Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about refractive surgery at ICARE.

Am I suitable for SILK / LASIK / ICL?
Suitability depends on your corneal thickness, power, pupil size, tear film quality and overall eye health. A comprehensive pre-laser evaluation including corneal topography is required to determine the safest and most effective procedure for you.
Is vision correction surgery painful?
No. Anaesthetic eye drops make the procedure completely painless. You may feel mild pressure for a few seconds. Most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable it is.
How long does the procedure take?
The laser treatment takes under 10 minutes per eye. Plan 2–3 hours at the hospital on surgery day, including preparation, procedure and recovery observation.
What is the difference between SILK and LASIK?
LASIK creates a corneal flap; SILK is flapless — a small lenticule is extracted through a tiny incision. SILK has lower dry-eye risk, greater biomechanical stability, and no flap complications — ideal for active lifestyles.
Will my number come back after surgery?
Laser surgery permanently reshapes the cornea based on your current prescription. The vast majority remain spectacle-free long-term. Age-related changes (presbyopia after 40) are natural and separate from refractive surgery.
What is the cost of SILK / Contoura / ICL at ICARE?
Costs vary based on your prescription and recommended procedure. Please WhatsApp +91 99104 30391 or visit the hospital for a detailed, transparent breakdown. No hidden charges.
