You are incorrect - many organisations who perform cataract ops regard the cost as less than this. The ops start at as little as $9.00. Profiteering is of course rampant in Thai and western hospitals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 The wholesale cost of a standard lens is considerably more than $9. It is in the hundreds of dollars.If anyplace is citing a cost less than a few hundred dollars they are not including the cost of the lens nor the pro rated cost of the machines. And the medical personnel are either volunteers or working at third world salary rates.Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
