Which hospitals offer cataract surgery under Ayushman Yojana?

Hello,

It's completely understandable that you want to know about hospitals that may provide cataract surgery under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme. Cataract is a common eye condition in which the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision and difficulty performing daily activities. Timely treatment can help restore clear vision and improve quality of life.

Yes, if :

• The patient is eligible under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY

• The hospital is PM-JAY empanelled

• The cataract surgery is medically necessary

• The required PM-JAY package approval is obtained

Then the cataract surgery may be performed on a cashless basis under the approved package.
