Better vision can be an investment, and planning ahead may make the cost feel more manageable. At Eagle Eye Centre, fair and competitive pricing is offered for vision correction procedures, including EVO Implantable Contact Lens (ICL). If you are interested in reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses but are unsure how to budget for treatment, these practical considerations may help.
Three tips to budget for vision correction surgery
- Identify Excess Spending: Review your spending and see if there are unnecessary purchases or places where you can temporarily cut back on costs.
- Start a Dedicated Savings: Set aside savings specifically for vision correction surgery.
- Remind Yourself of Your Goal: Do you want to travel without the hassle of eyeglasses and contact lenses? Do you think you’ll look better without spectacles? Are you looking forward to participating in athletics without worrying about corrective eyewear? Your motivation for vision correction will help you stay on track with your budget.
Financing options for EVO ICL surgery
You may be able to access flexible and convenient payment plans through your credit card program. Holders of DBS, POSB, and UOB cards may be eligible for 6-month and 12-month interest-free payment plans for EVO ICL vision correction surgery. Learn More About Payment Options.
EVO ICL cost vs. the long-term cost of glasses and contact lenses
Another useful way to think about cost is to compare EVO ICL with the ongoing expense of glasses, contact lenses and related accessories.
Studies show that there is a very high rate of myopia in Singapore and that people who wear eyeglasses and contact lenses will spend thousands of dollars over their lifetime on corrective eyewear.

If you invest that money up front in corrective eye surgery, like EVO ICL, then you can save money in the long run and you will have the freedom of improved vision.
How much does EVO ICL cost?
The final cost of EVO ICL depends on your prescription and other individual factors. For that reason, the best way to get a more accurate estimate is to schedule a consultation appointment.
