Financial Responsibility


Our Centre charges a single fee for its itemized services. Keep in mind that only a few health insurance organizations pay for RLE that is classified as an elective procedure.

The Centre Fee covers certain pre-operative and post-operative services. Post-operative services include a 24-hour check and assessments at one week, one month and three months. Details of subsequent visits and your Vision Care Plan will be outlined in the clinic. If you obtain some of your post-operative care elsewhere than CATARACT MD or LASIK MD, you will not receive a partial refund of your Centre Fee, and you will be responsible for arranging and paying the costs of that post-operative care. There are additional fees for annual visits following three years after surgery at our Centre.

The Centre Fee does not cover the cost of glasses, contact lenses, plugs for temporary post-operative dry eye, certain medications, or services provided at other facilities. Please note that you will be responsible for paying the entire cost for surgery on the day of the procedure. For your convenience, payment may be made by Visa, MasterCard, debit card, certified cheque made out to CATARACT MD or cash. We do not accept personal cheques.

CATARACT MD offers financing to its Canadian patients. Should you require financing, this must be done before the day of surgery.

For more information about financing, please contact a CATARACT MD representative at (888) 887-9888.
