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](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/ht-medical-center.md) | budapest | Budapest | €88 | 32 000 Ft | 16 September 2026 | https://htmedicalcenter.hu/arak/ | 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. | | [Medve Medical Egészségközpont](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/medve-medical-egeszsegkozpont.md) | Medve utca 34-40. | Budapest | €91 | 33 000 Ft | 16 September 2026 | https://maganrendelesbudapest.hu/araink/ | Seller's own label: "Szemészeti vizsgálat". Unit: per consultation. Under the SZEMESZET heading with a named ophthalmologist. Follow-up within six months 25 000 Ft. Treating an acute inflammation plus a prescription is a separate 26 000 Ft line, and children are seen from age six for inflammation only. | | [Dr. Szabó Antal](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/dr-szabo-antal.md) | 1126 Budapest, Tartsay Vilmos utca 14. | Budapest | €97 | 35 000 Ft | 16 September 2026 | https://drszaboantal.hu/mulencse-mutet-arak/ | Seller's own label: "Szakorvosi konzultáció és vizsgálat". 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. | | [OPTIK+MED Szemészet](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/optik-med-szemeszet.md) | Bécsi út 183 | Budapest | €97 | 35 000 Ft | 16 September 2026 | https://optikmed.hu/szakrendeles-arak/ | Seller's own label: "Alap szemvizsgálat". Unit: per examination. 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. Writing a prescription is a separate 5 000 Ft line. | | [Optimum Szemészet](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/optimum-szemeszet.md) | Alkotás u. 53. | Budapest | €97 | 35 000 Ft | 16 September 2026 | https://optimuminfo.hu/arak/ | Seller's own label: "Szemészeti szakorvosi vizsgálat (szemüvegfelírást nem tartalmazza)". 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. | | [Sasszemklinika](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/sasszemklinika.md) | Bécsi út 183 | Budapest | €97 | 35 000 Ft | 16 September 2026 | https://sasszemklinika.hu/szakrendeles-arak | Seller's own label: "Alap szemvizsgalat". Unit: per examination. 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. This is a clinic price, not an optician's, so it is not our 'Eye examination at the shop' item. | | [Budai Szemészeti Központ](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/budai-szemeszeti-kozpont.md) | Jagelló út 14. | Budapest | €97 | 35 000 Ft | 5 September 2026 | https://www.budaiszemeszet.hu/arlista | General ophthalmological examination, not including prescription for glasses. | | [Ezüstfény Magánklinika](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/ezustfeny-maganklinika.md) | X.

Unit: per examination. A full ophthalmologist's examination including dilated fundus check, not an optician's sight test. Without dilation 35.000 Ft, with OCT 45.000 Ft. Our 'Eye examination, standard' item is closer to the without-dilation line, and 'Eye examination at the shop' is a different thing entirely (this is a clinic). | | [Saint James Szemészeti Klinika](https://cheaper-abroad.com/en/providers/saint-james-szemeszeti-klinika.md) | 1034 Budapest.
