Quick answer
ICL — an implantable lens placed inside the eye — may be considered for selected prescriptions or corneas unsuitable for laser reshaping. Wekure Health helps Mumbai patients find out whether ICL is appropriate at an NABH-accredited partner hospital, understand the separate estimate and check insurance. ICL is not included in the LASIK range and needs its own measurements and counselling. LASIK/ICL cover depends on your policy clauses (often linked to minimum power); we review your documents and confirm before surgery.
Understand the estimate
Use these indicative both-eye estimates as a starting point for a conversation—not as tariffs or insurer payment promises. Your clinical assessment and written estimate matter.
| Cost factor | Indicative estimate · both eyes | What can change the estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Technique and clinical planning | ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 for both eyes | Indicative LASIK planning range, not a fixed package or an ICL quote. |
| Corneal mapping and measurements | Confirm package inclusions | Ask which tests are included and which are separately chargeable. |
| Hospital, equipment and aftercare | Individual written estimate | Compare the same technique, medicines and review arrangements. |
| ICL when laser is unsuitable | Separate estimate | Lens selection and intraocular planning are not automatically included in the LASIK range. |
Indicative LASIK range: ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 for both eyes. Technique, suitability, testing and inclusions affect the estimate. ICL needs a separate quote. Insurance is confirmed only after document and clause review.
| Technique | Approach | What to discuss |
|---|---|---|
| PRK / surface treatment | The surface layer is managed before laser reshaping. | No flap; surface comfort and healing need a personal plan. |
| Femto / topography-guided LASIK | A flap and laser reshaping correct suitable prescriptions. | Corneal measurements, dryness and visual demands guide selection. |
| SMILE / SILK | Lenticule-based correction through a small incision. | Different platforms and eligibility; not interchangeable promises. |
| ICL alternative | An implantable lens is placed inside the eye. | Considered for selected eyes; separate suitability checks and estimate. |
Thoughtful care, clearly explained
ICL (implantable contact lens) surgery in Mumbai: who it suits, how it differs from LASIK, what the separate estimate covers and insurance checks.
ICL may be discussed when a prescription is high, the cornea is thin or irregular, or dryness makes laser reshaping less suitable. It requires internal eye measurements, including the space inside the eye where the lens sits. A high prescription alone does not guarantee eligibility.
The surgeon explains benefits, limitations and alternatives — including continuing with glasses or contact lenses.
LASIK and SMILE reshape the cornea; ICL adds a lens inside the eye without removing corneal tissue. ICL is an intraocular procedure with its own considerations and follow-up needs. Ask how each option suits your measurements, and what the follow-up plan looks like over the long term.
Recovery depends on the procedure and your health; your treating team gives a personal plan.
ICL has a separate estimate covering lens, measurements, surgery, medicines and reviews; it is not part of the LASIK range. Ask for each item in writing. LASIK/ICL cover depends on your policy clauses (often linked to minimum power); we review your documents and confirm before surgery.
Zero-cost EMI is available to eligible applicants, subject to lender approval and disclosed conditions.
The partner hospital is chosen for ICL capability and availability and confirmed before booking. Wekure arranges free surgery-day pick-up and drop within the confirmed pathway and coordinates follow-ups.
