LASIK Fees, Laser Eye Treatment Cost Mumbai India
Many of you have seen bargain ads for LASIK. Deals can be dangerous or misleading. In India, LASIK cost varies from centre to centre being as low as Rs 5,000/- per eye to as high as over a lakh of rupees. Many laser centers typically use older technology that is far cheaper with minimal medical safety protocols and quality control. People expect that fees should be somewhere between Rs 25,000/- to Rs 45,000/- . What they fail to understand is that some centres may charge you this for very poorly maintained lasers, re-use disposables and do not have the expertise to deal with complications. In a surgery where tests like HIV are not done for patients, it becomes extremely important to tread with caution when choosing a LASIK centre.

This entire evaluation takes about 2 hours.
Tests include
- Wavefront analysis
- Topography
- Pachymetry
- Dry eye test
- Cycloplegic refraction
- Pupil size in dim light
Cost of LASIK will vary from centre to centre, and this is determined by what technology and expertise of the surgeon they offer you.
Dr Anand Shroff is our laser eye surgeon he will conduct various tests himself. In fact, Dr Anand Shroff sees you not just pre LASIK, does the procedure himself, but also sees you post LASIK as well.
The test are done for 2 things, one for the quantitative part, which is to determine if you will achieve 20/20 or 6/6 vision or not, and more importantly the qualitative part, which determines if this procedure is safe for you esp in the future. These tests include wavefront analysis with an aberrometer, pupil size checking for night vision issues, dry eye test, topography test, corneal thickness etc.
Now Shroff Eye, Mumbai is one centre which performs over 6 LASIK platforms using 2 advanced lasers- The Concerto 500 Hz laser which is the only one in India and the VisuMax laser. Using these we have performed over 20,000 procedures over 17 years of LASIK such as custom LASIK, bladeless LASIK, surface ablations, epiLASIK, wavefront guided LASIK, ReLEx SmILE, topo link PRK etc.
The choice is ideally not with you. It is not like a cafeteria where you get a menu card from which you can choose. But most importantly is to see what procedure your eye needs and is suitable for you. As at Shroff Eye it is not about getting you to be power zero or see 20/20 but make you 20/happy without having any side effects in future.
This comes only after your checkup with Dr Shroff, who will plan the treatment with you.
So, the best step forward for you is to schedule an evaluation with Dr Anand Shroff and determine what is specific for your eyes rather than just seeking general information online.

You may wonder why we do not have a wide range of fees or LASIK cost displayed on the website like some laser centers. That’s easy. We only do LASIK one way, the way we would want it done for our own family members, many of whom we already have. We plan and perform your procedure using the best customized plans with the safest technology available anywhere worldwide to help you achieve your personal best vision.
Instead of a ‘sales call’, it starts with a careful evaluation and concern of the health of your eyes, visual needs, and lifestyle. And instead of just performing the laser treatment, we’re committed to taking care of you after your procedure to ensure a great long-term result!
Our laser treatments are customized using the most advanced laser technology in the world today – The Concerto 500 Hz laser technology, to produce consistent, safe and accurate vision results. Click here to read more about our laser technology.
You might get a deeply discounted fee at some center, but only by agreeing to lesser technology, less surgeon involvement, and much less follow up care with more importantly not-so desired results. You might visit a center offering a very low price for LASIK. But don’t be surprised if your fee climbs steeply once you’ve been evaluated, and treatment then is itemized. And more importantly, in most cases, your surgeon won’t be the one doing your evaluation, the single most important step to accuracy in treatment as this step collects the data for the laser treatment!
Your sight is too important to take unnecessary risks.
Since it involves your eyes, I would request you to not consider price as the sole deciding factor. You will be misled with this.
There are many laser centers in India charging as low as Rs 7,000/- per eye for LASIK which one may end up paying more than Rs 50,000/- for both eyes in other centers with the exact same laser technology!
Many end up paying far more than what it is valid for older laser technology, esp in India since not many do technology based research, but just compare prices assuming that the treatment is the same in all centers.
It’s important to do your homework and research before having LASIK. You should learn as much as you can about available technologies and about your surgeon in whom you place your trust to take care of your precious sight.
