The cost of cataract surgery with multifocal lens implant in Thailand typically ranges from $2,500 / ฿85,000 to $3,500 / ฿119,000. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the type of multifocal lens (brands like Alcon PanOptix, Zeiss AT LISA, Tecnis Symfony), and whether one or both eyes are treated. In the United States, the average cost is $5,000 / ฿170,000 (per AAO). Cataract surgery with multifocal lens in Thailand is about 40% less than in the U.S.
Thai packages usually include pre-op eye exams, surgeon and facility fees, the cost of a premium multifocal intraocular lens, local anesthesia, surgery, post-op medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the base price often covers only a standard monofocal lens, with multifocal upgrades, facility fees, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
