You may be quoted a cost for your cataract surgery that you later find doesn’t cover ‘extras’ such as after-care. It’s important to understand what your cataract surgery quote includes before you agree to proceed with the procedure.

At OCL Vision, our transparent pricing includes surgery and all after-care costs.

There are a few factors that could mean you’re unsuitable for traditional or Femtosecond laser supported cataract surgery. This includes if you have keratoconus, if you have an irregularly shaped cornea, or if you’ve had radial keratotomy surgery before.

If this is the case, you can have the advanced IC-8™ intraocular lens implanted in your eye. Our surgeons are some of the few specialists in the UK that offer this safe and effective new treatment option for patients that previously wouldn’t have been able to have a cataract surgery. Cataract surgery with an IC-8™ lens costs £4,300 per eye.

Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery is the latest advance in cataract surgery that is available at only a few centres in the UK including OCL Vision. The incision required to remove the cataract and implant the lens is performed using a precise laser instead of a blade. As this is more precise than traditional cataract surgery, the use of this technology to carry out the surgery costs an additional £500 per eye at OCL Vision.

While standard monofocal lens implants work very well to correct vision, they only have a single focus. This means the lens can correct either distance or near vision, but not both. This means glasses still need to be worn in some situations like for reading and computer work.

These different focal ranges can be corrected by premium lenses. Enhanced premium monofocal lenses correct distance vision while also enhancing intermediate distance vision, while trifocal lenses correct near, intermediate, and distance vision. See the differences between the lenses below, and click here to jump to our pricing for the different lenses.
