Dear Nitin Sen ji,
It is completely natural to want clarity on costs before a hospital visit, especially for something as important as your eyes. Dr Agarwal's Eye Hospital is one of India's most trusted names in ophthalmology, with over six decades of experience, 100+ hospitals across 11 countries, and 700+ dedicated eye care professionals. Their Kolkata branches at Kasba (Rajdanga), Pancha Sayar (Peerless Hospital), and Salt Lake City are verified by HexaHealth and well-equipped for everything from routine eye check-ups to advanced eye procedures.
Consultation fees may vary depending on the doctor's seniority, branch location, and whether additional diagnostic tests are required during the visit. To confirm the latest OPD consultation charges for your preferred branch, we recommend contacting the hospital directly or speaking with HexaHealth's care coordinators at 8035240555.
Based on current HexaHealth platform data, here are the indicative cost ranges for common eye procedures :
Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification) : ₹25,000 – ₹1,10,000 per eye
Laser Cataract Surgery : ₹42,000 – ₹1,50,000 per eye
LASIK / Refractive Surgery : ₹15,000 – ₹50,000 per eye (standard to advanced Contoura/SMILE procedures)
Diagnostic Procedures (OCT, Corneal Topography, etc.) : Charged separately based on the tests advised by the doctor
Several factors can influence the overall treatment cost, including :
Type of procedure being performed
Choice of intraocular lens (IOL) in cataract surgery
Doctor's experience and subspecialization
Branch location and diagnostic requirements
Insurance coverage and applicable policy terms
Most cataract surgeries are covered under standard health insurance policies, subject to policy terms, waiting periods, and sub-limits. LASIK surgery is generally considered an elective procedure and is usually not covered, except in select medical cases involving high refractive errors.
Cashless treatment facilities may be available for patients covered under major health insurance providers. It is advisable to verify coverage details with your insurer or TPA before scheduling treatment.
