Cataract surgery for one eye runs from €3,500 to €5,500. The clinic's Chief Specialist, Dr. Ferran Mascaró Zamora, has performed over 900 procedures using modern phacoemulsification techniques.

Diagnostic Process

The clinic conducts thorough eye examinations to assess cataracts. Patients start with a detailed consultation with an ophthalmologist. The full diagnostic evaluation includes:

• OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): A scan that creates detailed images of the eye's internal structures.
• Complete Ophthalmological Exam: A full assessment of vision and eye health, included with the consultation.

This process determines the cataract's severity and helps plan the right surgical approach.

Surgical Treatment Options

The primary treatment is phacoemulsification with an intraocular lens (IOL). This is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. It uses ultrasound to break up the cloudy lens, which is then removed and replaced. The entire surgery typically takes about 15 minutes and patients go home the same day. The clinic offers several IOL options to suit different vision needs:

• Monofocal Lenses: For clear vision at one distance, usually far.
• Multifocal & EDOF Lenses: To provide clear vision at multiple distances, reducing dependency on glasses.
• Toric Lenses: Designed to correct astigmatism alongside the cataract.

Treatment Packages and Costs

Surgery packages are designed for convenience and clarity. The single-eye package costs between €3,500 and €5,500. This price includes diagnostics, the procedure, medications, and a standard monofocal IOL. A bilateral surgery package for both eyes is also available. This package ranges from €9,000 to €11,000 and covers both procedures, the IOLs, and all post-operative follow-up care. Accommodation and travel costs are not included in these packages.
