Cataract Surgery in Dubai

The UAE Open Healthcare Directory lists 441 providers under Eye Care & Ophthalmology in Dubai. A listing under this category does not mean the provider performs cataract surgery, so ask before you book. Facilities and licence details come from the public registers of the UAE health regulators; ratings and opening hours come from Google.

The indicative range for cataract surgery in Dubai is AED 5,000 to AED 20,000. The ranges on this page are indicative figures compiled by Zavis. They are not taken from a published price list and are not quotes: each provider sets its own prices, so ask the clinic or hospital for a written quote before you book.

Whether insurance pays for cataract surgery depends on your plan. Ask your insurer what your plan covers and what you would pay before you book.

Cataract Surgery typically takes 15–30 minutes per eye. Recovery time is 1–2 weeks (most activities), 4–6 weeks (full). Local anaesthesia is typically used.

When choosing a provider for cataract surgery in Dubai, consider: (1) patient ratings and review volume, since higher-rated providers with more reviews indicate consistent quality, (2) insurance acceptance, checking that the provider accepts your plan, (3) years of operation, since established facilities signal clinical experience, (4) the provider's licence, which you can check with the health regulator for its emirate.
