High Eye Power Treatment : Eligibility for Surgery, Insurance Coverage & Consultation Guide
3 months ago
I am 34 years old and have a very high eye power (around -12) in one eye. I have previously consulted at a hospital and now want to explore treatment options, including whether surgery is possible. I am also interested in understanding if my insurance can cover the treatment and whether I need to pay anything upfront.

With a high eye power like -12 in one eye, you may not be an ideal candidate for standard laser procedures like LASIK. However, advanced options such as ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) or other specialized treatments can be considered after a detailed eye evaluation.
The first step is to review your previous reports and perform a comprehensive eye check-up to assess corneal thickness, eye health, and suitability for surgery. Based on this, the doctor will recommend the safest and most effective treatment option.
Regarding insurance, coverage depends on your specific policy. You can share your insurance details, and the team will verify whether the procedure is covered and if cashless or reimbursement options are available. In many cases, you may not need to pay upfront if the treatment is approved under insurance, but this is confirmed only after verification.
You can visit for a consultation and proceed accordingly with proper guidance and support throughout the process.
