Understanding Cataract Surgery Costs

Cataract surgery is a safe, effective procedure that removes the cloudy natural lens in your eye and replaces it with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). The cost of cataract surgery varies based on several factors, including the type of lens you choose, whether you have astigmatism, and your insurance coverage.

It depends on the lens you choose:

  • Standard Monofocal Lens: You’ll likely need reading glasses for close work

However, some patients may develop posterior capsule opacification (PCO), sometimes called a “secondary cataract,” where the membrane behind the lens becomes cloudy. This is easily treated with a quick, painless laser procedure called YAG capsulotomy.
