Specialty overview

Ophthalmology

Complete eye care — from LASIK and cataracts to retinal surgery and pediatric ophthalmology.

vaccines10 treatmentslocal_hospital25 partner hospitalsstethoscope2 specialists

Sight is one of the most precious senses we have — and even small visual problems can change daily life completely. International patients now travel to leading eye hospitals across our partner network for complete ophthalmic care, from refractive correction to complex retinal surgery. Every eye condition is covered: cataract surgery with premium lens implants, LASIK and refractive procedures, retinal detachment repair, corneal transplantation, glaucoma management, and pediatric eye care. Most procedures are completed within a short trip, with diagnostic-to-treatment timelines often measured in days rather than months.

Every patient is supported by a dedicated coordinator who handles everything from initial consultation and second opinion to travel, treatment and follow-up care.

Ophthalmology

Cataract Surgery

Phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation — the world's most performed eye surgery — restores clear vision clouded by lens opacity. Leading centres abroad offer premium multifocal and toric IOLs at a fraction of Western costs, reducing dependence on glasses after surgery.

$LASIK & Refractive Surgery$

Ophthalmology

LASIK & Refractive Surgery

Laser vision correction permanently reshapes the cornea to eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses in patients with myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Accredited centres in India, Turkey, and Thailand offer LASIK, SMILE, and advanced surface ablation using the same FDA-cleared laser platforms as Western clinics at 50–70% lower cost.

Retinal Surgery

Vitreoretinal surgery addresses sight-threatening conditions at the back of the eye including retinal detachment, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and severe diabetic eye disease. India, Israel, and Thailand host internationally trained vitreoretinal specialists offering timely, high-quality intervention at significantly reduced cost.

Ophthalmology

Corneal Transplant (Ophthalmic)

Corneal transplantation replaces diseased or damaged corneal tissue to restore clarity and vision in conditions like keratoconus, corneal scarring, and endothelial failure. Selective lamellar techniques (DALK, DSEK, DMEK) preserve healthy tissue and offer faster recovery than full-thickness grafts.

Ophthalmology

Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL)

Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a treatment to halt the progression of keratoconus and other corneal ectasias by strengthening the corneal collagen fibres using riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops and UV-A light. Unlike corneal transplantation, CXL does not replace or reshape the cornea — it stabilises it, aiming to stop further weakening and preserve remaining vision.

Ophthalmology

Glaucoma Surgery

Surgical management of glaucoma lowers intraocular pressure to halt progressive optic nerve damage and prevent permanent vision loss. From gold-standard trabeculectomy to the latest minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), international centres offer comprehensive glaucoma care for patients whose disease is not controlled by drops alone.

Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of preventable blindness in working-age adults worldwide — early, expert intervention with anti-VEGF injections, retinal laser, and vitrectomy can halt progression and restore vision. International ophthalmology centres offer timely, affordable treatment for patients who face long waits or high costs at home.

Pediatric Ophthalmology & Squint Correction

Specialist paediatric eye care diagnoses and treats childhood vision conditions — strabismus (squint), amblyopia (lazy eye), congenital cataracts, and childhood glaucoma — during the critical developmental window when intervention is most effective. International paediatric ophthalmologists deliver surgical and non-surgical care for children whose conditions are undertreated in their home country.

Ophthalmology

Glaucoma MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery)

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) lowers intraocular pressure through tiny, ab-interno incisions that spare the conjunctiva, for patients with mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma. MIGS is frequently combined with cataract surgery in a single sitting and carries a substantially lower complication profile than traditional trabeculectomy, trading some of that older technique's pressure-lowering power for a much faster, gentler recovery.

Ophthalmology

DMEK / DSAEK (Endothelial Keratoplasty)

DMEK and DSAEK are selective corneal transplant techniques that replace only the diseased innermost endothelial cell layer of the cornea, leaving the healthy outer layers untouched. They treat corneal endothelial failure — most commonly from Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, bullous keratopathy, or a failed prior corneal graft — and offer faster visual recovery and lower rejection risk than full-thickness corneal transplantation.
