What is Refractive Surgery?

Refractive surgery is a group of eye procedures used to correct refractive errors—myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia—by reshaping the cornea or replacing the natural lens. The goal is to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Performed by experienced ophthalmologists, refractive eye surgeries in Indirapuram are now safer, faster, and more accessible than ever before, thanks to cutting-edge technology and precision laser techniques. Dr Veerwal is one of the best refractive surgeons in the country with years of experience and thousands of highly satisfied patients

Who is the Right Candidate for Refractive Surgery?

Not everyone is eligible for refractive surgery. A detailed pre-operative evaluation by an experienced eye specialist is essential. You may be a good candidate if:

• ✅ Age: You are 18 years or older, with a stable vision prescription for at least one year.
• ✅ Eye Health: Your eyes are free from conditions like keratoconus, severe dry eye, glaucoma, or cataracts.
• ✅ General Health: You don’t suffer from uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or other conditions that affect healing.
• ✅ Lifestyle Needs: You want freedom from glasses or contact lenses for professional, athletic, or cosmetic reasons.
• ✅ Pregnancy: You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding (hormonal changes can affect eye measurements).

To know if you are the right candidate for refractive surgery, a consult with the doctor can clear the doubt. When you visit Dr Veerwal, you will have a detailed evaluation along with a smooth experience where he will discuss all the details of different refractive surgeries with you and what you can expect from the surgery.

Types of Refractive Surgeries

When considering vision correction surgery, it's important to understand your options. Each type of refractive procedure offers specific benefits depending on your vision needs, eye structure, and lifestyle.

1. LASIK Surgery (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis)

LASIK is the most popular refractive eye surgery. A flap is created in the cornea, and an excimer laser reshapes the corneal tissue to correct vision. It can be completely blade free (Femto-LASIK/Contoura LASIK) and provide a quick visual recovery to the patient.

• 🔹 Ideal for: Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism
• 🔹 Surgical time: 10-15 min, no pain during or after surgery
• 🔹 Recovery: 1–2 days
• 🔹 Success Rate: Very high
• 🔹 LASIK surgery cost in Indirapuram: ₹35,000 (Blade LASIK) to ₹1,10,000 (FemtoContoura LASIK)

Dr Veerwal has performed more than 1500 successful LASIK Surgeries.

2. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

PRK is a surface-based procedure where the corneal epithelium is removed, and a laser reshapes the cornea underneath. There is no flap, no cut given in PRK. Removal of epithelium can be done with a spatula (PRK) or with laser itself (no touch surgery- Epicontoura)

• 🔹 Ideal for: Thin corneas, active lifestyles (athletes)
• 🔹 Surgical time: 10 min
• 🔹 Recovery: 5–7 days
• 🔹 More discomfort in initial post-op period for 3 days
• 🔹 PRK cost in Indirapuram: ₹35,000 (PRK) to ₹85,000 (TransPRK)

Dr Veerwal has performed more than 500 successful PRK surgeries

3. SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)/ SILK (Smooth Incision LenticuleKeratomilieusis)/ CLEAR

SMILE eye surgery is a minimally invasive laser treatment where a tiny disc-shaped lenticule is removed via a small incision. No flap is made and it is completely bladeless.

• 🔹 Ideal for: Myopia and astigmatism
• 🔹 Surgical time: 15 min, Bladeless, Painless
• 🔹 Recovery: 3 days for complete recovery
• 🔹 Less dry eye symptoms
• 🔹 Faster healing than PRK
• 🔹 SMILE/SILK/ CLEAR surgery cost in Indirapuram: ₹1,15,000 to ₹1,30,000

Dr Veerwal has performed more than 500 successful lenticule based surgeries. He has also given a new technique for lenticule dissection in SMILE surgery.

4. ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) 🔍

ICL surgery involves implanting a biocompatible lens between the iris and natural lens without removing any corneal tissue. It's reversible, making it an excellent option for patients who are not eligible for LASIK or PRK due to thin corneas or very high refractive errors.

• 🔹 Ideal for: High myopia (typically -6D to -20D), thin corneas, dry eye sufferers
• 🔹 Reversible: The lens can be removed or replaced if needed
• 🔹 UV Protection: Built-in UV filter
• 🔹 Preserves corneal integrity: No reshaping or cutting of the cornea
• 🔹 Recovery: 1–2 days for basic functioning, full clarity within 1 week

💸 ICL cost in Indirapuram: ₹70,000 to ₹90,000 per eye (based on lens type- Toric/Non-toric and brand such as STAAR Visian ICL or Care group IPCL).

Why Consider ICL Over LASIK?

• ✅ You have a very high power (e.g., -10.00 or more).
• ✅ Your cornea is too thin for LASIK or PRK.
• ✅ You want a reversible, tissue-preserving option.
• ✅ You suffer from dry eyes or other corneal irregularities.

ICL is quickly becoming the preferred choice for patients with extreme myopia or unique eye conditions. Consult with a senior ophthalmologist to determine if it's the best fit for your visual needs.

Dr has significant experience in performing ICL surgeries over the last 10 years.

5. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)

RLE, also known as clear lens extraction, involves replacing the natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). It is usually reserved for patients not suitable for laser vision correction or ICL surgery. It is also suitable for patients in their 40s when they want removal of both distance and near vision glasses.

• 🔹 Ideal for: Presbyopia, high hyperopia, patients over 40
• 🔹 Similar to cataract surgery but with a Multifocal IOL
• 🔹 Permanent solution for aging eyes
• 🔹 RLE cost in Indirapuram: ₹70,000 to ₹1,50,000 per eye (depends on the IOL chosen)
