Eye care (ophthalmology)
All treatments
LASIK, Femto-LASIK and CLEAR laser vision correction
A laser reshapes the clear front of the eye (the cornea) so that glasses or contact lenses are no longer needed.
Pending doctor checkWhat it is
The cornea is reshaped with a laser so light focuses correctly on the retina. In LASIK and bladeless Femto-LASIK a thin flap is lifted before the laser works; in CLEAR, a small piece of tissue is removed through a tiny keyhole without a flap. Both eyes are usually treated in the same session, which takes about 15 to 30 minutes, under numbing drops.
Who needs it
Adults over 18 whose glasses power has been stable for at least a year, with healthy eyes and a cornea thick enough for the treatment. Detailed scans decide which method suits you.
- Typical hospital stay
- No hospital stay: it is a day procedure. Your hospital confirms it for your case.
- Recovery time
- Most people see clearly within a day or two and return to work in a few days. Plan to stay in India for about a week for the follow-up checks.
What affects the cost
Every patient gets their own estimate, in writing, from the hospital. These are the things that move it.
- 01
The hospital and the city
Room types, equipment and running costs differ from one hospital to the next.
- 02
The doctor
A surgeon's fee follows their experience and how complex the operation is.
- 03
The technique and the materials
Keyhole or robotic surgery, and the make of any implant, can change the price.
- 04
Your health
Other conditions, earlier treatment and the tests you need before treatment all count.
- 05
How long you stay
Days in hospital, any time in intensive care and the weeks you spend recovering in India.
- 06
What else you need
Physiotherapy, medicines to take home and follow-up visits are added only if your doctor asks for them.
The estimate is not final until the doctor has examined you in India. If anything changes, we explain it before you agree to it.

Questions about this treatment
Is it painful?
No. Numbing drops are used, and most people feel only light pressure. The eyes may feel gritty for a day or so afterwards.
How do I know which laser method is right for me?
The surgeon decides after scans of your cornea. Your reports from home help us give you a first opinion before you travel.
