Dog cataracts...are they removed by a regular Vet or an animal eye specialist? Any clue as to...?

Cataract surgery is expensive because the surgery is extremely delicate and requires a great deal of skill and technical equipment to accomplish. The procedure in dogs is much the same as the procedure in people, but most dogs do not have medical insurance that will cover any of the cost. The average cost of cataract surgery in dogs ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 per eye, depending on the facility and skill level of the surgeon.
