Patient Instructions: Taking care of your wounds. CLEAN AND DRY. Wounds heal best if they are kept clean and dry. It is normal for wounds to drain fluid for a few days after surgery - bandages soak this up. Once wounds are dry, they only need bandaging to protect stitches from catching on sheets or clothing.
Moreover, the technical equipment used for the surgery is quite advanced. Therefore, the average dog cataract surgery price could be anywhere between US $ 1,500 and US $ 3,000 for each eye, depending upon the skill level of the surgeon, as well as the facility where the surgery is being performed.
1 Within five years after cataract surgery, one in four patients develop cloudiness on part of the lens capsule that remains in the eye after surgery; to correct this, a five-minute procedure, called YAG laser capsulotomy, is needed. 2  This typically costs $250 to $450 and usually is covered by insurance. For patients not covered by health insurance, cataract surgery typically costs $5,000 to $10,000 per eye, for a total of $10,000 to $20,000 for both eyes.
