Diagnostics & Consultation

Patients receive a thorough eye evaluation. The process is designed to plan safe and effective surgery.

• Consultation with an ophthalmologist
• Full eye exam including slit lamp and visual acuity tests
• OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) for retinal imaging
• IOL Master biometry for precise lens power calculation
• Electrophysiology tests like VEP and ERG
• FFA (Fluorescein Angiography) when needed

A comprehensive diagnostic package with these tests and a consultation may cost around $1,900.

Surgical Treatment Options

The clinic uses the latest phacoemulsification systems. This minimally invasive technique breaks up and removes the cloudy lens. Most procedures are outpatient with an optional overnight stay. The main difference is the type of artificial lens implanted.

• Cataract surgery with monofocal IOL: This is the standard option. It restores clear distance vision. Surgery for one eye with a monofocal lens may cost around $1,200 to $2,400.
• EDOF IOL Premium cataract surgery: An Extended Depth of Focus lens improves vision at intermediate and far distances. It often reduces dependency on glasses. This surgery for one eye is typically priced around $2,600.
• Trifocal IOL cataract surgery: This premium lens provides clear vision for near, intermediate, and far distances. The goal is spectacle independence. The price for this procedure ranges from about $2,600 to $5,200 depending on whether one or both eyes are treated.
• Multifocal lens replacement surgery: Also known as Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), this corrects cataracts and presbyopia. It uses a multifocal IOL. A complete package for both eyes typically runs $3,500 to $7,000.

Surgical packages generally include the procedure, local anesthesia, and follow-up exams. Travel, hotel, and transfers are arranged separately.
