Hello: First of all, you need to confirm the surgical method. Whether the operation is the same in the district hospital and the city hospital, because there are two popular methods of cataract surgery now, one is: ECCE ( Modern extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation), and the other is PHACO (phacoemulsification, extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation). There is a difference in price between these two surgical methods. The first one is fully artificial. The operation is relatively cheaper, and the surgical wound is larger. The second type is semi-mechanical operation, which is relatively more expensive, the wound is smaller, and the recovery is faster.
The second is the price of the operation: the price of the operation In addition to the influence of the surgical method, there are also differences in hospital levels. The biggest impact on the price of cataract surgery is the choice of intraocular lens. Domestic lenses are cheaper than imported lenses. Hard lenses are cheaper than soft lenses (folded lenses). The postoperative visual acuity of imported lenses The effect will be better. If you do PHACO, the wound of soft lens is smaller than that of hard lens. It only needs 2.8mm, and some even only need 1.8mm.
Again, it is the surgeon’s responsibility Generally speaking, in large hospitals, due to the volume of operations, the surgeons are more mature in technology, and the safety factor of operations is relatively higher. In small hospitals, due to financial reasons, in addition to the smaller volume of operations, the corresponding technology and The equipment is not as guaranteed as in large hospitals.
So: To sum up, if economic and other conditions permit, it is better to go to a larger hospital or a specialized hospital for surgery. For some, there is no need to go to a big hospital if you only need to see some outpatient minor illnesses.
