Hello,

DNS LASIK surgery, commonly known as LASIK, is a laser eye surgery used to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea.

Many patients who wear glasses or contact lenses want to know whether LASIK surgery can be done free of cost using an Ayushman Bharat PMJAY card.

Can I Do LASIK Surgery Free with an Ayushman Card in Latur?

Unfortunately, LASIK surgery is generally not covered under Ayushman Bharat PMJAY because it is considered an elective vision-correction procedure rather than a medically necessary treatment. PMJAY typically covers essential eye surgeries such as cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, corneal transplant, and certain retinal procedures, but not LASIK performed to remove glasses or contact lenses.
