Keratoconus & Cross-LinkingDry EyeCorneal Ulcer & InfectionTransplant, Dystrophy & PterygiumCost & Booking

Keratoconus & Cross-Linking

2 answers
There's no cure that reverses it, but it's very controllable. Corneal cross-linking halts progression in over 90% of treated eyes, and specialty lenses restore clear vision — so early treatment usually avoids a transplant.
It's done with numbing drops, so not during treatment; the eye can feel sore and light-sensitive for a few days afterwards while the surface heals.

Dry Eye

2 answers
Watery eyes are a classic sign of dry eye — an irritated surface floods with reflex tears that don't stay on the eye. Treating the dryness usually settles the watering.
It's usually managed rather than cured, but symptoms can be controlled very well by treating the underlying cause, such as oil-gland dysfunction.

Corneal Ulcer & Infection

2 answers
Yes — it can scar the cornea and threaten vision quickly. A painful red eye with a white spot, discharge or light sensitivity needs same-day care, especially for contact-lens wearers.
Yes — overwear, sleeping in lenses and poor hygiene are common causes of keratitis and ulcers. If your eye is red and painful, remove your lenses and get checked the same day.

Transplant, Dystrophy & Pterygium

3 answers
It's one of the most successful transplant surgeries, especially modern layer-specific techniques (DMEK/DSEK/DALK) with lower rejection risk. Success depends on the reason for surgery and eye health.
It can, which is why we use a graft of your own tissue to lower that risk. UV sunglasses afterwards help prevent regrowth.
Many dystrophies are inherited, so there can be a risk depending on the type. We can explain the pattern for your specific dystrophy.

Cost & Booking

2 answers
From about ₹5,000 for non-surgical keratoconus care to ₹1,80,000 for advanced transplant; cross-linking from ₹25,000, pterygium from ₹15,000 (indicative). Cashless and Easy EMI are available.
Most medically necessary corneal treatment is covered, subject to your policy. We offer cashless options across empanelled insurers and TPAs, government schemes and Easy EMI.
Corneal Emergency
