About Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes the clouded natural lens of the eye and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). It is a very commonly performed operation. Phacoemulsification is the usual technique.
Duration
15–30 minutes per eye
Recovery
1–2 weeks (most activities), 4–6 weeks (full)
Anaesthesia
local
Setting
day-case
What to expect
The eye is numbed with drops. A tiny incision is made, and ultrasound energy breaks up the cloudy lens. The fragments are suctioned out and a new IOL is inserted. The incision self-seals. Each eye is done separately, usually 1–2 weeks apart. Surgery takes 15–30 minutes.
Cataract Surgery: published prices and indicative ranges by city
A row marked published gives the range of prices that providers in that city list on their own websites. The other rows are Zavis's indicative ranges. Neither shows that care is priced lower in one city than in another: only written quotes from providers can show that.
Sources: Published prices on this page are the ones each provider lists on its own website, read between 14 October 2026 and 29 October 2026. A listed price is not a quote: a package covers only what the provider says it covers, and the pages do not all say whether VAT is included. Confirm the price and what it includes with the provider before you book. How Zavis sources prices.
