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.

Understand your options
About ICL implant
An implantable collamer lens (ICL) is placed inside the eye while retaining the natural lens. It can be an option for selected people with high prescriptions or corneas unsuitable for laser correction. It requires careful sizing and assessment of the space and health inside the eye. Although a lens can sometimes be removed or exchanged, doing so is another operation and is not risk-free.
An individual decision
Could it be right for you?
- May be considered for suitable adults with stable prescriptions who are not good candidates for corneal laser correction.
- Adequate anterior chamber depth and healthy corneal endothelial cells are essential.
- Glaucoma, cataract or other eye conditions may rule out an implant or require a different plan.
What an assessment may include
- Anterior chamber measurements and lens sizing
- Endothelial cell assessment and complete eye examination
- Eye-pressure, retinal and prescription evaluation
Tests are selected by the clinician. Information on this page is general guidance, not a diagnosis or a recommendation for surgery.
Important to know
Risks include raised eye pressure, cataract, infection and endothelial cell loss. Long-term reviews are important. Lens availability and preparation can require extra planning time before treatment.
A care journey, not a recovery promise
Before, during & after your visit.
Care planning that includes your familyMeasure & decide
Complete the eye measurements and discuss benefits, risks and alternatives. Confirm the lens, procedure costs and any insurance decision.
Review pressure & lens
Attend the early postoperative checks and arrange ongoing eye-pressure and lens reviews. Only fly when the treating clinician says it is safe.
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.
