Our reading

Four clinics in Hungary publish a current price for cataract surgery. Prices were read on the clinics' own websites on 26 October 2026, and all are in Hungarian forints. All four are in Budapest; every price is per eye.

With a monofocal lens, Budai Szemészet / Dr Nagy Mihály publishes HUF 285,000 for an aspheric lens and PALLAS Szemészet HUF 349,000. Saint James Szemészeti Klinika publishes HUF 357,000–467,000. Sasszemklinika publishes HUF 419,000 for its VIP monofocal option, stated for one eye or for eyes treated on different days.

Only PALLAS Szemészet prices a toric monofocal lens, at HUF 419,000.

For a premium lens, Budai Szemészet publishes HUF 590,000 both for a PureSee EDOF lens and for a trifocal lens. PALLAS Szemészet lists HUF 595,000 for a multifocal lens, HUF 595,000 for a LUCIDIS EDOF lens and HUF 650,000 for a multifocal toric lens. Saint James publishes HUF 613,000–832,000 for an EDOF lens and HUF 619,000–867,000 for a trifocal lens. Budai Szemészet adds a femtosecond laser surcharge of HUF 200,000 per eye.

Prices compare only within the same lens type, per eye. A price without an eye count or a lens type is not compared.

No guarantee or revision terms were recorded for any of the four clinics. Only Budai Szemészet states an inclusion, the first two postoperative checks; further checks and a HUF 40,000 preoperative assessment are extra. PALLAS Szemészet lists its preoperative examination package separately. No clinic names the surgeon for a priced offer; Saint James lists a medical team without assigning a surgeon to it.
