Remove your specs permanently. Find the right procedure for your eyes.

It depends on your prescription, corneal thickness, and lifestyle. LASIK and Contoura Vision suit most people with mild to moderate myopia and normal corneas. SMILE is preferred for dry eye-prone patients or active sportspeople. ICL is best for high myopia (above -8D) or thin corneas. A free pre-operative evaluation at Eye Veda will confirm your best option.

Yes. The corneal reshaping from LASIK, SMILE and Contoura Vision is permanent. An ICL lens, once implanted, remains in place indefinitely and can technically be removed if needed. Most patients achieve stable vision for decades. A small percentage may need a minor enhancement as their prescription matures.

You must be at least 18 years old, and your prescription should be stable for at least 1 - 2 years. For ICL, the upper age is generally 45 (before significant lens yellowing). Patients over 40 are counselled about the effect of presbyopia (reading vision changes) even after successful distance correction.

At Eye Veda, specs removal surgery starts from approximately ₹25,000 - ₹35,000 per eye for standard blade-free LASIK. Contoura Vision and SMILE range from ₹45,000 - ₹65,000 per eye. ICL surgery typically ranges from ₹85,000 - ₹1,10,000 per eye. All costs include pre-operative evaluation, the procedure, and follow-up visits.

Most desk-job patients return to work within 1 - 2 days of LASIK or Contoura Vision. SMILE patients often feel comfortable within 2 - 3 days. ICL patients typically resume normal activities in 3 - 5 days. Driving is usually cleared at the 1-week follow-up after vision stabilises.

No. All procedures are performed under anaesthetic eye drops. You may feel mild pressure during LASIK flap creation, but no pain. Post-operatively, there may be mild irritation or watering for a few hours, which resolves with prescribed drops. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is.
