Eye Surgery in Bali: Is It a Good Idea?

More and more people consider having eye surgery (LASIK, myopia or hyperopia correction) in Bali.
The main reason is simple: costs are often much lower than in Europe or the US, and several clinics on the island now use modern technology and experienced surgeons.

The Benefits

Many patients report very positive outcomes. Some of our clients chose to undergo surgery during their stay in Bali.

They regained clear vision and described how life-changing it felt to see without glasses or contact lenses. The experience is usually smooth, professional, and financially accessible.

The Side Effects

However, most patients experience dry eyes for several months afterward. This is common, even in the best clinics.

Proper aftercare, moisturizing drops, and follow-ups are essential. At Maison Mata, we also provide certified artificial tears in our boutiques to help clients ease post-surgery dryness.

The Risks

As everywhere in the world, surgery carries risks: infections, under- or over-correction, or discomfort at night.

Another point to keep in mind: your vision correction can still change over the years, even after surgery. This is why regular eye exams remain important.

Our Advice

At Maison Mata, our opticians and optometrists focus on precise vision exams and long-term care.

Whether you choose surgery or prefer eyewear, we guide you toward the solution that fits your eyes best. In our boutiques in Canggu, Ubud, Seminyak, and Sanur, we provide Zeiss, Hoya, and Essilor lenses, along with certified artificial tears and free eye exams.
