Parking and transport details vary by location. Visit the Chatswood Day Surgery or Forest Road Day Surgery pages for specific information on getting there by car or public transport, as well as disability access.
Some, but not all, of the costs of cataract surgery are covered by Medicare and if you have private health insurance your insurer will also cover some of the cost (depending on the type of cover you have). The gap payment will depend on several factors, including your level of private health cover and the replacement lens option you choose. We’ll go through all costs clearly at the time of your appointment.
You will need to pay for your surgery in full prior to your procedure. We accept all payment types including cash, credit card and direct deposit.
Alternatively you could look into early release of your superannuation to cover some of the costs such as Australian Taxation Office’s ‘Early access to super’ (contact the ATO directly).
