The cost of phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in Germany typically ranges from $1,800 to $3,300. Prices vary depending on the type of intraocular lens (monofocal, multifocal, or toric), the surgeon’s experience, and whether both eyes are treated. In the United States, the average cost is $4,900 (per AAO). This means phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in Germany can be about 47% less than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include pre-op assessments, the phacoemulsification procedure, standard IOLs, local anesthesia, post-op medications, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the listed price may only cover the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for premium IOLs, anesthesia, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
