What is the recovery time after LASIK?

Most patients notice clearer vision within 4-6 hours of the procedure. You can typically return to office work the next day, drive within 2-3 days, and resume gym/sports within a week. Full visual stabilisation happens over 3-6 months. Bengaluru patients usually take just 1-2 days off work.

No. Numbing eye drops are applied before the procedure, so you feel zero pain — only a mild pressure sensation lasting a few seconds. Mild grittiness or watering may occur for 2-4 hours after surgery, which subsides quickly with the prescribed drops.

Who is eligible for LASIK?

You're a strong candidate if you're 18+ years old, have a stable eye prescription for at least one year, have adequate corneal thickness, and are free from active eye diseases like keratoconus or severe dry eye. A 90-minute pre-surgery evaluation will confirm your eligibility.

Can my eye power return after LASIK?

LASIK permanently reshapes your cornea, so the correction itself is lifelong. However, natural age-related changes — like presbyopia after 40, or new lifestyle factors like extreme screen time during pregnancy — can sometimes cause minor power changes. These are typically very small and can usually be managed with a touch-up procedure if needed.

Which are the best eye hospitals in Bengaluru?

Some of the most trusted and well-recognised eye care institutions in Bengaluru include Narayana Nethralaya (Rajajinagar) , Sankara Eye Hospital (Whitefield) , and Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital (Bengaluru) . Our refractive centre works alongside this established ecosystem to offer specialised LASIK and refractive surgery solutions for Bengaluru patients with the latest US-FDA approved technology.

Who is the best LASIK surgeon in Bengaluru?

Bengaluru has several highly experienced refractive surgeons, with senior consultants associated with leading centres including Narayana Nethralaya (Rajajinagar) and Sankara Eye Hospital (Whitefield). When choosing a LASIK surgeon in Bengaluru, look for surgeons with 1,000+ documented LASIK cases, training on platforms like WaveLight InnovEyes or Contoura Vision, and access to advanced diagnostics like Pentacam tomography. Our centre's lead surgeons meet all of these criteria.

Where can I get trusted LASIK treatment in Bengaluru?

For Bengaluru patients seeking trusted LASIK treatment, the most important factors are surgeon experience, the laser platform used, and post-op support. Established names in the city include Narayana Nethralaya (Rajajinagar) and Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital (Bengaluru). Our refractive centre offers the same advanced platforms — Contoura, Femto LASIK, and WaveLight InnovEyes — with transparent pricing starting at ₹21,000 and dedicated coordinators for Karnataka patients.

How do I find a good eye doctor in Bengaluru?

Start by checking the surgeon's qualifications (DNB/MS in ophthalmology + fellowship in refractive surgery), affiliation with reputed institutions in Bengaluru or nationally, total surgical volume, and access to modern diagnostic equipment. Bengaluru's top eye specialists are typically associated with hospitals like Narayana Nethralaya (Rajajinagar) and Sankara Eye Hospital (Whitefield), or with dedicated refractive centres like ours.

What types of LASIK procedures are available?

Centre for LASIK offers six main vision-correction procedures: Standard LASIK, Femto/Bladeless LASIK, Contoura Vision (topography-guided), SMILE Pro (small-incision lenticule extraction), WaveLight InnovEyes (AI-driven, 7th-generation), and ICL implantable contact lenses for very high powers or thin corneas.

What is the difference between LASIK, Contoura Vision and SMILE?

LASIK uses an excimer laser to reshape the cornea after creating a flap. Contoura Vision adds 22,000-point topography mapping for sharper night vision. SMILE Pro is flapless — a thin lenticule is removed through a 2 mm incision, ideal for active lifestyles and dry-eye-prone patients.

Is bladeless LASIK better than blade LASIK?

Yes. Bladeless (Femto) LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap with sub-micron precision, giving thinner, more uniform flaps, lower complication rates and faster healing compared to traditional microkeratome blade LASIK.

What is SMILE Pro eye surgery?

SMILE Pro is the latest 3rd-generation ZEISS Small Incision Lenticule Extraction. The entire correction is done with one femtosecond laser through a 2 mm keyhole incision in under 10 seconds per eye — flapless, painless, with minimal dry-eye risk and faster nerve recovery.

What is the most advanced LASIK technology in 2026?

WaveLight InnovEyes Sightmap is currently the most advanced FDA-approved platform — a 7th-generation AI-driven system that builds a complete 3-D model of the eye combining biometry, topography and wavefront data for a fully personalised correction in under 10 seconds per eye.

How much does LASIK eye surgery cost in India in 2026?

LASIK costs in India range from ₹8,999 to ₹1,00,000 per eye in 2026. Standard LASIK is ₹8,999–₹15,000, Femto LASIK ₹35,000–₹50,000, Contoura Vision ₹35,000–₹55,000, SMILE Pro ₹85,000–₹1,00,000, and WaveLight InnovEyes ₹95,000–₹1,10,000 per eye.

Is LASIK covered by health insurance in India?

Most Indian health insurance policies treat LASIK as a cosmetic/elective procedure and do not cover it. However, if your spectacle power is above -7.5 D and LASIK is medically advised, several insurers (Star, HDFC ERGO, ICICI Lombard) reimburse partially. We help you check eligibility free of cost.

Are no-cost EMI options available for LASIK?

Yes. Centre for LASIK offers 0% interest EMI starting from ₹1,500/month over 6, 9, 12 or 24 months through Bajaj Finserv, HDFC, ICICI and major credit cards, with instant on-the-spot approval.

Why is there such a big price difference between LASIK procedures?

Pricing depends on the laser platform (Standard vs Femto vs WaveLight), diagnostic depth (topography, aberrometry, biometry), surgeon experience, and consumables (single-use suction rings, custom blades). Newer AI-driven lasers cost the clinic ₹4–6 crore, which reflects in higher per-eye pricing.

What is included in the LASIK package price?

Our LASIK package includes the pre-operative evaluation (worth ₹3,500), all surgical consumables, the laser procedure itself, post-op medications for 1 month, and 4 follow-up visits at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. There are no hidden charges.

Am I a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery?

You are typically a good LASIK candidate if you are 18 years or older, have had a stable spectacle prescription for at least 12 months, your power is within -12.00 D myopia, +6.00 D hyperopia, or 6 D astigmatism, your corneas are ≥480 μm thick, and you have no active eye disease.

What is the minimum and maximum age for LASIK?

The minimum age for LASIK is 18 because the eye must be fully developed and the prescription stable. There is technically no upper age limit, but after 40 we often recommend pairing LASIK with PresbyMAX or a multifocal lens to also correct near vision.

Can I get LASIK if I have high power or thin corneas?

Yes — patients with very high power (-10 to -22 D) or corneas thinner than 480 μm are usually advised ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) instead of LASIK. ICL gives sharper vision, is reversible, and protects from future cataract complications. Free corneal mapping confirms the right option for you.

Who should NOT have LASIK?

LASIK is not advised if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have keratoconus or unstable corneas, severe dry-eye disease, uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune conditions, glaucoma, cataract, or if your refractive power changed by more than 0.5 D in the last year.

Is LASIK safe for people with dry eyes?

Mild to moderate dry eye is treatable before LASIK with lubricants and punctal plugs. For severe dry eye, we usually recommend SMILE Pro instead of LASIK because the small 2 mm incision preserves more corneal nerves and causes far less post-operative dryness.

Expert Analysis

Expert Insights on Eye Care in Bengaluru

Bengaluru is home to a 13.6 million metro and is best known as India's Silicon Valley with the country's highest screen-time index. With a workforce concentrated in IT & SaaS and biotech, Bengaluru's residents log some of the highest daily near-vision hours in their region.

Recent ophthalmology surveys estimate that nearly 58% of Bengaluru's urban adult population uses glasses or contact lenses — a number that has been climbing 4-6% year-on-year, driven by extended screen time, work-from-home culture, and the rapid rise of myopia in school and college students.

Bengaluru's moderate air quality means dust and seasonal pollen continue to aggravate dry-eye symptoms, particularly for contact lens users. For these reasons, refractive surgery — and especially modern LASIK variants like Contoura Vision and WaveLight InnovEyes — has become one of the fastest-growing elective procedures in Bengaluru.
