Financial worry should never decide whether you see clearly. We offer Easy EMI through our partner Savein (plus select NBFC and debit-card EMI options; a nominal processing fee may apply), and hassle-free cashless approvals with partnered insurers where your policy permits. Your costing is itemised and explained before surgery — no surprises after it.

Flapless ReLEx SMILE is performed on the ZEISS VisuMax femtosecond laser, which creates and removes a tiny lenticule through a 2–4 mm keyhole. Your cornea is mapped in fine detail on the OCULUS Pentacam before your treatment is designed — the measurement every SMILE quote begins with.

All prices are starting-from ranges, subject to an individual consultation and eye examination, and may be revised — they are not a fixed quote. SMILE requires an eligibility check, and not all patients are suitable candidates for every procedure. All surgical and laser procedures carry inherent risks, 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.
