Your surgery is performed by experienced eye surgeons at our NABH-accredited partner hospitals. Wekure Health manages your consultation, insurance, hospital booking and follow-up care.
Wekure Gulf is the international-patient pathway within Wekure Health. This guide helps patients planning from Oman or elsewhere in the Gulf ask the right questions about an assessment in Kerala. It does not identify a hospital in every Kerala city, guarantee a particular technique or turn a virtual enquiry into a confirmed surgical booking.
What can a virtual consultation clarify before travel?
Discuss your goals, current glasses or contact lenses, existing eye records and practical travel constraints. The clinical team can explain what information may help prepare the assessment, while the care guide coordinates documents and appointments. Share reports through the agreed private channel rather than a public social post.
A remote conversation cannot replace every required physical eye examination or test. The treating eye surgeon decides suitability after the necessary assessment. Avoid buying inflexible flights on the assumption that your prescription alone confirms eligibility, a procedure date or the time at which you can safely return abroad.
How are LASIK, SMILE and ICL options discussed?
LASIK reshapes a suitable cornea to reduce glasses dependence. The assessment may also involve discussion of other refractive approaches or an ICL alternative. The examined eye, measurements and professional advice guide that choice; a technique name is not a promise that it is appropriate for you.
Ask the surgeon about the recommendation, alternatives, visual expectations, preparation and follow-up. ICL requires its own assessment and written estimate, and is not automatically included in a LASIK package. Do not choose a treatment solely because it appears to fit a limited leave period or an insurance assumption.
What costs and insurance questions should I check?
The indicative LASIK planning range is ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 for both eyes, depending on technique, findings and inclusions. Request the written estimate for the actual proposed treatment. Flights, accommodation and every transfer should not be assumed to form part of that treatment reference.
LASIK/ICL cover depends on your policy clauses, often linked to minimum power; Wekure reviews your documents and confirms eligibility before surgery. Cataract is cashless with most health and corporate plans, subject to policy terms, room-rent conditions, sub-limits, waiting periods and insurer approval.
An Oman or other international policy also needs review of treatment-location and claims conditions. Ask what is authorised, what documents are outstanding and what may remain payable. No-cost EMI is subject to lender approval and disclosed conditions; do not assume eligibility because you have made an enquiry from abroad.

What does the Personalised care mean?
It is an illustrative itinerary for organising arrival and assessment, tests and discussion, possible surgery if cleared, an initial review and a departure conversation. It is not a promised treatment timetable. The steps can overlap, move or extend when clinical findings, availability or the insurer process requires a different sequence.
There is no promise of surgery or full recovery within the itinerary. The eye team decides the follow-up and travel requirements. Keep flexibility for additional assessment or a longer stay if advised, and ask what happens if you are not suitable for the treatment initially discussed.

What travel support does Wekure coordinate?
The care team helps plan the clinical appointment and practical arrangements. Surgery-day pick-up and drop is coordinated within the agreed pathway; confirm the collection point, companion requirements and included journeys. Ask separately about accommodation, flights and other travel costs rather than assuming an all-inclusive holiday package.
Kerala is the requested planning region, not a list of confirmed centres. Your partner hospital and appointment are confirmed individually. The Gurugram registered-office address is not a Kerala treatment address. Travel booking and clinical clearance are separate, and a cab or return ticket is not permission to travel after surgery.
How do I plan work, reviews and the return journey?
Recovery time depends on the procedure and your health; the treating team gives a personal plan. Ask about work, screens, driving, activity, medicines and eye protection individually. Do not treat a five-day leave period as a return-to-work guarantee or assume that someone else's review schedule applies to you.
Free follow-ups are part of the agreed pathway, with scope and any separately charged tests or medicines clarified before treatment. Ask how required reviews will be arranged before departure and after returning abroad. The care team works Mon–Fri, 10 AM–8 PM with callbacks after hours; urgent concerns require appropriate clinical help.
Clear answers
Questions families ask
Does a virtual consultation confirm LASIK eligibility?
No. It helps prepare the enquiry and records. The eye surgeon confirms suitability after the required examination and measurements; a prescription or online conversation alone is not surgical clearance.
Is LASIK cashless under an Oman policy?
Cover depends on the actual policy clauses, often linked to minimum power, and any international treatment conditions. Wekure reviews the documents before confirming eligibility. Full cashless payment is not guaranteed.
Is the LASIK range for both eyes?
The indicative planning range is ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 for both eyes, depending on technique and inclusions. It is not an individual quote. ICL requires a separate assessment and estimate.
Can I rely on returning to Oman within five days?
No. The Personalised care is an illustrative visit framework, not a recovery or flight-clearance promise. The treating team advises on travel and may recommend a different or longer arrangement.
Where in Kerala will I have treatment?
The partner hospital and actual appointment are confirmed individually after discussing the enquiry. The page does not assert a centre in every Kerala city or a Wekure-owned eye hospital.
How do I request a callback from the Gulf?
Use the enquiry form with your country code, or call or WhatsApp +91 95602 10161. Care coordination is available Mon–Fri, 10 AM–8 PM, with callbacks after hours. Urgent clinical concerns should not wait for this administrative process.

For information only; final advice comes from your eye surgeon after examination. Treatment, insurance, transport and travel clearance are confirmed individually.
