Some clinics may present a great headline price, but there may be added extras that haven’t been accounted for, e.g. your aftercare and subsequent appointments after the procedure. If you’ve decided private treatment is the way forward but don’t feel you can afford to pay for the procedure in one lump sum, many clinics now offer finance options. This allows you to split the cost over 10-24 months, depending on the clinic. The financing options below are based on the cheaper Monofocal Lens RLE Cataract Surgery option (Multifocal, Trifocal and Toric options will be more expensive).
