Insurance eligibility review
Cataract: cashless with most health insurance and corporate employee plans, subject to policy terms, sub-limits and insurer approval. Premium lens upgrades and other non-payable items may leave a patient contribution. LASIK and ICL can be covered by health insurance depending on your policy's clauses. Wekure Health reviews your insurance documents and clauses and confirms cashless eligibility before surgery. Coverage, limits and any patient contribution require insurer confirmation; cashless is not guaranteed. Eligibility is reviewed at participating centres in Kerala, Delhi and Mumbai. Zero-cost EMI is subject to lender approval.

About Cataract care
A cataract is clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which can cause blurred vision, glare and difficulty with daily activities. Surgery removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens (IOL), commonly using phacoemulsification. Monofocal, toric and other lens options have different benefits and trade-offs; the right choice depends on eye health and everyday visual needs.
An individual decision
Could it be right for you?
- An assessment is useful when cloudy vision or glare affects reading, driving or other daily activities.
- The clinician checks whether cataract, rather than a retinal or other eye condition, explains the symptoms.
- Diabetes, glaucoma and retinal disease can affect the treatment plan and the vision achievable after surgery.
What an assessment may include
- Dilated eye examination and assessment of the retina
- Biometry to calculate lens power and review astigmatism
- Medical history, current medicines and lens-choice discussion
Tests are selected by the clinician. Information on this page is general guidance, not a diagnosis or a recommendation for surgery.
Important to know
Surgery has risks including infection, inflammation and retinal complications. Some people still need glasses. If both eyes need surgery, their timing is decided individually; do not assume both can be completed during a short visit.
A care journey, not a recovery promise

Complete examination and lens measurements. The surgeon confirms whether surgery is appropriate and explains lens options and their costs.
Protect & review
Follow the prescribed drop and eye-protection plan. Attend postoperative checks and agree travel readiness and future reviews with the treating team.
A Personalised care is a planning framework, not a guaranteed treatment or recovery period. Your clinician decides treatment timing, follow-up and fitness to fly; a longer stay may be needed.
