The cost of Corneal Cross Linking (CCL) for one eye in Ukraine typically ranges from 800 US$ to 1,500 US$. The price varies depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, and the technology used (standard vs. accelerated CXL). In the United States, the average cost is 3,500 US$ (per AAO). This means CCL in Ukraine is about 66% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op assessment, corneal imaging, anesthetic eye drops, the CCL procedure, post-op medication, care instructions, follow-up visits, and 24/7 patient support. In the U.S., costs often only cover the procedure itself, with separate charges for consultations, imaging, and aftercare. Always confirm which services are included at your chosen clinic.
