Average reported cost per eye for refractive lens exchange varies by region, driven primarily by differences in local cost of living, provider density, and the mix of standard versus premium lens technology selected. Coastal metro markets report the highest average costs; the Midwest and South report the lowest, though the gap has narrowed slightly over the past two years as premium lens adoption has become more geographically uniform.
