Cataract Surgery Cost

Posts Tagged ‘multifocal’

Hi
My dad is getting a cataract surgery next week and he has Medicare and Medical. Both will cover the cost of a regular bifocal Lens replacement, but they won’t cover the cost of a multifocal if he elects to have it. My questions are:
1- Does anyone know how much it is in Southern CA?
2- Does it work as well as your normal vision (meaning would he see as well as before he had his cataract)?
3- Why does the cost vary by state (I read online that it varied based on where you do it)
4- Can the doctor remove the pterygium at the same time as he replaces the lens or is it better to do the pterygium first then the cataract in a separate surgery (which is what our surgeon told us, but our ophtalmologist told us it could have been done at the same time!)??
Thanks in advance, I really want the best option for my dad!!
