Cataract treatment at Hospital de la Familia in Mexicali, Mexico provides a full-service ophthalmology solution. Surgery with a multifocal lens may cost around $2,750 per eye, while a bilateral package for both eyes is typically between $5,400 and $7,000. The clinic is led by Dr. Roberto Aguilar, a cataract surgeon with 30 years of specialized experience.
The diagnostic process begins with a comprehensive pre-operative eye exam. This includes a detailed slit lamp examination to assess the lens cloudiness. These tests help determine the best surgical approach and lens type for each patient.
Available Treatment Options
The primary treatment is modern cataract surgery via phacoemulsification. This procedure uses ultrasonic waves to break up the cloudy lens. It is then replaced with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
- Cataract surgery with multifocal IOL: This option often costs around $2,750 per eye. The package includes the surgery, the multifocal lens implant, and same-day hospitalization. The multifocal lens is designed to reduce dependence on glasses after surgery.
- Bilateral cataract surgery package: Treating both eyes in one visit typically runs from $5,400 to $7,000. Selected packages include transportation from Yuma, Arizona. This approach consolidates recovery and travel for international patients.
The Surgical Experience
Dr. Roberto Aguilar performs the surgeries using modern ophthalmic equipment. The procedure requires only a short hospital stay, usually one day. Initial recovery often takes 24 to 48 hours, with full visual stabilization occurring over several weeks.
Hospital de la Familia is a boutique facility featuring 32 private rooms. Its key location is just 200 yards from the US border in Calexico, California.
