Minimal dry eye, fastest healing, best for active patients and sportspersons. Cost: ₹80,000–1,00,000.

Q: How much does LASIK surgery cost in Chandigarh vs Bathinda?
Standard LASIK in Chandigarh costs ₹50,000–80,000 vs ₹20,000–35,000 at Brar Eye Hospital Bathinda. SMILE Pro in Chandigarh costs ₹1,10,000–1,50,000 vs ₹80,000–1,00,000 at Brar. Patients from across Punjab save ₹30,000–60,000 by choosing Brar Eye Hospital Bathinda over Chandigarh, with identical surgical quality.
Q: Is LASIK surgery covered by insurance in India?
In India, LASIK surgery is generally considered a cosmetic/elective procedure and is NOT covered by standard health insurance policies. However, some corporate group health insurance plans may have partial reimbursement. Brar Eye Hospital provides all necessary documentation to help patients file any eligible claims. EMI options starting ₹2,000/month are available to make the cost manageable.
Q: What is the LASIK surgery cost for both eyes in India in 2025?
In India in 2025: Standard LASIK costs ₹20,000–80,000 for both eyes depending on location and hospital. Tier-1 cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh): ₹50,000–2,00,000. Tier-2 cities (Bathinda, Ludhiana): ₹20,000–1,00,000. All prices are for both eyes unless stated otherwise. Brar Eye Hospital Bathinda offers the most affordable LASIK in Punjab with the same advanced technology as tier-1 hospitals.
Q: Can I get LASIK surgery in one day — including evaluation?
At Brar Eye Hospital Bathinda, patients typically have their pre-LASIK evaluation first (1–2 hours), and if suitable, the surgery is performed on the same day or a pre-arranged future date. Patients from Kotkapura, Muktsar, Faridkot and nearby cities often complete both the evaluation and surgery in a single visit to Bathinda. The surgery itself takes 10–15 minutes per eye.
Q: What are the risks of LASIK surgery?
LASIK is one of the safest surgical procedures worldwide. Serious complications are rare (<1%). Common temporary side effects include dry eyes (usually resolves in 3–6 months), halos/glare around lights (usually resolves in 1–3 months), and mild discomfort for 24–48 hours. The risk of significant vision loss from LASIK is estimated at less than 1 in 10,000 — far lower than the long-term risks of wearing contact lenses. A thorough pre-LASIK evaluation at Brar Eye Hospital screens out unsuitable candidates, making the procedure safer.
Q: How long does LASIK surgery last? Is it permanent?
LASIK is a permanent procedure. The corneal reshaping done during LASIK does not reverse or change with time. The vast majority of patients maintain good unaided vision for life. However, everyone naturally develops presbyopia (need for reading glasses) after age 40–45, which is unrelated to LASIK and cannot be prevented by LASIK. Some patients with very high powers may experience slight regression and may need an enhancement procedure.
Q: What is the LASIK surgery success rate at Brar Eye Hospital Bathinda?
Brar Eye Hospital Bathinda has a 99.2% patient satisfaction rate. Over 95% of patients achieve 6/6 (20/20) or better unaided vision after LASIK. The hospital has performed over 10,000 LASIK surgeries since 2003 with no significant complication record. Being the first LASIK centre in the Malwa region, Brar Eye Hospital has the highest volume and experience for LASIK surgery in all of South Punjab.
Q: Which LASIK is best: SMILE Pro or Contoura Vision?
Both are excellent advanced procedures but suit different patients. SMILE Pro is best for: sportspersons, active lifestyle, those prone to dry eyes, anyone wanting the most advanced flapless procedure. Cost: ₹80,000–1,00,000 at Brar. Contoura Vision is best for: patients with irregular corneal surface, those wanting the best possible night vision quality, or those with higher-order aberrations. Cost: ₹55,000–75,000 at Brar. Your surgeon will recommend the right option after corneal mapping during the free evaluation.
