The cost of cataract surgery (one eye) in Ukraine typically ranges from $800 to $1,400. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, and the type of intraocular lens (monofocal, multifocal, or toric). In the United States, the average cost is $4,800 (per AAO). Cataract surgery in Ukraine is about 77% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian clinics usually include pre-op evaluation, phacoemulsification with ultrasound, standard monofocal lens, local anesthesia, and post-op checkups. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgery and a basic lens, while premium lenses, anesthesia, and follow-ups are billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
