- Dependence on glasses or contact lenses
- Gradual clouding of vision (cataracts)
- Flashes of light or floaters (retinal issues)
- Loss of peripheral vision

When is Treatment Required?
LASIK is recommended for stable myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism in adults over 18. Cataract surgery is required when lens opacity significantly impairs vision or quality of life. Retinal surgery is indicated for detachment, diabetic retinopathy, or macular degeneration.
Treatment Options
LASIK Eye Surgery
Laser vision correction for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision or better.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)
Flapless, minimally invasive laser vision correction with faster recovery than conventional LASIK.
Cataract Surgery with Premium IOL
Phacoemulsification with multifocal or toric intraocular lens for spectacle independence post-surgery.
Retinal Surgery
Vitreoretinal procedures for retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular hole.
Corneal Transplant (DSAEK/DALK)
Partial or full corneal transplantation for keratoconus, corneal scarring, or dystrophies.
Estimated Cost in India
LASIK: $400–$800 per eye. Cataract with premium IOL: $600–$1,200 per eye. Compared to $2,000–$4,000 per eye in the USA.
