Default How much does cateract surgery cost?

I'm considering adopting a dog from a rescue group. She has limited
vision due to cateracts. What is approximate cost to have them removed
from one eye? If cateracts are removed from both eyes, should I
anticipate it would cost twice as much? Is this surgery generally
successful? This dog is a female cocker spaniel, 7 yrs old.

It will cost the same for each eye. In my area, the surgery is very
expensive and is not locally available... I have a choice of 75 miles or
90 miles... The last time I heard it discussed, the price was between
$3000-$4000.... per eye.

Frankly, I would consider surgery only in a young dog.
