The cost of phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in Mexico generally ranges from $1,500 to $2,500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s expertise, the type of intraocular lens (standard monofocal or premium multifocal), and whether both eyes are treated. In the United States, the average cost is $4,900 (per AAO). This means phacoemulsification with IOL in Mexico is about 59% less than in the U.S.
Mexican clinics usually include pre-op eye exams, surgeon and facility fees, standard IOLs, anesthesia, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., only the basic lens and surgery are often covered, with premium IOLs, anesthesia, and extra visits billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic.
