What is the cost of cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery is a life-changing procedure. It restores your vision and improves your quality of life. But many people wonder: how much does cataract surgery cost?

At Specijalna bolnica za oftalmologiju "Dr Kozomara," we believe in transparency. Let’s look at what factors influence the cost and what you can expect when planning your journey to clear vision.

Factors Influencing the Cost

1. Type of Lens Implant Basic monofocal lenses cost less, while premium options like multifocal or toric lenses cost more. Premium lenses can significantly reduce the need for glasses after surgery, offering greater freedom.
2. Technology Used Advanced laser-assisted techniques may cost more than traditional methods. However, they often offer better precision, faster recovery, and potentially fewer side effects.
3. Expertise of Surgeons Highly experienced surgeons and modern clinics may have higher fees—but you’re paying for safety, advanced skills, and better outcomes.
4. Pre-operative and Post-operative Care Comprehensive care, including detailed pre-surgery testing and follow-up appointments, can affect the total cost. Quality care ensures the best possible results and early detection of any issues.
5. Customisation of Treatment Some patients may require additional measurements or customised lens options based on individual needs, which can slightly increase the price.

Is It Worth It?

Absolutely. Cataract surgery can dramatically improve your vision, making everyday activities like reading, driving, and socialising easier and more enjoyable. Investing in premium lenses can reduce or even eliminate your need for glasses, adding long-term convenience and quality of life.

Remember: better vision isn’t just about comfort—it’s about independence, safety, and living fully.

Do Insurance or Health Funds Cover It?

Coverage depends on your policy. Many insurance plans will cover basic cataract surgery with a monofocal lens. However, premium lenses or laser-assisted techniques might involve out-of-pocket costs.

We recommend checking your coverage carefully and asking about options for private payment plans or flexible financing.
