My mother has cataract in her left eye. Where can I get the surgery done under PMJAY?

Hello Anil Ji,

Thank you for your query. If you wish to get an eye check-up using your ABHA card (Ayushman Bharat Health Account), it's important to understand how the ABHA card works and whether the service is covered under any health scheme.

Does ABHA Card Alone Cover Eye Check-ups?

• The ABHA card is a digital health ID that securely stores your health records—it is not a health insurance card by itself.

• To get free or subsidised treatment, your ABHA card must be linked to a health scheme like:

  • Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY (for eligible families)

  • State-specific health schemes (e.g., Telangana Aarogyasri)

How to Check if You’re Eligible for a Free Eye Check-up?

1. Visit an empanelled hospital or eye clinic under Ayushman Bharat or Aarogyasri

2. Share your ABHA card and Aadhaar number at the hospital’s help desk

3. They will check your eligibility in the scheme's database

4. If covered, you can get free consultation, diagnosis, and even treatment (like cataract surgery, retinal exams, etc.)
