Eye Surgery in Mumbai – LASIK, SMILE, ICL and Cataract, Coordinated
Quick answer
How much does cataract surgery cost in Mumbai?
Wekure Health helps people across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai plan eye surgery at NABH-accredited partner hospitals: LASIK, SMILE/SILK and ICL for vision correction, and cataract surgery for clouded lenses. We coordinate a free consultation, compare estimates, check insurance and pre-approval, arrange surgery-day pick-up and drop and organise follow-ups. Indicative planning ranges are ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 for LASIK (both eyes) and ₹20,000–₹1,50,000 per eye for cataract. Wekure is a care coordinator, not an eye hospital; surgery is performed by the partner hospital's surgeons.

ICL
A lens placed inside the eye.
For selected eyes; separate estimate and checks.
Cataract (SICS, Phaco/MICS, laser-assisted)
Cloudy natural lens replaced with an artificial lens.
Lens choice depends on retina, cornea and daily needs.

What Wekure Health does — and what the hospital does
Eye surgery involves several parties: the hospital and its surgeons, your insurer or TPA, and you and your family. Wekure Health sits in the middle. We arrange the free consultation at an NABH-accredited partner hospital, help you understand the recommendation and the estimate, handle insurance documents and pre-approval, arrange surgery-day pick-up and drop and schedule follow-ups. The hospital examines you, recommends the procedure and performs surgery; the insurer decides the claim.
This separation matters. It means our role is to make the process clear and smooth, not to push a particular technique or lens. You can ask for a second opinion or delay a decision at any point.
Planning from anywhere in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai
We help people plan from the western suburbs (Andheri, Bandra, Borivali), the central and eastern suburbs (Powai, Chembur, Ghatkopar), Thane and Navi Mumbai. These are starting areas, not Wekure branches. The partner hospital is chosen for your procedure and availability, and confirmed before booking. Free surgery-day pick-up and drop is arranged within the confirmed pathway.
Each locality page explains the questions people from that area most often ask — from screen-heavy work in Powai to corporate parental cover, diabetes planning or second-eye timing.
Vision correction or cataract? Two different conversations
LASIK, SMILE and ICL correct refractive error in otherwise healthy eyes; cover depends on policy clauses and many policies exclude them. LASIK/ICL cover depends on your policy clauses (often linked to minimum power); we review your documents and confirm before surgery.
Cataract surgery treats a clouded natural lens. Cataract is cashless with most health insurance and corporate employee plans, subject to policy terms such as waiting periods, sub-limits and room-rent conditions. Wekure checks the policy and pre-approval before admission in both cases.
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery depends on the procedure and your health; the treating team gives a personal plan. Free follow-ups form part of the coordinated pathway. Use prescribed drops, protect the eye as advised and report pain, worsening vision or marked redness promptly.

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.
Does Wekure have eye hospitals in Mumbai?
No. Wekure Health coordinates care at NABH-accredited partner hospitals. Surgery is performed by the hospital's surgeons; we handle consultation booking, estimates, insurance and transport.
Which areas do you cover?
We help people plan from across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai, including Andheri, Bandra, Powai, Borivali, Chembur and Ghatkopar. The partner hospital is confirmed for each booking.
Is the consultation really free?
The consultation at the partner hospital is free within the Wekure pathway. Some investigations or medicines may be chargeable; these are identified before you decide.
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.
Will insurance cover my LASIK?
It depends on your policy clauses, often linked to a minimum power. Wekure reviews your documents and confirms with the insurer or TPA before surgery. Many policies exclude refractive surgery, so do not assume cover.
