Why does cataract surgery cost as much as it does?
Cataract surgery costs can vary, especially when opting for private treatment.
Choosing private cataract surgery offers numerous advantages over standard NHS care.
One key benefit is that Professor Ursell will personally perform your surgery and manage all consultations before and after the procedure, providing you with consistent, expert care.
Unlike NHS scheduling, private surgery allows you to book your procedure at a time that fits your personal schedule—often within a week of your initial consultation—making it easier to accommodate social and work commitments.
Furthermore, private cataract surgery gives you access to premium lens options, such as toric or multifocal implants, which can reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses after surgery.
While cataract surgery costs may be higher privately, the investment provides tailored care, faster scheduling, and the potential for enhanced vision, offering great value for those seeking the best possible outcomes.
