The price paid seems to vary, but $1800 per eye doesn't sound unusual.

I normally try to avoid spending that much on just about anything besides houses and cars but I figure for decades of not having to mess with glasses or contacts anymore it was worth it.


Just to give you something to smile about.

I see my oldest cousin about every year or two at the beach. He and his wife have a small dog, perhaps the size of a miniature poodle. Their dog was getting older and became almost virtually blind with cataracts. He could 'feel or scent' his way around and still had lots of life in him. They decided to fork over the money for one eye of cataract surgery and I was told the dog was doing great and had even more life :) I want to say they paid 1100 or 1200 dollars, it may have been more, for that 'pup'! But then my cousin had retired from a nice business and I believe his wife was still working and they both could handle the expense and went for the gusto!
Voila!! New Eyesight for Old Dog!

So even old dogs can have new life ;)
