Standard cataract surgerywith a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) in the United States is covered by Medicare and most insurances. What is not included is some of the testing, the post-op refraction (exam for eyeglasses), and the additional fee for an "advanced IOL" (also known as "premium" IOLs, multifocal IOLs, presbyopia-correcting IOLs, pseudo-accommodating IOLs, toric IOLs etc.). The purpose of these advanced IOLs is to limit your need for glasses after surgery. If you don't care about wearing bifocals or trifocals or reading glasses after surgery, then the monofocal IOL covered by most insurance should be fine for you.

For someone who does not have insurance, the following is a typical breakdown:

Surgeon's fee: $1,700-$4,200
Surgery Center fee: $1,000-$2,000
Anesthesiologist's Fee: $300-$600
Additional Testing: $0-$1,200
Advanced IOL: $150-$1,000

Total Cost Range: $3,000-$9,000 (per eye, depending on IOL choice)

Cost of Cataract Surgery with IOL Procedure​

Price of the surgery for each eye can be 3,500 USD at Istanbul, Turkey.

Benefits of Cataract Treatments with IOL

Treatment for cataracts in one eye or both eyes:

· Improves vision

· Decreases glare

· Improves peripheral vision and depth perception

· Improves blurred vision

· Increases independence

The cataract surgery is generally done under a local anesthetic. The surface of the eye is numbed with eye drops or an injection. General anesthesia is usually only offered to those who can't hold still during the surgical process.

Placidway.com has a lot of affordable treatment options that you can choose from.

Cataract eye surgery varies in cost and in fact might even be covered by your health care provider. If a special lens is required that might cost extra. So, costs can vary from $0 to approximately $3000.
