| Saint James Szemészeti Központ Budapest Bécsi út 68 | $1,605499 000 Ft16 September 2026seller's price | lassjol.hu Seller's own label: "VisuMax SMILE Pro". Unit: per eye. The page prints 499.000 Ft / szem. The harvested 449.000 is a transposition; a second reader of this clinic found the same 499.000 live under a struck 549.000. This IS the Zeiss SMILE product our 'Laser eye surgery, ReLEx SMILE, per eye' item names, done on a VisuMax 800. CAUTION: the page prints TWO unlabelled figures one under the other for this treatment, 499.000 Ft / szem and 449.000 Ft / szem, as two bare headings in the HTML with nothing saying which is which (list versus discounted, or one eye versus both). Contoura Vision has the same doubled pair, 415.000 and 365.000 Ft. I recorded the pair as a range rather than pick one; it needs a browser check before it is used. The clinic states at the top of the page that every price includes the compulsory follow-ups and required examinations. | |
| Focus Medical Budapest Ensana Thermal Hotel, Budapest, 1007 Margitsziget | $1,766549 000 Ft16 September 2026seller's price | focusmed.hu Seller's own label: "VISUMAX SMILE Pro". Unit: per eye. Scope check: Confirmed: under 'VISUMAX SMILE Pro' the column is headed 'Listaar / szem' and reads 549 000 Ft, with 'Ar kedvezmenycsomaggal / szem' 499 000 Ft below it and a 100 000 Ft discount for treating both eyes. Per eye, list price, the SMILE procedure our item names - and consistent with the rest of the page (VisuMax Robotic 469 000, Robotic LBV 529 000 Ft per eye). LIST price per eye; the next row down is 'Ar kedvezmenycsomaggal / szem 499 000 Ft', the price with a discount package. Identical list and discounted figures to Sasszemklinika (549 000 / 499 000 Ft), and Saint James shows 499 000 / 449 000 Ft for the same product, so the Budapest SMILE market is tightly clustered. | |
| Sasszemklinika Budapest Bécsi út 183 | $1,766549 000 Ft16 September 2026seller's price | sasszemklinika.hu Seller's own label: "Visumax ReLEx Smile kezeles". Unit: per eye. Scope check: Confirmed: under 'VISUMAX SMILE Pro' the column is headed 'Listaar / szem' and reads 549 000 Ft, with 'Ar kedvezmenycsomaggal / szem' 499 000 Ft below it and a 100 000 Ft discount for treating both eyes. Per eye, list price, the SMILE procedure our item names - and consistent with the rest of the page (VisuMax Robotic 469 000, Robotic LBV 529 000 Ft per eye). The genuine Zeiss ReLEx SMILE procedure our catalogue item names. 549 000 Ft is the list price; 499 000 Ft is shown beside it as a promotion, with a further '100 000 Ft/2szem' discount advertised. The most expensive laser route on this clinic's list and 10% above Saint James's SMILE Pro list price of 499 000 Ft/eye. The evidence line prints the figure with a SPACE separator ('549 000 Ft') on the treatment page, while the price-list page uses a dot ('549.000 Ft'), so both spellings exist on this site. | |
| OPTIK+MED Szemészet Budapest Bécsi út 183 | $1,605499 000 Ft16 September 2026seller's price· indicative | optikmed.hu Seller's own label: "Sasszem® Visumax Relex Smile". Unit: per eye. Corrected on a scope check: Fetched the raw markup: the row is '<s>549 000 Ft / szem</s><br> 499 000 Ft / szem' - the 549 000 is STRUCK THROUGH. 499 000 Ft per eye is the price actually charged, and the same struck-through pattern runs down the whole table (FEMTO Smart 399->349, Visumax Robotic 469->419, Visumax HD 479->429). The harvest recorded the crossed-out list price. Per eye and ReLEx SMILE are both confirmed. PROMOTION ON THE ROW: the page prints two figures, 549 000 Ft regular and 499 000 Ft discounted. I recorded the regular price and marked it indicative because the row as printed does not settle which applies. Per eye. ReLEx SMILE is exactly our catalogue item. |

| OPTIK+MED Szemészet Budapest Bécsi út 183 | $1,026319 000 Ft16 September 2026seller's price | optikmed.hu Seller's own label: "Sasszem® FEMTO kezelés". Unit: per eye. Per eye, femtosecond flap LASIK, no promotional price shown on this row (the Femto Smart row above it is discounted from 399 000 to 349 000 Ft, which is why I took this one). First four follow-ups included. | |

Femtosecond flap plus excimer ablation. Sasszemklinika 319 000 Ft, Budai Szemeszet 390 000 Ft at list. The page states plainly that blade LASIK is 'Nem vegzunk' (we do not do it), which is worth knowing. | |
| Optimum Szemészet Budapest Alkotás u. 53. | $1,223380 000 Ft16 September 2026seller's price | optimuminfo.hu Seller's own label: "PROSCAN FEMTO 7D+". Unit: per eye. Per eye. The clinic's cheaper Femto-LASIK tier: femtosecond flap with the standard Proscan (non wavefront-guided) excimer profile. Same procedure family as the Zyoptix HD FEMTO row above, different ablation profile. | |

PER EYE, unlike drszaboantal.hu which prices laser surgery for both eyes together. The clinic's cheapest laser vision correction. The page says the treatment price INCLUDES the first four follow-up visits, after which a check is 15 000 Ft without dilation or 25 000 Ft with. The suitability screening is a separate fee, deducted from the treatment if booked online. | |
| Sasszemklinika Budapest Bécsi út 183 | $640199 000 Ft16 September 2026seller's price | sasszemklinika.hu Seller's own label: "Sasszem PRK egylezeres kezeles". Unit: per eye. Confirmed twice: this figure leads the PRK treatment page, and the savings calculator on the price page says 'A kalkulator alapbeallitasa a PRK kezelesunkre vonatkozik, melynek ara 199 000 HUF/szem'. Four follow-up visits are included in the price. Matches Saint James's PRK at 205 000 Ft/eye almost exactly. | |

Unit: per eye. A single price with no list/discount pair, unlike the Visumax rows below. Per eye. Sasszemklinika charges 199 000 and Saint James 205 000 Ft for PRK, so three Budapest clinics agree within 4%. | |
| Optimum Szemészet Budapest Alkotás u. 53. | $1,062330 000 Ft16 September 2026seller's price | optimuminfo.hu Seller's own label: "ZYOPTIX HD Touch Free 7D+". Unit: per eye. Per eye. 330 000 Ft is the regular price; the price list's second column ('Kedvezményes ar') shows a discounted 280 000 Ft/szem for this row, which I have not recorded as the price. Touch Free is trans-epithelial no-touch surface ablation, so it is an excimer-only treatment rather than a flap LASIK; if our catalogue item is read strictly as PRK/LASIK the match is close but not identical. | |

THE PRICE IS IN A SENTENCE, NOT A TABLE, which is why the evidence is a whole sentence: the vision test is FREE for Medicare insurance or health-fund members, and free for anyone else who then orders their glasses here; otherwise it costs 13 000 Ft. This is an optician's sight test rather than an ophthalmologist's examination, which is exactly our 'Eye examination at the shop' item, and the free case matters because the schema treats a price of zero as a fact distinct from unknown. | |

Unit: per consultation. Under the SZEMESZET (ophthalmology) heading; the identical row text appears under other specialties at other prices, so the heading is what identifies it. Follow-up 25 000 Ft. Pupil dilation 4 000 Ft and an OCT scan 20 000 Ft are extra, and the page says the OCT can only be had together with an eye examination. | |
| HT Medical Center Budapest budapest | $10332 000 Ft16 September 2026reported elsewhere | htmedicalcenter.hu Seller's own label: "Szemészet - Vizsgálat, konzultáció". Unit: per consultation. READING RULES FOR THIS HOST. Prices are bare numbers under a column headed 'Ar (Ft)', so the currency is named once per table. A leading PLUS SIGN ('+ 16 000') means the fee is payable ON TOP of the consultation, and this page uses it heavily; a row without it is a standalone price. A +5 000 Ft surcharge applies to every Saturday appointment ('Szombati vizsgalatok felara: + 5 000 Ft'), stated once at the top and applying to the whole list. Row labels are generic ('Vizsgalat, konzultacio' appears under a dozen specialties at different prices), so the section heading identifies a row. Under the SZEMESZET heading. First follow-up 26 000 Ft, later ones 17 000 Ft, and a patient under ongoing care 7 000 Ft, which is an unusually explicit three-tier follow-up ladder. An OCT WITH the specialist examination is 42 000 Ft and a visual field test 15 000 Ft. | |

Unit: per consultation. Listed under 'Magánrendelés' (private practice), so this is the ordinary paid ophthalmologist visit, not a surgical work-up. The pre-surgery examination with biometry is a separate 40.000 Ft line. Nothing on the page says a spectacle prescription is or is not included. | |

EVIDENCE NOTE: this page lays the price list out as cards and BREAKS THE SERVICE NAME ACROSS LINES ('Alap' then 'szemvizsgalat'), so an exact one-line match will fail; the name and the amount are in separate elements. The basic eye examination by an ophthalmologist. With pupil dilation it is 40 000 Ft. A follow-up within a month is 25 000 Ft, after a month 35 000 Ft.

Unit: per examination. Full ophthalmologist consultation at a private eye clinic. The page states in brackets that a spectacle prescription is NOT included; that is a separate 20 000 Ft line on the same list. Matches a standard eye examination by a doctor, not a free optician screening at a shop. | |

The clinic's standard eye examination, WITHOUT pupil dilation; with dilation it is 40 000 Ft. The same 35 000 Ft also buys a driving-licence sight test, a workplace screening and a second-opinion consultation. Saint James charges exactly 35 000 Ft for its undilated examination, which is a clean cross-check on the Budapest price for a private eye test.
