Choosing to reduce your dependence on glasses is a considered decision, and the cost deserves to be just as clear before you commit. This hub is the price-comparison engine for our whole refractive range — every verified figure in one master table, plus what drives the differences, what sits outside the package, and how EMI and insurance actually work.
Every figure here is an indicative, starting-from range, never a fixed quote — your exact cost is confirmed only after a detailed eye examination, because it depends on your eyes and the technique that genuinely suits them.
Indicative ranges help you plan; a precise figure comes after an eye check. Consult with our doctors about your options, candidacy and a clear, personalised estimate.
Book a ConsultationThe honest answer is that there is no single flat price. Refractive surgery — specs removal, correcting your glasses number or power — is personalised, and the cost rises with the technology and the level of customisation your eyes need. As a guide, laser vision correction here starts from around ₹30,000 per eye for SBK LASIK and extends to SMILE from ₹1,25,000 per eye at the advanced end.
The table below compares the full ladder side by side. Read the pricing-basis column carefully: most laser procedures are quoted per eye, but the Contoura Vision tiers are quoted for both eyes.
| Procedure | Indicative starting-from | Pricing basis | Often suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBK LASIK | ₹30,000 – ₹40,000 | Per eye | Standard powers wanting an economical blade-assisted LASIK option |
| Standard LASIK | From ₹40,000 | Per eye | Common myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism with adequate corneal thickness (typically ₹70,000–₹84,000) |
| Femto LASIK (bladeless) | ₹80,000 – ₹1,00,000 | Per eye | Those wanting an all-laser, blade-free flap |
| PRK / Epi-Contoura / StreamLight (surface) | ₹40,000 – ₹70,000 | Per eye | Thinner corneas, contact-sport or high-impact lifestyles |
| Contoura Vision with blade | ₹55,000 – ₹75,000 | Both eyes | Map-guided correction at an accessible entry point |
| Contoura with Femto LASIK (bladeless) | ₹95,000 – ₹1,10,000 | Both eyes | Fully bladeless, topography-guided personalisation |
| Epi-Contoura (surface PRK with laser) | ₹65,000 – ₹90,000 | Both eyes | Topography-guided correction on thinner corneas |
| SMILE (ReLEx SMILE) | From ₹1,25,000 | Per eye | Myopia with or without astigmatism; dry-eye-prone or active patients |
| ICL / Phakic IOL (lens-based) | On consultation | — | High powers, thin corneas or dry eyes where laser is not suitable |
| Ortho-K lenses (non-surgical) | On consultation | — | Overnight lens-based correction where surgery is not chosen |
Pricing basis (per eye vs both eyes) is stated as recorded in our source data and must be confirmed against the current fee schedule before you rely on any figure. Every range is starting-from and subject to an individual consultation and eye examination.
Lens-based correction such as an ICL / phakic IOL is the usual route when laser is not suitable — very high powers, thin corneas or significant dry eye — and its pricing is confirmed for your specific case at consultation, as is Ortho-K. For deeper, procedure-specific breakdowns, see our dedicated LASIK surgery cost, Contoura Vision cost and SMILE surgery cost pages.
Your surgical estimate centres on the procedure itself — the surgeon's expertise, the laser treatment and your daycare visit. A few related items are usually costed separately, so it helps to plan for them up front.
Individual diagnostic tests, where billed separately, are modest — most sit between about ₹300 and ₹1,200 each (for example slit-lamp examination, biometry, tonometry or a retinal check). At your consultation we walk you through a clear, itemised estimate covering all of this, so nothing is sprung on you later.
The most accessible starting point on our ladder is SBK LASIK, from around ₹30,000 per eye, followed by standard LASIK from ₹40,000 and surface procedures from ₹40,000 per eye. But affordable is not the same as right for you. A very economical option that does not suit your cornea, power or lifestyle is no saving at all — our surgeons will always tell you honestly which options are appropriate for your eyes and why, so your money goes toward the treatment that fits.
A candid word, surgeon to patient: the price is the least important number on this page. What actually determines whether your surgery is money well spent is suitability — whether the right procedure was chosen for your eye — and the quality of the evaluation, the surgeon and the follow-up behind it.
Across large published studies, roughly 9 in 10 LASIK patients achieve 20/20 to 20/40 uncorrected vision. Those outcomes rest on careful candidate selection — not on which centre quoted the lowest figure.

When you compare centres — and you should — compare like for like, on things you can verify:
Who performs the surgery, their qualifications and case volume, and whether you meet them beforehand.
Which diagnostics are included — corneal tomography such as Pentacam mapping is essential screening, not a luxury.
Whether the estimate is itemised in writing, with follow-up visits and medicines stated.
Whether the centre offers the full ladder of procedures, so the recommendation follows your eye rather than the one machine available.
Accreditation (such as NABH) and how post-operative care is organised.
Every estimate at Dayal Eye Centre follows a surgeon's decision, not a sales script. Their corneal expertise anchors the candidacy decisions this page's pricing depends on.
Three modular operation theatres and an in-patient ward — quality and safety you can verify.
SBK and standard LASIK, Femto LASIK, Contoura Vision, surface procedures, SMILE and ICL — so cost follows the right technique for your eyes, not the other way round.
Starting-from ranges up front, a precise written figure after your examination.
Easy EMI via Savein, plus cashless networks and government schemes for eligible conditions.
1.2 lakh+ surgeries, 20+ years of experience, and recognition including the Ayushman Bharat Awards (2021 & 2024).
All figures are starting-from ranges, subject to an individual consultation and eye examination — never a fixed quote. Easy EMI options are available; insurance cover is limited as refractive surgery is generally elective.

All prices on this page are indicative starting-from ranges (per-eye or both-eyes basis as stated in the table) and do not constitute a fixed quote. Your exact cost is confirmed only after an individual consultation and eye examination, and is subject to change; please re-verify current fees with the centre. Suitability for any refractive procedure depends on a detailed evaluation, and not every patient qualifies. All surgery carries some risk, which your surgeon will discuss with you. Individual results vary based on eye condition, prescription/power range, corneal thickness, age, overall eye health and healing response.
