What Is the Cost of a Cataract Surgery in India?

The cost of getting a cataract surgery differs based on various factors such as the type of surgery, cost of hospital or doctor visit, room charges, etc. Here are the costs of different cataract surgeries mentioned for your reference:

Type of Cataract Surgery

Cost of Cataract Eye Surgery in India (May Vary Across Cities)

Phacoemulsification

Approximately ₹ 20,000 to ₹ 32,000

Manual Extracapsular Cataract Surgery

Approximately ₹ 25,000 to ₹ 35,000

These costs can add up to the cost of hospitalisation (if needed) and the bill can go up to 1 lakh as well. Since cataracts are the most common surgery needed in old age, it is always recommended to buy a health insurance plan in advance. It can cover the expenses incurred in the surgery, reducing the financial burden. 

If your parents are over 60, you can also buy a senior health insurance plan, which, depending on certain conditions, provides extra coverage during old age.
