Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the cloudy lens from your eye. It is usually done as an outpatient procedure, which means you can go home the same day. The cost of cataract surgery can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of surgery you have, your insurance coverage, and the surgeon’s fees. In general, cataract surgery is a very safe and effective procedure with a high success rate.
The cost of cataract surgery can range from Rs. 25000 to Rs. 30000 per eye. The exact cost will depend on the type of surgery you have, your insurance coverage, and the surgeon’s fees. For example, if you have insurance that covers part of the cost of cataract surgery, your out-of-pocket cost will be less than if you don’t have insurance.
There are several factors that can affect the cost of cataract surgery. The type of surgery, the surgeon’s experience, and the location of the surgery can all play a role in determining the price.
The type of cataract surgery will also affect the cost. There are two main types of cataract surgery: traditional surgery and laser surgery. Traditional surgery is usually less expensive than laser surgery, but it can take longer to recover from. Laser surgery is more expensive, but it often has a shorter recovery time.
The experience of the surgeon can also affect the cost of cataract surgery. Surgeons who have more experience performing the procedure often charge more for their services. However, this isn’t always the case. Some surgeons who are new to the field may offer discounts to attract patients.
The location of the surgery can also play a role in determining the cost. Cataract surgery is typically more expensive in larger cities than in smaller towns. This is because there is usually a greater demand for the procedure in larger cities. Additionally, the cost of living in a larger city is typically higher than in a smaller town, which can also drive up the price of surgery.
The cost of lenses used for Cataract Surgery can vary depending on the type of lens you choose.
Standard monofocal lenses are the most basic type of intraocular lens (IOL). They correct your vision at one distance, usually far away. This is the most common type of IOL. Monofocal lenses cost between Rs. 9000 and Rs. 12000.
The next step up are multifocal lenses. These can correct your vision at multiple distances. They usually cost between Rs. 20000 and Rs. 35000.
The most expensive type of IOL is the accommodative lens. This is a newer type of lens that adjusts its focus as your eye moves. It can correct your vision at all distances. The cost for an accommodative lens is usually between Rs. 40000 and Rs. 45000
