Cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures performed by ophthalmologists. It is also one of the most successful, with a success rate of over 95%. Cataract surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis, which means that you will not have to stay in the hospital overnight. The cost of cataract surgery can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of surgery you have, your insurance coverage, and the surgeon you choose.
The cost of cataract surgery can range from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 50,000 per eye. This cost includes the surgeon’s fee, the cost of the facility, and the cost of the anesthesia. Your insurance coverage may cover some or all of these costs.
There are many factors that can influence the cost of cataract surgery. The type of surgery, the experience of the surgeon, the location of the surgery, and the severity of cataracts all play a role in determining the final cost.
One of the most important factors is the type of surgery that is required. There are two main types of cataract surgery, traditional surgery, and laser surgery. Traditional surgery is the more common type of surgery and is typically less expensive than laser surgery. However, laser surgery may be necessary in some cases depending on the severity of cataracts.
The surgeon’s experience also plays a role in determining the cost of the surgery. A surgeon who has more experience is typically more expensive than a less experienced surgeon. However, the experience of the surgeon can also help to ensure a successful surgery.
The location of the surgery can also influence the cost. Surgery that is performed in a hospital is typically more expensive than surgery that is performed in an outpatient center. This is due to the higher overhead costs associated with hospitals.
Finally, the severity of cataracts can also play a role in determining the cost of surgery. Cataracts that are more severe will typically require more expensive surgery than those that are less severe. This is due to the fact that more extensive surgery is necessary to correct severe cataracts.
The cost of lenses used for Cataract Surgery can vary depending on the type of lens and the hospital or clinic where the surgery is performed. In general, however, the cost of cataract surgery with a standard intraocular lens (IOL) ranges from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000. For premium IOLs, the cost can be as high as Rs. 40,000. The cost of surgery may also vary depending on the severity of the cataract and whether or not any complications are present.
As discussed above, the cost of cataract surgery can vary depending on factors such as Surgeon Charges, Type of procedure & Type of Lens / IOL.
