All About Vision has partnered with a leading industry analyst to create a new article on cataract surgery cost.

Insurance covers traditional cataract surgery, but with the increasing interest in premium IOLs — which require some out-of-pocket expense — consumers are more often researching the cost aspect of the procedure. All About Vision’s new article includes comprehensive information and price charts.

Cataract removal is a common and safe procedure, and intraocular lenses (IOLs) displaced the use of post-surgical glasses or contact lenses in the 1980s. However, these traditional IOLs have been single-vision, generally requiring the use of reading glasses for up-close vision.

Now, a new generation of IOLs is available offering a range of vision.  And thanks to increased consumer advertising of brands such as Crystalens, consumer interest is rapidly growing.

This new article is one of 13 covering various cataract-related topics, providing the most comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of this subject on the Web.

Dr. Burt Dubow’s new article on eye drops explains the difference between OTC and Rx, and uses for such conditions as redness, dryness, itching and more.  Also: Some information on preservative allergies and preservative-free drops, and how to instill drops.
