  3. Cost. The Cataract treatment cost in Germany ranges from $4429 to $7285. In comparison, the average cost in the United States is around $3500 per eye, implying a potential cost advantage when considering bilateral cataract surgery.
  4. Service level. Patients appreciate the high-quality service, demonstrated by the good staff and the personalized approach to the patient.
