Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries that people undergo. It is a procedure that helps people see better by removing the cataracts that have built up in their eyes. The cost of cataract surgery can vary depending on the type of surgery that is performed and the location from which it is done. In Palam Vihar, some of the more popular types of cataract surgery include laser cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. Both of these procedures are relatively affordable, with laser cataract surgery costing between Rs 60,000 and Rs 1 lakh and intraocular lens implantation costing between Rs 15,000 and Rs 25,000.
There are a number of factors that can affect the cost of cataract surgery in Palam Vihar. The type of surgery, the experience of the surgeon, the type of lens being used and the health of the patient are all important considerations.
The type of surgery will be one of the biggest determinants of cost. There are different types of cataract surgery, and each has its own associated costs. The most common type of surgery is called phacoemulsification. This involves breaking up the cataract using ultrasonic waves and then suctioning it out of the eye. It is a relatively quick and easy procedure with a high success rate. Other types of surgery, such as extracapsular extraction, are more complex and may take longer to perform. These types of surgery also tend to be more expensive.
The experience of the surgeon is another important factor in determining the cost of surgery. A surgeon who has performed many cataract surgeries will usually charge more than a surgeon who is just starting out. Surgeons who work in private clinics or hospitals will also tend to charge more than those who work in public hospitals.
The type of lens being used is also a factor that can affect the cost of surgery. There are different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs), and some are more expensive than others. The choice of IOL will usually be made by the surgeon based on the patient’s individual needs.
Finally, the health of the patient can also play a role in determining the cost of surgery. Patients who are healthy and have no other medical conditions will usually be able to have surgery at a lower cost than those who have other health problems.
The cost of lenses used for cataract surgery can vary depending on the type of lens and the surgeon’s preference. However, in general, the average cost for a monofocal lens is around Rs . 15,000 and the average cost for a multifocal lens is around Rs. 30,000. These prices are subject to change depending on the surgeon and the hospital.
