Cataract Removal with Intraocular Lens Insertion OP000

A cataract forms when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This commonly occurs as part of the aging process, although certain factors can accelerate this condition. Cataracts interfere with vision by blocking light from entering the eye. If left untreated, they can lead to blindness.


The lens of the eye is located behind the pupil. During cataract extraction surgery, the pupil is dilated to make it as large as possible. The surgeon makes a few tiny incisions at the edge of the cornea—the clear tissue at the front of the eye—to access the pupil. Instruments are then inserted through the pupil and used to remove the cloudy lens.


The traditional technique of cataract removal is known as extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE). The lens of the eye sits in an envelope of clear connective tissue called the capsule, which keeps the lens in place. During ECCE, an incision is made on the front of the capsule, and the cloudy lens is removed in one piece. In some cases, this process may be more challenging, requiring additional surgical equipment or techniques to safely remove the lens. This is known as complex ECCE. It is not always possible to determine in advance whether a particular ECCE procedure will be complex, and this is typically reported by the surgeon afterward.


A newer technique called phacoemulsification, or simply phaco, can also be used to remove cataracts. Phaco involves using ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens into very small pieces, which are then removed by suction. This method allows for much smaller incisions, leading to faster recovery times. Phaco has become the standard technique for cataract removal in the U.S., although ECCE is still used in certain cases.


To restore good vision after cataract surgery, it is necessary to replace the eye’s natural lens with an artificial one. Whether the cloudy lens has been removed through ECCE or phaco, the next step is to place an intraocular lens (IOL) into the remaining part of the capsule to hold it in place behind the pupil.


There are various types of IOLs available. The standard IOL is a monofocal IOL, which has a single focal point optimized for distance vision. People with monofocal IOLs generally need reading glasses for near vision. Additional premium IOL options include multifocal IOLs, which have different discrete focal distances within the same lens, and accommodating IOLs, which can change shape to adjust their focal distance, mimicking the natural lens’s functionality. Premium IOLs typically involve an additional cost to the patient.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make the most of the information provided?
Use this information to compare healthcare providers and estimate the price you'll pay (see 'What does the estimated price include?' for more information). We recommend verifying this information directly with your provider.
Do my search results include an exhaustive list of providers that offer the service I'm looking for?
No. Our beta search experience currently includes providers for whom we are able to find prices and verify their accuracy (see 'How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?' below for more information). This means there may be other providers available in your area. We are introducing additional providers on a rolling basis. If you don't see a specific provider listed, check back soon.
Why isn't my insurance plan listed?
We are introducing additional national and regional insurance plans on a rolling basis. If you don't see your insurance plan listed, check back soon.
What if I can't find the service I'm looking for?
Our beta search experience includes a limited set of services, which we are growing all the time. If you can't find what you're looking for,
What does the estimated price include?
Estimated prices include facility fees (charges that cover the overhead costs of running a hospital) and professional fees (charges that cover the costs of services provided by medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or lab technicians).
How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?

Turquoise obtains prices from multiple sources, including provider and insurance published data, as well as historical medical claims.

If you're using insurance...

A price is considered fully verified if it is made available by both the provider and the insurance company, and those prices have low variability. A price is considered partially verified if it is made available by one or the other and can be corroborated by historical medical claims data. Turquoise does not currently publish any rates that don't meet these verification criteria.

If you're not using insurance...

Cash-pay prices can only be retrieved from provider-published data.

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?
To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, use the calculator tool on the cost breakdown page. We recommend first logging into your insurance portal or contacting them directly to retrieve your up-to-date deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and service-specific co-pay or co-insurance information.
I enrolled in a government-sponsored healthcare program. Can I use Turquoise to find prices for care?
You should not use Turquoise Health to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or your state's Medicaid program directly for more information.
