Cataract surgery without the wait — and premium lenses on request
Cataract surgery is publicly funded at home but the queues are long, and premium lens upgrades are self-pay anyway. The hospital schedules on assessment, with premium intraocular lens options available.
Also known as: cataract operation abroad, lens replacement, IOL surgery
Why patients travel for this
- —The core pain at home is the waiting list, not the standard procedure cost.
- —Premium (multifocal/toric) lens upgrades are self-pay at home regardless.
- —Scheduled around your trip rather than an open-ended queue.
The waiting-list reality at home
- —🇬🇧 UK / 🇨🇦 Canada: cataract surgery is funded but waits run for months.
- —Premium intraocular lenses are a self-pay upgrade in all four markets.
- —We sell this on speed and lens choice, not on a headline price difference.

Is this suitable for everyone?
We only accept elective, stable cases. Acute or emergency cases are never accepted for cross-border travel. Suitability is always confirmed by the hospital's clinical assessment.
