Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having cataract and you want to undergo cataract surgery. Usually cataract surgery is done in one eye in each setting and the operation for the second eye is done after a gap of 2-3 days.
The cost of cataract surgery depends on the type of surgery. Small incision cataract surgery usually costs around Rs. 10,000, whereas phacoemulsification costs around Rs. 25,000 to Rs,40,000 depending on the type of intraocular lens implanted.


Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
