All treatments
Squint surgery and children's eye care
Surgery on the eye muscles to straighten eyes that turn in, out, up or down, for children and adults.
Pending doctor checkWhat it is
The muscles that move the eye are tightened or loosened so the eyes line up. Children also have their sight checked for lazy eye and glasses before any surgery is planned.
Who needs it
Children and adults with a squint that glasses or exercises have not corrected.
- Typical hospital stay
- No hospital stay: it is a day procedure. Your hospital confirms it for your case.
- Recovery time
- The eye is red and sore for a week or two. Plan to stay in India for about a week.
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.
