A cataract can be small, causing minor vision problems, or can cover the entire lens, causing total blindness. The average cost of cataract surgery for dogs is between $1500 and $3000 per eye, which covers the cost of the surgery itself plus anesthesia, hospitalization and recovery. Most dog cataracts are inherited, but they can also be caused by diabetes, poor nutrition, physical trauma and infection.
Cataract surgery is expensive because it is extremely delicate and requires a great deal of skill and technical equipment. The procedure in dogs is much the same as the procedure in humans, but most dogs do not have medical insurance to cover any of the cost. The average cost of cataract surgery in dogs ranges from $1,500 to $3000 per eye, depending on the facility and skill level of the surgeon.
