What Affects the Price of an Intraocular Lens?

A common question before cataract surgery is how much an intraocular lens costs. The answer depends on several factors. This article summarizes what affects the price so you can plan.

1. Type of Intraocular Lens

The biggest factor is the lens type:

• Monofocal (single distance) — the value baseline option
• Toric (astigmatism correction) — higher, due to astigmatism-correcting technology
• EDoF (extended depth of focus) — higher, for multi-range vision technology
• PMMA (rigid) — usually the economical option

2. Material and Technology

Materials such as hydrophilic or hydrophobic acrylic, edge design, and UV/blue-light filtering all affect price. Lenses with advanced technology cost more.

3. Certification

Intraocular lenses certified to ISO 13485, CE, and Thai FDA undergo strict quality control — important for safety and worth prioritizing over price alone.

4. Treatment Rights and Facility

Total cost also depends on the hospital, surgical fee, and the patient’s treatment coverage. Check details with your treating facility.

Conclusion

An intraocular lens price reflects not just a number, but the type, technology, and safety standards. Selection should be based on suitability for the eye and the ophthalmologist’s advice.
