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 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.2  For example, at Park Nicollet, a hospital in Minneapolis, Minn., it costs about $4,365 per eye -- a total of $8,730 for both eyes. Cataract surgery is covered by most health insurance plans. 2  Many patients who need cataract surgery are 65 or older, and Medicare covers cataract surgery. 3  For patients covered by insurance, typical out-of-pocket costs would consist of coinsurance of 10 to 20 percent or more -- or $1,000 or more for both eyes.
