Cataract Surgery Cost: a Closer Look

Many patients fear that cataract surgery will entail hefty out-of-pocket costs. In truth, many types of cataract treatment, including surgery, are commonly covered by health and vision insurance plans. 

The first step in breaking down cataract surgery cost is to look more closely at the elements that combine to form the total treatment cost. In addition to surgical fees and the cost of the actual procedure itself, most patients will need to be fitted with an intraocular lens (IOL). Effectively replacing the diseased lens that is removed during surgery, a range of IOLs are available. Benefits, as well as cost, vary. 

Standard, monofocal IOLs (only correcting for nearsightedness) are typically considered the standard of care, meaning they are most often covered by insurance. Premium IOLs, including TECNIS® and ReSTOR®, offer a number of advantages over monofocal lenses. Though premium IOLs are more expensive, they allow for vision correction at a range of distances and often negate the need for reading glasses. Additional charges may also be associated with the implantation of a premium IOL, including incisions in the cornea to eliminate astigmatism.
