Indicative estimate · per eye
What can change the estimate
SICS + standard monofocal lens
₹20,000–₹40,000
Often toward the lower end; clinical suitability comes first.
Phaco / MICS + monofocal lens
₹30,000–₹65,000
Technique, measurements, lens model and package inclusions affect cost.
Phaco / MICS + toric lens
₹45,000–₹90,000
For suitable patients with corneal astigmatism; lens selection is individual.
Multifocal / trifocal / EDOF lens packages
₹65,000–₹1,50,000
Premium lenses may reduce glasses dependence but are not right for every eye.
Laser / robotic-assisted cataract packages
₹75,000–₹1,50,000
Usually toward the upper end, depending on lens and equipment; not automatically better.
Indicative range across options: ₹20,000–₹1,50,000 per eye. Costs depend on lens choice and technique, as well as clinical suitability and package inclusions. Ask for a written estimate; figures are not tariffs or promised insurer payments.

What to discuss
SICS
The cloudy lens is removed through a small incision.
An established option for selected eyes, including some dense cataracts.
Phaco / MICS
Ultrasound-assisted removal with an artificial lens implant.
Incision approach and lens selection depend on examination.
Laser / robotic-assisted
Laser assistance may be used for particular surgical steps.
Not autonomous surgery; ask what clinical benefit justifies the package.
Thoughtful care, clearly explained
What to know before you decide
Cataract surgery planning from Vashi, Nerul, Kharghar and Belapur: lenses, ₹20,000–₹1,50,000 per eye, cashless checks and transport. Free consultation.
Retirees and parents living away from children
Many Navi Mumbai residents are retirees, or parents whose children live in another city or abroad. Wekure can share updates with a family member you nominate, coordinate appointments and explain the estimate and insurance position by phone or WhatsApp. The patient remains at the centre of every decision.
Bring all medicine lists and previous eye reports. If the patient lives alone, plan who will help with drops and meals for the first days after each eye.
Planning across Navi Mumbai and the harbour
The partner hospital may be within Navi Mumbai or across the harbour depending on the lens, technique and availability. Wekure confirms it in advance and arranges free surgery-day pick-up and drop within the confirmed pathway.
Plan both eyes and the review visits together, so transport and support are arranged once rather than at short notice each time.
Start with a free consultation
Discuss symptoms, daily tasks and suitability at an NABH-accredited partner hospital; clarify any separately chargeable tests.
Review the estimate and policy
Compare the proposed technique, inclusions, insurance documents and any self-pay balance before agreeing to treatment.
Confirm the hospital and preparation
Receive the selected hospital details and treating team's instructions. Confirm free surgery-day pick-up and drop arrangements.
Have treatment and a supported discharge
The hospital provides surgery and discharge advice. Wekure coordinates booking, transport and care communication.
Attend free follow-ups
Use prescribed medicines and attend arranged reviews. Return to work, travel and driving only with personal clinical guidance.
Understand a cataract estimate before you travel from Navi Mumbai
Use ₹20,000–₹1,50,000 per eye as an indicative planning range. Standard monofocal combinations usually sit toward the lower end; toric, multifocal, trifocal, EDOF or laser-assisted packages may move it upwards. The figure depends on technique, lens and inclusions rather than on whether you start from Navi Mumbai or elsewhere. Ask for an individual written estimate that names the technique, lens model, measurements, medicines and follow-up arrangements.
A quote for one eye is not a quote for both. Keep any lens upgrade separate from the clinically recommended baseline, especially where your insurer has a cataract limit. Wekure Health helps you understand the expected patient balance; the treating hospital provides the clinical estimate and the insurer decides the claim.
Confirm cashless approval before admission
Cataract is cashless with most health insurance and corporate employee plans, subject to policy terms — waiting periods, room-rent linkage, disease-specific sub-limits, co-payments, network rules and lens exclusions can all affect what is paid. A dependent parent on an employee's corporate policy may have different benefits from the employee. Wekure Health supports document collection, pre-approval and paperwork with leading insurers and TPAs; ask for the written approval and exclusions before treating an e-card as confirmation.
If a balance remains, zero-cost EMI is available to eligible applicants, subject to lender approval and disclosed conditions. You remain free to discuss a suitable lower-cost lens or technique. Insurance and finance should support the clinical recommendation, not replace it.
Straight answers
Questions families often ask
Take your time with the details. A care coordinator can help you understand what to ask at your consultation.
My children live abroad. Can they be kept updated?
Yes, with the patient's consent. Wekure can share appointment and insurance updates with a nominated family member.
Is there a Wekure centre in Vashi or Kharghar?
No. Navi Mumbai is a starting area we help families plan from — not a Wekure centre or hospital branch.
Who helps with drops if my parent lives alone?
Plan a family member, neighbour or carer for the first days after each eye. Ask the hospital to explain the drop schedule to them.
What is the indicative cataract surgery cost?
₹20,000–₹1,50,000 per eye, depending on technique, lens, clinical needs and inclusions. Ask for a written individual estimate; the range is not a two-eye quote or an insurer approval.
Is cataract surgery cashless?
Cataract is cashless with most health insurance and corporate plans, subject to policy terms. Waiting periods, sub-limits, room-rent conditions and co-payments can still leave a balance, so Wekure checks the policy and pre-approval first.
When can my parent return to normal routine?
There is no universal deadline. The treating team advises on reading, cooking, bathing, travel and driving after examining the eye. Follow the drop plan and attend the reviews.
