Inpatient: lowest $1,017.00, median $1,017.00, highest $1,017.00.

One side of the body : lowest $678.00, median $678.00, highest $678.00.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

What it is

YAG laser capsulotomy treats clouding of the thin membrane behind the lens implant that can develop months or years after cataract surgery. A laser makes a small opening in the cloudy membrane to clear vision.

What the price covers

The price covers the laser treatment of one eye. Eye exams before and after and any eye drops may be billed separately, and treating the second eye is billed again.
