Which Eye Surgeon Should Be Consulted for SMILE Eye Surgery in Kolkata?

Dear Dheeraj Goyal ji,

Yes, several eye specialists in Kolkata provide consultation for vision correction procedures. For SMILE eye surgery, you should consult an ophthalmologist who performs refractive surgery and confirm that the hospital or eye centre currently offers the SMILE procedure. SMILE is a laser procedure used to correct certain vision problems, including short-sightedness.

Below are hospitals and eye centres to contact, along with doctors whose profiles list eye surgery or refractive surgery experience. Please note that experience with LASIK does not automatically mean a doctor performs SMILE. Confirm the doctor's current SMILE experience and availability before booking.

• Suitability: SMILE is not suitable for everyone. The doctor should explain if another procedure or glasses or contact lenses would be a better option.
• Surgeon's experience: Ask how much experience the surgeon has specifically with SMILE, not only LASIK.
• Cost and follow-up: Ask for the total cost, what the package includes, and how many follow-up visits are needed.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
