Cataract surgery and Medicare
Medicare covers cataract surgery with a standard lens when your vision meets its criteria. If you choose an HD, Toric or Vivity lens, there is an added out-of-pocket cost for the lens upgrade. We give you that amount in writing at your consultation, before you decide, and can talk through payment plans.
What to bring

- A photo ID
- A list of your medications
- A referral, if your plan requires one
