Affordable Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery costs are discussed during your consultation, and Medicare typically covers the procedure with certain standard lens implants. We’re excited to share that our premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), which offer advanced vision correction features, are Medicare-approved—giving you the option to upgrade your vision at an additional cost.

For Every Lifestyle: Replacement Lenses After Cataracts
Modern cataract surgery goes beyond simply removing the cloudy lens—today, intraocular lens implants (IOLs) are the standard for restoring vision. Unlike the past, when patients relied on thick glasses, IOLs not only improve clarity but also reduce the risk of serious eye conditions. Advanced options like toric lenses for astigmatism and presbyopia-correcting lenses for distance vision offer customized solutions, though they may not be covered by insurance.
