Cost of implanting lenses with cataract removal Surgery
Cataract is the natural crystalline lens of the eye and is an important tissue for delivering the image on the retina for vision. During the cataract removal process, this opacified tissue is removed and should be replaced by anew lens to get good vision.
Is there a difference between intraocular lenses???
There are many species to choose from when implanting lenses. Companies compete to provide the best technology in the manufacture of lenses and adapt them to the patient’s work and hobbies.
What are the types of implanted lenses?
All lenses that are implanted in the eye aim to place the image inside the eye on the retina, so it can be divided into:
-
- Monofocal lenses
- Lenses used to correct astigmatism (Toric)
- Multifocal lenses (for clearer long, medium and near vision together)
The difference in color contrast between regular lenses and Premium Aspheric lenses
Should I invest in the lens implanted inside my eye??
Of course, the use of modern technology to manufacture lenses leads to the best results. For example:
- Applying filters with lenses to prevent UV rays from entering the eye (UV Block)
- Improving the color contrast of the lens with the adoption of the high Abbe number (Abbe number for chromatic aberration-indicating color contrast)
- The material from which the lens is made, which reduces the incidence of opacity of the lens capsule after the operation (After cataract)
Why do the prices of operations and lenses vary??
Determining the price of the operation depends on a number of factors, including:
-
- The type of device used, the type of operation and the technique used
- Type of lenses implanted after cataract removal
- The readiness or development of the medical center or hospital where the operation is performed
- The surgeon’s experience, skill, degree and previous record of successful operations, and these are among the factors that greatly affect the change in the prices of cataract surgery in the eye
