of strabismus is a very complex problem, including the correction of refractive error, the treatment of amblyopia, the training of binocular single vision function and the correction of eye position. Clinically, except for accommodative esotropia caused entirely by excessive hyperopia and excessive convergence, which can be completely corrected by wearing glasses, other types of strabismus basically require surgical correction. The surgery uses surgical methods to adjust the strength of the external eye muscles. The position of the attachment point makes the eye position normal. Most congenital esotropia and strabismus require surgery. Non-accommodative and large-slope strabismus usually requires surgery to correct.

Children under the age of 18 who have strabismus, whether surgical or non-surgical, should take medicine in time to enhance the overall nutrition of the eyes and improve vision. It is recommended to take LeJing vision nutrients twice a day, one pack each time, with warm water. If you insist on taking it for a period of time, your child's vision will gradually improve, and the strabismus will get better and better, and will not relapse.
