Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does LASIK surgery cost in India?

A: LASIK surgery in India costs $400–$600 per eye at certified hospitals. This includes pre-operative corneal mapping, the procedure itself, and post-operative medications. Total cost for both eyes: $800–$1,200 vs $3,000–$5,000 in Kazakhstan private clinics.

Q: Is cataract surgery safe in India for elderly patients?

A: Yes. India performs over 6 million cataract surgeries annually — one of the highest volumes globally. Phacoemulsification (no-stitch, keyhole) cataract surgery takes 15–20 minutes and patients return to the hotel the same day.

Q: How long is the stay needed for LASIK surgery?

A: LASIK patients typically need 3–5 days in India — one day pre-op assessment, surgery on day 2, and review on day 3–4 before flying home. Both eyes are done in one session.

Q: What is the best hospital for eye surgery for CIS patients?

A: MediKaya partners with Centre for Sight Delhi, Sharp Sight Eye Hospital Delhi, and Max Eye Care — all NABH-accredited centres with dedicated international patient desks. Sharp Sight has a Russian-speaking coordinator.

Q: Can advanced retinal conditions be treated in India?

A: Yes. Vitreoretinal surgery, anti-VEGF injections, and laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy are all routinely available at costs 60–70% lower than in European centres.
