Last reviewed: 14 Jun 2026
surgery shows little city-to-city variation across North India; the lens type matters more than the city. The figures below are typical per-eye ranges.
Typical Cataract Surgery Cost by City (Per Eye, Standard Lens)
- Delhi NCR — Rs 32,500 - 39,000
- Jaipur — Rs 32,500 - 39,000
- Lucknow — Rs 32,500 - 39,000
- Premium (multifocal/toric) lens, any city — Rs 65,000 - 90,000+
Rates shown are as per the typical clinic ranges compiled from Indian eye-care sources (2025) and are subject to periodic revision. Always verify the latest approved rates on the official source.
Lens Type Matters More Than City
Across Delhi, Jaipur and Lucknow the standard-lens range is quoted at similar levels. The real cost driver is the lens: a monofocal lens is at the lower end, while multifocal and toric lenses push the per-eye total higher. Tier-2 cities tend to land at the lower end of any lens tier.
