Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Phacoemulsification (phaco) is the most common modern technique used in Bhopal.

The cost varies primarily based on the type of IOL used. Basic monofocal lenses cost less, while premium multifocal or toric lenses (for astigmatism correction) cost significantly more.

Factors That Affect the Cost

  • Type of IOL (monofocal, multifocal, toric)
  • Surgical technique (phaco vs SICS)
  • Hospital and surgeon fees
  • Whether one or both eyes need surgery
  • Any pre-existing eye conditions

What Is Typically Included

  • Surgeon and anaesthesia charges
  • Intraocular lens (IOL) implant
  • Pre-operative eye assessment
  • Post-operative medications (eye drops)
  • Follow-up consultations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost difference between monofocal and multifocal lenses?

Monofocal IOLs cost ₹15,000-25,000 per eye while multifocal IOLs cost ₹35,000-60,000 per eye. Multifocal lenses reduce dependency on glasses for both near and far vision.

Is cataract surgery covered by insurance?

Yes, cataract surgery is covered by health insurance. However, many policies cover only basic monofocal lenses, with premium lens costs partially or fully excluded.

Is cataract surgery painful?

No, modern phaco cataract surgery is performed under topical anaesthesia (eye drops) and is virtually painless. The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes per eye.
