Cataract surgery is a common procedure that can improve your vision. There are two types of cataract surgery- cataract extraction and cataract implantation. Cataract extraction is the removal of the cloudy lens in your eye. It is the most common type of surgery and is usually done as an outpatient procedure. Cataract implantation is the placement of a new, artificial lens in your eye. It is more complex than cataract extraction and requires a hospital stay. The cost of cataract surgery varies depending on the type of surgery you have and where you have it done. Generally, cataract surgery costs between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 60,000 per eye.
There are various factors that can affect the cost of cataract surgery. The type of surgery, the experience of the surgeon, the location of the surgery and the type of lens being used are all important considerations.
The type of surgery is one of the most important factors in determining the cost of cataract surgery. There are two main types of surgery, traditional open-heart surgery and phacoemulsification.
The experience of the surgeon is another important factor in determining the cost of cataract surgery. A surgeon who has performed many procedures will typically charge more than a surgeon who is just starting out. The location of the surgery is also a factor. Surgery performed in a hospital will usually cost more than surgery performed in an outpatient facility.
The type of lens being used is another important consideration. There are two main types of lenses, monofocal and multifocal. Monofocal lenses correct for one distance, usually either far or near. Multifocal lenses correct for both distance and near vision. Multifocal lenses are more expensive than monofocal lenses, but they offer a greater range of vision.
The cost of lenses used for cataract surgery can vary depending on the type of lens you choose. The most common type of lens used for cataract surgery is a monofocal lens, which can cost between Rs. 3,000-5,000. However, there are also more expensive lenses available, such as a multifocal lens, which can cost up to Rs. 10,000. Additionally, your insurance coverage may affect the cost of your surgery. It is important to speak with your doctor about all of your options prior to having surgery to ensure that you are getting the best possible care.
