SoCal Eye: Making Cataract Surgery Affordable.
Choosing the right provider for your cataract surgery is essential to achieving the best outcome. At SoCal Eye, we are committed to making cataract surgery accessible by offering a range of financing options and accepting a broad selection of medical and vision insurance plans. Here’s how we make it affordable:
Cataract Surgery -Long Beach Cost Overview
At SoCal Eye, the total cost of cataract surgery can vary depending on several key factors, including:
Your insurance coverage
The type of facility where the surgery is performed
The lens implant selected during your procedure
We perform cataract surgery at our outpatient surgical center in Long Beach, California, which is a more cost-effective alternative to hospital-based procedures. This allows us to reduce expenses for our patients while maintaining the highest standards of surgical care.
Your medical insurance—whether private or Medicare—will typically cover standard cataract surgery with a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL). These lenses restore basic vision at one distance but may still require the use of glasses after surgery.
However, many patients today are interested in reducing their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. For these cases, advanced lens implant technology is available. While premium IOLs are not covered by insurance, they are a worthwhile out-of-pocket investment for many patients who want to achieve their personal vision goals.
Our board-certified ophthalmic surgeons at SoCal Eye offer the latest in premium lens technology, including:
Toric lenses – designed to correct astigmatism
Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses – provide a continuous range of vision, reducing the need for glasses at multiple distances
Multifocal lenses – improve near, intermediate, and distance vision, minimizing reliance on reading glasses
These advanced IOL options can correct astigmatism and significantly reduce or even eliminate your need for corrective lenses after surgery.
At SoCal Eye, we believe in creating personalized cataract surgery plans tailored to each patient’s visual needs and lifestyle. Our goal is to help you achieve the clear, comfortable vision you deserve—whether for driving, reading, or enjoying life without glasses.
Flexible Spending & Health Savings Accounts (FSA/HSA)
If your employer offers an FSA or HSA, you may use these pre-tax funds to cover medical expenses, including cataract surgery costs not fully covered by insurance. Ask your employer’s benefits administrator if these accounts are available to help with your procedure.
Flexible Financing Options
We offer several financing plans, including zero down and interest-free options for qualified patients, making it easier than ever to invest in your eye health.
