Laser Vision Correction : Eligibility, Cost Range & Recovery Time
2 months ago
I am 24 years old, a student, wearing –5 power glasses in both eyes for the last 10 years, and my power is stable. I want to know whether I am eligible for laser eye surgery, the total cost range, how long the check-up and surgery will take, and whether it is a one-day procedure. I have discussed this with my family.

Based on the information you’ve shared age 24, stable –5 power in both eyes, and long-term use of glasses you are likely a good candidate for laser eye surgery, subject to a detailed eye examination. During the check-up, the doctor will also evaluate your cylindrical power, corneal thickness, and retinal health to decide the most suitable procedure.
The approximate cost starts from ₹45,000–₹50,000 for both eyes. After evaluation, depending on the technology recommended, the total cost may range between ₹50,000 and ₹80,000.
The pre-surgery check-up usually takes 1–2 hours, and the laser procedure itself takes about 10–15 minutes. It is a daycare process, meaning you will be discharged on the same day.
The surgery is performed at the Shivaji Nagar center in Pune, and most patients come and go on the same day using their own vehicle.
If you’d like, you can plan your check-up first, after which the doctor will confirm eligibility, exact cost, and the best time for surgery.
