Affording Cataract Surgery

The cost of cataract surgery with monofocal intraocular lenses is typically partially covered by Medicare and other private insurance companies. However, patients who wish to upgrade their eyesight with Lifestyle Lenses such as multifocal, trifocal or Toric lenses will usually incur some out-of-pocket costs because these lenses are deemed medically unnecessary.


For some patients, the extra expense is well worth the investment in their improved quality of life. At Mountain Valley Eye Institute, we offer options and recommendations to make clear vision – possibly without glasses – a reality for your budget:

  • Cataract surgery financing
  • Flexible Spending Account
  • Tax refunds
  • Credit cards

Cataract Surgery Financing

You may be unaware that vision financing is available through CareCredit. If you qualify, you can have your advanced cataract surgery procedure with no money down and pay for it over time.

  • 0% interest financing for up to 24 months
  • Longer term financing options with low interest rates
  • Low monthly payments
  • No pre-payment penalties

Flexible Spending Accounts for Cataract Surgery

If you work for a company that offers a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, you may be able to set aside pre-tax earnings to save for cataract surgery and Lifestyle Lenses. These plans can lower your overall cost due to the tax savings.


Most plans have specific rules you must follow, so make sure you know:

  • The deadline for enrolling in your plan
  • The deadline for using your saved money (you don’t want to lose it!)
  • If you are a good candidate for cataract surgery with Lifestyle Lenses (schedule a consultation with us to find out for sure)
  • How much you will need to set aside in your plan to cover all or part of your costs

Tax Refunds for Cataract Surgery

A tax refund windfall can make a sizeable dent in the cost of your cataract procedure. If you want to improve your quality of life by reducing or eliminating your need for glasses after surgery, using your tax refund is a great way to get started.

  • Visa
  • MasterCard
