Beware always ask a price before entering into any form of service here in Spain,

I took a person who was looking to have a private operation on cataracs in his left eye, We asked the price 2,500 inclusive 

bit expensive but he asked if he could do an assemment, no problem did a normal eye test that is free at any Optician 

As we were leaving the Health centre, they called us back, 

Charge for a 10 min Eye test, (we were told was inclusive) was 80 euros plus a box of pills? 25 euros 

not bad 10 mins of inclusive treatment was 105.00 euros we will not return has to be alternatives ???

 100 euros seems to be be a fairly standard charge for a private Dr. consult here. 

I don't know if it is of any use to you now, but may help others. Highly recommend Oftalmar at Alicante hospital MediMar International, particularly Dr Blanes who speaks excellent english & worked at Moorfields, londons leading eye hospital.  Dr Blanes leads a great team there. 

Medimar hospital, in our experience so far, ( eye & orthopaedic) has top doctors, latest equipment & very up to date treatment options.  They also have a set price for many standard operations. have a look at their website. They also have good translators available. 

Can't recommend the other Vithas hospital though, also in Alicante, Perpetuo Soccorro (but this was for one consult). Went for 2nd consult to Medimar & had a totally different outcome. 

Hope this helps.

We completed the treatment at sorococo in catagena cost was much less service second to none

But my point is eevwould have agreed the 2500 but then aditions and worse still it was a common eye test performed anywhere for free yet charged 80 plus some asprinsort or similar 25 euros 

You justhave to be carefull
