LASIK cost in Kolkata: why quotes differ so much
LASIK prices in Kolkata range widely, and the cheapest advertised number is rarely what people end up paying. The difference comes from the technology used, what's included, and whether you're suitable for the cheaper option at all.

What changes the price
| Option | Relative cost |
|---|---|
| Microkeratome LASIK | Lowest. Flap cut with a blade. |
| Femto-LASIK | Higher. Flap made with a laser. |
| Topography-guided (e.g. Contoura) | Higher. Treatment mapped to your cornea. |
| SMILE | Higher. Flapless keyhole procedure. |
| ICL | Highest. Includes the cost of the lens implant. |
Your assessment decides which of these are safe for you. If your cornea is thin, the cheapest option may not be on the table.
What should be included
- The full pre-LASIK assessment, including corneal topography and thickness
- Both eyes, surgeon's fees and laser charges
- Post-operative drops and shields
- Follow-ups for at least three months
- Whether an enhancement, if needed, is included
Insurance
Most health insurance treats LASIK as cosmetic and doesn't pay. Some policies cover it above a certain power (often around ±7 D). Check your policy wording.
