Hello, I'm 70 and will be signing up for Medicare next year (I've been living out of the country). I understand Medicare will pay for basic cataract surgery, but I would like laser surgery and a multifocal outcome. Has anyone had this surgery with Medicare and were you pleased with the results? What was your portion of the cost? I am a low income senior ($1140 a month) if that makes a difference. Will Medical assist in the cost? I'm going to be in southern CA. Thanks!

Time,y post..as my 79year old hubby just had his cataracts doneYes educate will payfor surgery, but only with nonrefractive lenses...this you still need glasses..If you want multi focal lenses, you pay forthem...his were 4000 dollarsPEReyeIfyouhave waited til age 70 to signup or edicare, there is apenalty for each month since age 65that youdid t have it..If you’re coming to So Calyou might want toconsiderKaiser Permanente,, yes it is HMO, so you will go where they send you..
But they doprovide. U,trifocals lenses at ourcosttoyou..Medicaid’sforverylow income..doubtful would get multifocal lenses..

Wondering what you don’t have surgery where you are
