The cost of cataract surgery can vary depending on the type of procedure and intraocular lens (IOL) you choose. At Magdum Hospital, we offer affordable cataract treatment with various pricing options to suit your budget. We also accept most insurance plans. Please contact us for a detailed cost estimate.
-
Q5.How is cataract surgery performed?
Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The most common method is phacoemulsification, a procedure that uses ultrasound waves to break up the cataract before it’s removed. Laser-assisted surgery is also available for greater precision and quicker recovery.
-
Q6. Is cataract surgery painful?
Cataract surgery is generally painless. Local anesthesia (eye drops or an injection) is used to numb the eye, and you may feel slight pressure during the procedure. Most patients report little to no discomfort during or after surgery.

The surgery itself typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. However, you should expect to spend a few hours at the hospital for pre-surgery preparations and post-surgery monitoring.

Recovery time is usually quick. Most patients experience improved vision within a day or two, though complete healing can take a few weeks. Your doctor will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for your eye after surgery to ensure a smooth recovery.
-
Q9. What is an intraocular lens (IOL), and how do I choose the right one?
An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens that replaces the eye's natural lens during cataract surgery. There are several types of IOLs available, including monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses, each offering different benefits for vision correction. Your ophthalmologist will help you choose the lens best suited to your lifestyle and vision needs.

Cataract surgery is typically performed on one eye at a time, with a gap of a few weeks between surgeries to allow for proper healing and assessment of the first eye before proceeding with the second.
