Most eye doctors are able to treat cataracts, and we believe they should do so. Cataract Surgery with your ophthalmologist, who will bill insurance, is unquestionably the least expensive option. Due to the fact that Medicare and other health insurance providers will pay for both the operation and the cost of a basic monofocal lens, many patients will decide to do that.
However, you should carefully consider a refractive cataract specialist, like Dr. Pathak, whose exclusive focus is on technology, service, and outcomes if your objective is to optimize your vision and be as glasses-independent as possible. There are additional charges, even with insurance coverage, if you wish to totally restore your visual perception (without glasses or “readers”) because technologically advanced lenses are not covered by any medical insurance policies.
