If you have been diagnosed with nystagmus, it is important to understand that this condition is often related to neurological (brain-related) control of eye movements rather than just a simple eye problem. In many cases, treatment focuses on neuro-evaluation and management rather than standard eye surgeries. A detailed check-up by a specialist is necessary to decide the right approach.
If your concern is mainly about removing glasses or correcting vision, then procedures like ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) or other refractive surgeries may be considered, depending on your eye condition. The cost of such vision correction procedures usually starts from around ₹50,000 and can go up to ₹1–1.25 lakh or more. ICL surgery, being an advanced procedure, is relatively more expensive and may cost approximately ₹2 lakh for both eyes.
Typically, these procedures are not done on both eyes on the same day. One eye is treated first, and the second eye is done after a gap of a day or two for safety and better monitoring. Since advanced treatments may not be available in every city, you might need to travel to metro cities like Pune or Mumbai where specialized eye care facilities are available.
A proper consultation with an eye specialist is essential to evaluate your reports and guide you toward the most suitable and safe treatment option.
