How much does it cost to treat cataracts in the elderly?

Cataract is a high-incidence eye disease in the elderly, and the current drugs are not effective **cataract, and most cataract patients are completely surgical**.

Cataract surgery is a common minor surgery in ophthalmology, as long as you choose a regular tertiary hospital, and the patient's physical condition permits, the safety factor of surgery is still very high.

The cost of cataract surgery is about $6,000 to $15,000.

The cost of surgery is actually not very expensive, this operation is mainly expensive on the crystal, and there will be some disparity in good crystals.

In China, the cost of cataract surgery is set very low, generally about a few thousand yuan, and the majority of the expenditure comes from the ** of the intraocular lens (different materials and different pricing) and the equipment, viscoelastic agent, scalpel and other consumables used in the operation. Now in the era of universal medical insurance, if many patients choose the basic spherical intraocular lens, the reimbursement amount of medical insurance can basically cover most of the surgical costs, so in many grassroots areas, there are many private and public hospitals, under the coverage of medical insurance, can provide patients with free cataract surgery.

The cost of cataract surgery is different in different regions, different hospitals, and different consumables are used in surgery, such as viscoelastic agents, intraocular lenses, etc., and the cost of surgery is different. The cost of cataract surgery generally includes:1

Pre-operative and post-operative examinations, ** fees; 2.The cost of the operation on the day of the operation, the cost of the instruments used in the operation, the cost of air purification in the operating room, etc.; 3.the cost of consumables and materials such as viscoelastic agents and intraocular lenses during surgery; 4.

The cost of medicines before and after surgery, including eye and oral medications; 5.A range of costs associated with hospitalization. It is recommended that you go directly to the hospital for consultation.

There is no specific number for cataract surgery, and the cost varies from hospital to hospital, and the cost varies depending on the type of intraocular lens. Patients are advised to go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital for further examination to confirm the diagnosis. Symptomatic under the guidance of a doctor**.

It may be because the elderly are really old, the lens protein is denatured, and the lens opacity leads to cataracts and vision loss. It is recommended to choose the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital for examination, if it is true that the current cataract is more severe, it is recommended to replace the intraocular lens with inpatient surgery.

Huashan Ophthalmology has an additional responsibility and attitude, which is not only the leading technology and equipment.

Hello, cataract is a common eye disease of the elderly, the main lesion site is in the lens, cataract surgery is mainly to remove the surface seen, the installation of intraocular lens. The difference is mainly in the intraocular lens, and the imported ones are more expensive.

She is a complex body of contradictions. She is generous and elegant, with graceful manners, not only the outstanding temperament of everyone's ladies, but also the quiet and indifferent, gentle and peaceful character, and the hidden pride in the depths of the soul.

She hated the darkness of officialdom, but still admonished Baoyu to study and become an official. "Dream of Red Mansions" character painting - Wang Xifeng.

Cataract is caused by the cloudiness of the lens, no drug can ** cataract, surgical replacement of intraocular lens is the only effective and safe method of cataract, depending on the replacement of the intraocular lens, the total cost of cataract ranges from 5000-10000.

Now the hospital is very dark! My dad got this disease and said it would cost 2,000 yuan a piece! Later, it was not cured, but I heard that I bought it for him after 30 days.

If you do it in a prefecture-level city hospital and add that intraocular lens, it will cost about three or four thousand yuan in total.

The cost of cataract is mainly in the intraocular lens, and the cost of surgery in the general tertiary hospital plus preoperative medication and intraoperative monitoring is only about 2000, and the cost of intraocular lens varies greatly, from dozens of domestic crystals to about 10,000 yuan of crystal function varies greatly (of course, the more expensive it is, the better, and it is good to be suitable).

There are free and expensive ones, mainly depending on what crystals you choose.

Cataract Free Policy: In 2023, cataract for seniors over 80 years old is free of charge**.

The policy of cataract free ** is that for some elderly cataracts over 80 years old and above there is a preferential free **, and in the case of cataract is required to pay **, the policy for cataract is generally that the operation is free, but Chunyou stupid is not different according to each region, some hospital people need to charge, that is, some reimbursement of surgical fees will be given, and a small part of it will be done.

Cataract **:

All kinds of causes such as aging, heredity, local nutritional disorders, immune and metabolic abnormalities, trauma, poisoning, radiation, etc., can cause lens metabolism disorders, resulting in lens protein denaturation and cloudiness, causing cataracts. The disease can be divided into congenital and acquired.

1. First report the natural cataract.

Also known as developmental cataract, it exists before and after birth, mostly quiescent, can be accompanied by hereditary diseases, there are two types of endogenous and exogenous, endogenous and fetal development disorders, exogenous is caused by damage to the lens caused by systemic lesions of the mother or fetus, congenital cataract is divided into anterior pole cataract, posterior pole cataract, circumnuclear cataract and total cataract.

2. Acquired cataract.

Traumatic cataracts: such as blunt trauma to the eyeball, penetrating injury, radiation injury, and intrabulbar foreign body.

Concurrent cataracts: complicated by other eye diseases.

3. Drugs and toxic cataracts: toxic substances such as naphthalene, dinitrophenol, trinitrotoluene, thallium, selenium, copper, iron, silver, mercury, etc. Drugs such as corticosteroids, mydriatic agents, chloroquine, amiodarone, etc. <>

The most effective method for cataracts** is surgery, through which the vast majority of patients can restore vision. At present, the main method is cataract superemulsification. Since 1967, Dr. Kelman of the United States invented the first phacoemulsification instrument and used it in clinical practice, and then after more than 30 years of continuous improvement and perfection by many ophthalmology experts, cataract phacoemulsification technology has become a world-recognized, advanced and mature surgical method.

Phacoemulsification has been popularized in developed countries, and China has been introduced and promoted since 1992. During surgery, an ultramammary probe is inserted into the cornea or sclera of the surgical eye to break up the cloudy lens and cortex into chyle, and the chyle is sucked out with the help of a suction perfusion system while keeping the anterior chamber full, and an intraocular lens is implanted to restore the patient's sight. Phacoemulsification technology truly realizes the ideal of small incision, hard work, short operation time, no hospitalization, and rapid restoration of vision.

There are differences in each hospital, and the choice of crystals is different, ordinary crystals are about 1000-2000, and imported crystals are generally between 2500-5000.

About 3000-20000 yuan. The cost of cataract surgery includes the cost of the surgery itself and the cost of intraocular lens materials. The cost mainly depends on the type of intraocular lens, and secondly, the surgical method and the level of the operating hospital all affect the overall surgical cost.

Hospitalization** is required, and discharge is approximately 3 days after surgery. The surgery can be completed in about 30 minutes. You can restore your vision the next day after surgery, reduce the time you spend with your eyes, and take good care of your eyes.

After surgery, glucocorticoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops should be used as prescribed for anti-inflammatory**. Avoid strenuous exercise in the short term, wear glasses to prevent wind and sand when going out, and do not get water into your eyes for three weeks to prevent infection.

Cataract surgery is currently the most routine surgery in ophthalmology, because the incidence of this disease is increasing year by year, and as the aging population increases, the disease will increase. At present, the most commonly used method for cataract surgery is phacoemulsification aspiration of cataract, combined with intraocular lens implantation, and the cost of this operation generally costs about 6000-8000 yuan. If regular health insurance exists, the cost will be lower after reimbursement.

Compared with traditional surgery, this surgery has great advantages, first of all, the incision of the operation is small, so the trauma and astigmatism caused by the operation are relatively small, so the postoperative vision recovery is ideal.

In addition, there is a more advanced surgical modality that is currently being carried out, which is femtosecond laser-guided phacoemulsification of cataracts. The process of this surgical incision and capsular tearing is carried out under the guidance of femtosecond laser, so the accuracy of the operation is higher, and the postoperative visual quality will be better, and the ** of this surgery is generally about 15,000-20,000 yuan.

OK. Cataract is definitely possible, because the treatment of cataract is actually through the surgical method to hollow out the turbid material that causes the lens of the visual mold lake, these substances are not renewable, so once removed, there is no need to worry about these things growing back. ”

Hello, the free policy for cataract for the elderly is as follows: Recently, 6 departments, including the County Health Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the Finance Bureau, jointly carried out the "One Old and One Young" Bright Eyes and Bright Teeth Project. Among them, the "One Elderly" Bright Eyes Project is to carry out free cataract screening and surgery for the elderly aged 65 and above in the county, so as to reduce the financial burden of the elderly and protect the vision safety of the elderly in a timely manner.

The doctor told me not to worry and that I could have cataract surgery for free, and I felt warm in my heart at that time. Lei Maxian, a villager of Datian Village, Dazheng Town, happily told reporters that in recent years, he felt that his eyesight had been declining, and his vision was becoming more and more blurry. It is understood that cataract is a manifestation of "aging" of the eye, which is an eye disease in which the lens protein inside the eye becomes cloudy and causes vision to decline and blur vision, which mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly groups.

Surgery is currently the only way to treat cataracts, but the cost of surgery is often prohibitive for many poor elderly people. The "One Old and One Young" Bright Eyes and Bright Teeth Project implements vision restoration surgery for the elderly and the needy groups, which is free of charge, which can effectively solve the problem of the elderly in difficulty falling into poverty due to illness and returning to poverty due to illness, and give the elderly a bright world and improve their living conditions and quality of life. "Cataracts, if not, vision will gradually deteriorate, eventually leading to blindness.

Therefore, this policy is very good for the elderly and difficult groups, without this policy of benefiting the people, they may not get timely ** and intervention. He Suhong, deputy director of the ophthalmology department of the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, sued reporters that since September, they have carried out Hu Suizhao screening for poor elderly people in the countryside, and provided free surgery for cataract patients, sincerely ensuring that the elderly have "bright eyes". In the next step, they will continue to publicize, go to the village, and conduct door-to-door screening, so that more elderly groups in difficulty can understand and enjoy the benefits of this project, and timely cataract surgery.

The cost of cataract surgery includes the cost of cataract surgery and the cost of intraocular lenses.

At present, the mainstream surgical method is phacoemulsification surgery, and the cost of the operation ranges from 3000 to 5000 yuan. For high-end multifocal intraocular lenses and trifocal intraocular lenses, the cost is higher because the characteristics of these intraocular lenses can take into account both postoperative distance and near vision. For example, the cost of a trifocal intraocular lens is usually more than 20,000 yuan, and for a regional refractive intraocular lens, the cost is usually more than 10,000 yuan.

Ordinary people can choose aspheric intraocular lenses, which are characterized by focusing on one point, the cost of this kind of crystals is about 2000-4000 yuan, and patients with large astigmatism can choose astigmatism intraocular lenses, which cost about 5000 yuan.

Therefore, the cost of cataract surgery is different for different types of lenses.
