My left eye and vision is improving after the cataract surgery a few days ago. Most people after age 50 may need to have the cataract surgery because the lenses of the eyes will get cloudier and result in blurred vision that could affect the daily activities like reading, driving etc.
The actual surgery takes about 10 minutes and is painless. It is a procedure whereby the eye surgeon removed the cataract in the eye and replaces it with an artificial lens so you may be able to have a clearer vision for the rest of your life.
I am happy that I had the surgery done on my left eye and will soon be going for the surgery on the right eye.
If one engages the services of a private eye specialist, the total bill for cataract operation of both eyes may come up to $14,000 plus. However, at the government hospitals, after subsidies for Singapore citizens and PRs the bill should be around $2,600. I think one may use his/her Medisave of up to $2,200. The rest may be paid in cash ($400).
