Types of Laser Eye Surgery Available in Mangaluru
From ₹18,000/eye • US-FDA approved laser platforms
Flap-based LASIK
A thin flap is lifted, the laser reshapes the cornea underneath, and the flap is laid back. Recovery is fast — usually 1–2 days. The variants differ in how the flap is made and how the laser treatment is planned:
- Standard LASIK (₹18,000): treats your glasses prescription; good for regular corneas
- Contoura Vision (₹27,500): topography-guided, often chosen for astigmatism and irregular corneas
- Femto LASIK (₹35,600): blade-free flap made by a femtosecond laser
- WaveLight InnovEyes (₹45,000): ray-tracing / AI-planned, personalised treatment profile
Flapless keyhole: SMILE
A lenticule of tissue is removed through a 2–4 mm incision. No flap typically means less dry eye and no flap-related risk from later injury. Treats myopia and astigmatism but not long-sightedness.
Surface treatments: PRK and Epi-Contoura
The surface layer is removed and the laser treats the cornea directly; the surface regrows in 3–5 days. Preferred for thin corneas, contact sports and uniformed services. Recovery is slower but long-term results are comparable to LASIK.
When laser isn't the answer
Very high powers, very thin corneas or keratoconus may be better served by an ICL lens implant or corneal cross-linking. A full evaluation at our Mangaluru centre compares the options for your eyes before you decide.
