Private clinic charge around 10,000 USD for virectomy

A scleral buckle and a vitrectomy are not the same operations.  A SB may be done without a vitrectomy or with a vitrectomy and vice versa.

Thank you Dr. John for clarification. In my case, I had partial buckle and cyro for right eye and laser retinopexy for left eye. I have read a lot of your comments on other post and found very useful for me. Thank you so much!

You are welcome, best of luck. We are not able to provide accurate costs to patients of various surgeries.

I am from Myanmar and it only costs around 300 USD for buckle procedure.

about $25,000 is what it cost me, THANK GOD I had insurance.  I had the scleral buckle and freezing done.  ($25,000 includes everything, pre, post, surgery, doctor, hospital, and to knock me out.)  The hospital costs are what really got me (about 19K just for that)

Cost depends on what all is done and where you live.
If you live in the U.S. and do NOT have insurance, then you'll probably be charged somewhere in the $10,000 - $20,000 range not including anesthesia which will be another $5,000 - $10,000 depending on method. The prices are pretty broad estimates and depending on where in the U.S. you live you may be charged more or less.Most hospitals have financial assistance for surgery if you meet certain criteria. Or contact a Knight's Templar office or your local department of services for the blind as each has financial programs available to help.

Hi
If you mean money, be sure will be quite expensive.Be prepared ! Considering do it at public institutions if that is a real possibility in the place you live on.Unless you are really wealthy...
On the other side,an RD will cost you the vision - that is priceless!!

There are too many procedures too generalize, plus you have charges for hosptial/surgicenter/tests/ and anesthesia.
