Refractive surgery is gaining popularity in India both among the public as well as among ophthalmologists. Till a few years ago only a few centres performed high volume radial keratotomy. Today, the highest international quality of eye core for cornea, cataract, squint and glaucoma is available in over 40 centres all over India . When it comes to reliability, India has the best ophthalmic surgeons with clinico-academic expertise honed to perfection in the best possible institutions.
The No Stitch Cataract Surgery with the most modern way of removing cataract through the use of Phaco emulsification procedure can be performed in India for as little as Rs. 20,000, for both the eyes are now available in almost all parts of the country.
Hyper optics and LASIK are available and even supra hard cataracts are treated using just 1 mm incision instead of the 3 mm incision size. Photo refractive keratectomy or PRK treats the surface of the cornea with the Excimer laser while LASIK treats the inner tissue of the cornea. For this reason, with LASIK there is less area to heal, less risk of scarring, less risk of corneal haze, less post-operative pain and vision often returns very rapidly.
