That is interesting. I know the prices for things like LASIK are completely transparent, but that's because insurance isn't involved. I'd assume that insurance generally does cover cataract surgery, however. Some of the reasons might be that the procedure is fairly quick, the eye is easy to get to, it doesn't require general anesthesia, and doesn't require a full OR in a hospital (I think - correct me if I'm wrong). In that sense its closer to oral surgery than a gall bladder removal, for example.
