Low Cost Cataract Removal and a Free Holiday!

Before we look at the huge cost savings and the opportunity to get the free holiday of a lifetime, let’s look at what cataract removal involves.

Cataracts Definition

The lens of the eye, which is responsible for focusing images onto the retina, is normally transparent.

Cataract removal is a procedure to remove a cataract that is a cloudy or opaque area in the lens of the eye that is impairing vision.

As a normal part of aging for example, the lens begins to cloud and causes a progressive, painless decrease in vision, which results in a cataract removal being needed to restore optimum vision.

Procedures for Cataract Removal

There are two common cataract removal methods.

Phacoemulsification technique:

An ultrasound probe breaks the cloudy lens into tiny fragments and removes them through a small incision.

A plastic lens implant is inserted to replace the natural lens. Because the incision is tiny, stitches are often not necessary and visual improvement is usually noticeable immediately after surgery.

Extracapsular technique:

Entails the removal of the cataract as one entire piece. This requires a larger incision and stitches.

A plastic lens implant then replaces the natural lens. Recovery is usually slower, due to the larger incision.

Cataract Removal - Success Rates The outcome of cataract surgery is usually excellent.

The operation has low risk, the pain is minimal, and recovery time is short.

The patient can leave straight after the operation and can expect complete healing in about 10 weeks.

Cataract removal costs

Cataract removal costs in the USA are approximately $2,400 - $4,930 and in the UK £1,450 – £2,900

In India, the costs are just $280 – $697 or £165 - £410 - providing massive savings!

India is Leading the way in Medical Tourism

India is establishing itself as the world leader in medical tourism for the following reasons:

Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India offers world-class medical facilities that are comparable with the USA or UK, or any other industrialized nation.

The high concentration of expatriate Indian medical staff working abroad particularly, in the USA and UK, gives patients confidence in healthcare in India generally. Patients are of course, already used to the expertise and professionalism of Indian medical staff.
