How Much Does Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation Cost in Mexico?

The cost of phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in Mexico generally ranges from $1,500 to $2,500.

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.
