Prices

What surgery costs at RB CLINIC

You know the price before you travel — it is in the price list, not “to be confirmed on site”. “From” is the clinic’s lowest price; each surgeon has their own line in the price list, and they confirm the exact amount after the diagnostic exam.

PRK Laser on the corneal surface, no incision 200,000 ₸ for both eyes ≈ $440 Femto-LASIK Laser with a thin corneal flap from 500,000 ₸ for both eyes ≈ $1,100 ReLEx SMILE Laser through a 2–4 mm incision, no flap from 700,000 ₸ for both eyes ≈ $1,540 Cataract surgery The cloudy lens is replaced, artificial lens included from 350,000 ₸ per eye ≈ $770 Blepharoplasty Upper or lower eyelids, both eyes from 350,000 ₸ for two eyelids ≈ $770 Ptosis surgery Performed only by the clinic’s founder 500,000 ₸ per eyelid ≈ $1,100

≈ $ — at the official rate of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan on 04.11.2026: 453.26 ₸ per US dollar, rounded to $10. Clinic prices are in tenge. Pre-surgery diagnostics — 20,000 ₸ per visit (≈ $40). The price list is not a public offer.

How it works

From your first WhatsApp message to the trip home

Everything that can be settled before the trip is settled before the trip. You arrive with a clear plan, a price and a surgery date.

  1. Send your records on WhatsApp

    Test results, doctors’ reports, photos — whatever you have. Tell us what is bothering you and which country you are in. The administrator replies in Russian, Kazakh or English.

  2. Online consultation

    The surgeon reviews your documents, answers your questions and tells you which surgery suits you and how many days you need to stay in Astana.

  3. Choosing dates

    The administrator picks the days for diagnostics and surgery and reserves them for you. Buy your tickets after this step.

  4. Arrival, diagnostics and surgery

    Pre-surgery diagnostics — 20,000 ₸ per visit. The surgeon confirms the plan and the price from their own price list, and only then operates.

  5. Follow-up exam — and home

    Before you fly home, the surgeon examines you once more. Questions after you get back — write to the same WhatsApp.

How many days to stay in Astana depends on the surgery. The surgeon will give you the exact length of stay at the online consultation — before you buy tickets.

Entry and travel

Do you need a visa for Kazakhstan

For many countries — no. With an ordinary passport, citizens of these countries enter visa-free:

  • Kyrgyzstan
  • Tajikistan
  • Mongolia
  • Turkey
30days visa-free

From the airport — by taxi to the clinic. In a taxi app or Yandex Maps, enter “RB CLINIC, Orynbor 12” — entrance point 51.11192, 71.40725.

Surgeons

Who you are flying to see

You are not choosing a clinic “in general” — you are choosing a surgeon, with their experience and their price. All of them work under the clinic’s founder, Dr. Bigeldiyev.

Хочу отметить работу команды RB CLINIC. От предоперационного обследования до последующих осмотров всё было организовано последовательно.

Был в RB CLINIC впервые. Понравился атмосфера, всё аккуратно, кабинеты хорошо оборудованы. Сотрудники приветливые, помогли сориентироваться. После посещения остались приятные впечатления.

Moldir M.★★★★★4 November 2026

Хочу отдельно поблагодарить Жанерке Аллабергеновну. Перед лазерной коррекцией было страшновато, но она всё объяснила, рассказала. После операции соблюдала все рекомендации. Сейчас очень рада результату!

Beknur B.★★★★★4 November 2026

Была в аппаратном кабинете RB CLINIC. Понравилось, что сотрудники не просто молча проводят обследование, а объясняют каждый шаг. Сразу понимаешь, что от тебя требуется. Спасибо девушкам за внимательность!

Aruzhan E.★★★★★4 November 2026

Ержан Серикханович, огромное вам спасибо! Оперировали моего папу. Сейчас он сам говорит, что разница в зрении очень заметная. Мы рады, что доверили лечение именно вам. Желаем успехов в работе и процветания вашей клинике!

Akzhan K.★★★★★4 November 2026

Спасибо Жанерке Аллабергеновне за моё зрение! Столько лет носила очки, а теперь после коррекции могу обходиться без них. Очень непривычно, но приятно. Желаю вам всего самого хорошего!

Talshyn A.★★★★★4 November 2026

После блефаропластики прошло уже несколько месяцев. Мне нравится, что взгляд стал более открытым, при этом лицо сохранило свои привычные черты. Именно естественность результата была для меня особенно важна.

Amina Zh.★★★★★4 November 2026

Делала лазерную коррекцию ReLEx SMILE у Руслана Нурлыбековича. Очень рада, что выбрала именно этого врача! Перед операцией всё тщательно проверил, объяснил, как будет проходить процедура. Сейчас зрение намного лучше, даже непривычно видеть всё без очков. Руслан Нурлыбекович, спасибо вам огромное за вашу работу!😍😍 …

Sabina A.★★★★★4 November 2026

Ержан Серикханович, спасибо вам огромное! После операции по замене хрусталика зрение заметно улучшилось. Даже не думала, что снова смогу так хорошо видеть. Очень внимательный доктор, всё объясняет. Желаю вам крепкого здоровья и успехов!

While you are here

While you are here — Astana

Kazakhstan’s capital is a young city whose architecture people fly in for even without surgery. Go sightseeing on the days your surgeon allows walks.

    Baiterek

    A white tower with a golden sphere — the symbol of the capital. Inside the sphere is an observation deck above the city.

  • 02

    Khan Shatyr

    A giant transparent tent: shops, cafés and a beach under one roof — warm at any time of year.

    A glass sphere built for EXPO-2017: inside is a museum of future energy.

    The river runs through the whole centre: a calm evening walk after a day at the clinic.

On the days your surgeon allows walks. What you can and cannot do after your surgery, they will tell you at the follow-up exam.

Questions

Questions from patients abroad

Do I need a visa to come to Kazakhstan for surgery?

With an ordinary passport, citizens of Russia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Mongolia and Turkey can stay visa-free for up to 90 days, and citizens of China, the UAE, Germany, the UK and the USA for up to 30 days. That is what the visa regime table of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan says (updated 21.08.2026, checked on 05.11.2026). Rules change — before buying tickets, check the Kazakh Foreign Ministry table.

Can I have a consultation before I arrive?

Yes. Send your records and test results on WhatsApp to +7 771 848 00 00 — the administrator will arrange an online consultation with a surgeon. The surgeon gives final confirmation of the surgical plan and price at the diagnostic exam in the clinic.

How many days do I need to stay in Astana?

It depends on the surgery and your case. The surgeon will give you the exact length of stay at the online consultation — before you buy tickets, so you have time for both the diagnostics and the follow-up exam.

Does anyone at the clinic speak English?

The administrator will reply to you on WhatsApp in English, as well as in Russian and Kazakh. If you need language help during your appointment, let the administrator know in advance.

How do I pay for surgery?

Clinic prices are in tenge. Kaspi instalments are available to citizens of Kazakhstan. Whether you can pay with a card from a foreign bank — check with the administrator on WhatsApp in advance, before your trip.

Where should I stay in Astana?

The most convenient option is somewhere near the clinic at 12 Orynbor St: it makes getting to diagnostics, surgery and the follow-up exam easier. Choose a hotel or apartment yourself on any booking service.

How much does surgery cost?

Laser vision correction: PRK — 200,000 ₸ for both eyes (≈ $440), Femto-LASIK — from 500,000 ₸ for both eyes (≈ $1,100), ReLEx SMILE — from 700,000 ₸ for both eyes (≈ $1,540). Cataract — from 350,000 ₸ per eye, lens included (≈ $770). Blepharoplasty — from 350,000 ₸ for two eyelids (≈ $770). Dollar figures use the National Bank of Kazakhstan rate on 04.11.2026.

Why is it cheaper than at home — and is it any worse?

Prices in Kazakhstan are lower than in Europe and the USA — but a surgeon’s experience does not depend on price. RB CLINIC has performed 70,000+ eye and eyelid operations since 2017, and its founder 35,000+. Ratings: 5.0 on Yandex Maps (217 ratings) and 4.9 on Google Maps (160 reviews).

How do I get from the airport to the clinic?

By taxi: enter “RB CLINIC, Orynbor 12” or the entrance point 51.11192, 71.40725. The entrance is from Orynbor Street; the clinic is open Mon–Sat 9:00–19:00 Astana time.
