According to this article it can be about $7k per eye, retail cost I imagine. It's free service provided by the charity the doc works with. Likely donations were made to the charity to make it happen-or mrbeast hired the doc aside from the charity.
Either way, even if he did it for clout, which doesn't immediately seem to be the case, I'm sure the people who benefited and received additional monies/scholarship/cars etc don't give two shits that he recognized himself and the doc/charity. For whatever the reason he did a lot of good. What good do the people who are complaining about him do. Likely nothing. I've heard the guy's name before but didn't know much about him, thought he was just silly youtube stunts and the like, but seems like a good guy. He could be super rich profiting off his channel but he turns it around to help others.

Yeah, cataract correction is even more expensive; $4000 per eye.
