There are few options for CATARACT SURGERY at our eye centre and the different costs are listed as follow ( per eye ):
(1) Manual phaco-emulsification surgery and mono-focal lens implant: S$4850
(2) 100% Bladeless Femtosecond Laser surgery & Computer-Guided mono-focal lens implant: S$4850 + S$1500 = S$6350
(3) Manual phaco-emulsification surgery and multi-focal lens implant: S$6300
(4) 100% Bladeless Femtosecond Laser surgery and Computer-Guided multi-focal lens implant: S$6300 +S$1500 = S$7800
Currently, Bladeless Femtosecond Laser surgery is the latest technology available in treating Cataract.
The above-quoted prices are for patients without astigmatism.
For patients who have astigmatism and want astigmatism to be corrected in order to maximise their chances of not having to wear glasses after surgery, mono-focal TORIC implant or multi-focal TORIC implants, which correct astigmatism, cost approximately S$700 - S$1000 extra per eye.
The most modern method of cataract surgery can get rid of the need to wear glasses post-operatively if a patient desires. It would come with total correction of not only myopia but also astigmatism and presbyopia.
If the patient does not mind wearing glasses post-op, then option (1) is enough.
If the patient wants to achieve spectacle freedom at the same time, they will have to consider astigmatism correction if the patient has any astigmatism.
Our Eye Centre will do e-filing for you to Medishield and Medisave to claim the cost of your surgery. If you hold on to a very good Medishield Policy, you will not have to utilize your Medisave account.
If you hold on to only a basic Medishield Policy, then you can use up to S$2450.00 of your Medisave account per eye. This applies to PR as well. You can use either your own or your children's, or his spouse's Medisave.
When you come for your consultation, our eye centre's Medinet computer system will be able to check what type of Policy you have and give you financial counselling ( a close breakdown of the amounts from Medishield +/- Medisave).
Pre and post-op consultations, medications and reviews can also be claimed with Medishield and Medisave.
The above costs (options 1 - 4 ) quoted includes lens implant, surgeons' fees and hospital facility fees.
