The cost of cataract surgery for both eyes in Mexico typically ranges from $2,500 to $4,000. Prices vary depending on the clinic, surgeon’s experience, the type of intraocular lens (monofocal, multifocal, or toric), and whether laser-assisted techniques are used. In the United States, the average cost is $9,500 (per AAO). This means cataract surgery in Mexico is about 65% less than in the U.S.
Mexican clinics usually include pre-op eye exams, surgeon and anesthesia fees, standard intraocular lenses, the procedure for both eyes, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the quoted price often covers only basic surgery for one eye, with extra fees for premium lenses, laser options, and aftercare. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
