Ophthalmology

Decisions about your eyes carry real weight, and treatment advice for the same condition can vary between centers. We arrange remote reviews of your eye reports with ophthalmologists in our network, and coordinate cataract, retina, cornea and glaucoma treatment in India when you choose to proceed.

We take no commissions from hospitals. Our fees are paid by you, published upfront, and itemized separately from your hospital bill. Full details on the Fees page.

How a written second opinion works here

Most cases start here: a structured review of your records before anyone talks about travel. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that treatment close to home makes the most sense, and the opinion will say so.

  1. 1

    Share your records securely

    After we connect, we send you a secure link for your reports, imaging and prescriptions. Nothing sensitive goes through the website form. Your most recent documents are usually enough to start; we will ask for older ones only if the specialist needs them.

  2. 2

    An independent specialist reviews your case

    A doctor from our network who works in this field, not a call-center agent, reads your file against the treatment you have been advised. Where the records are incomplete, you are told exactly which test or report is missing before any conclusion is drawn.

  3. 3

    You receive a written opinion to keep and share

    A written document addressed to you: whether the advised treatment is in line with accepted practice, what the alternatives are, and the questions worth asking your treating doctor. It is meant to be shared with your own doctor, and it never replaces them.

If you decide to travel: how the full journey works

  1. 1

    Share your case

    Tell us your diagnosis and what treatment has been advised. After we connect, we send you a secure link for reports. Nothing sensitive goes through the website form.

  2. 2

    Teleconsult with a specialist

    We schedule a video consultation or a written second opinion with a specialist from our network who is relevant to your condition.

  3. 3

    Transparent plan and quotes

    You receive treatment options and itemized hospital quotes for your case. Our facilitation fee is shown separately, and it is never hidden inside a hospital bill.

  4. 4

    We coordinate everything in India

    Admissions, scheduling with real dates for your case, visa invitation paperwork, airport pickup, accommodation through our travel arm Tripcuro, and follow-up after you fly home.

Ophthalmology: FAQs

Can cataracts in both eyes be treated in one visit?
Often both eyes can be operated during a single trip, but with a gap between them that your surgeon decides based on how the first eye settles. We will not quote a fixed schedule on a website. The operating team gives you a realistic plan for your case before you book travel, and we build your stay around it.
What does a written second opinion cover for an eye condition?
The ophthalmologist reviews your eye examination reports, scans (such as OCT) and history, states whether the advised treatment is in line with accepted practice, explains the alternatives (including the option of monitoring where that is reasonable), and lists what to clarify with your local eye doctor. Lens and implant choices, where relevant, are explained in plain language with itemized costs in any quote we obtain.
How do you decide which hospital to recommend?
We are hospital-neutral. We shortlist hospitals across India based on the specialists available for your specific condition, the hospital’s accreditation and infrastructure for your procedure, and your budget. We take no commissions from hospitals, so nothing pushes us toward one over another. We share named options privately once we are working on your case.
