  • What is SMILE Surgery?

    SMILE stands for small incision lenticule extraction. It is an advanced vision correction technique that involves creating two lamellar planes in the cornea using the Femto laser to make the corneal lenticule. The lenticule is removed, and then the laser is used to reshape the cornea. 

    It is a quick, safe, painless, and minimally invasive procedure that provides improved vision with minimal chances of complications. This method is commonly used to correct myopia or nearsightedness up to 8 diopters and cylindrical power up to 0.5 diopters. It may not be the best technique for people with hyperopia and astigmatism.

    Cost Inflation Graph of Smile Lasik Surgery Overtime

    Factors That Affect SMILE LASIK Cost in India

    The key factors that influence the cost of SMILE LASIK are mentioned below- 

    • Doctor’s Fee- The major factor that determines the cost of all surgeries is the surgeon’s fee. It is crucial for the patient to choose an experienced surgeon to ensure that the surgery is successful. But you should also know that a highly experienced surgeon is likely to charge more to carry out the procedure. 
    • Technology Used- The technology used for SMILE is slightly expensive, which is why, the cost of treatment is also higher than other types of surgery. 
    • Diagnostic Tests and Evaluations- Before performing refractive surgery, the surgeon recommends a series of tests to evaluate the patient’s eye health. These tests include a retinal exam, pentacam test, eye pressure test, visual acuity test, corneal thickness test, etc. All these tests can increase the cost of treatment. 
    • Choice of Hospital- Both government and private medical facilities offer medical care, but the cost is slightly different at each facility. While eye surgery cost is slightly lower at government centers, the latest technology may not be widely available. In comparison to this, the latest technologies are commonly available at private treatment centers where the treatment cost is higher.
    • Post-surgery Care- After surgery, the patient will be prescribed medications, including oral medicines, eye drops, eye gel, etc. Besides the medicines, an eye shield or protective cover will also be required to cover the eyes. These expenses will also increase the treatment cost. 
    • Follow-up Consultations- Multiple follow-ups are required after SMILE LASIK, and for each follow-up consultation, the patient will be charged a fixed amount. This can also increase the expense on the patient’s end. 

    Does health insurance cover SMILE LASIK cost?

    Typically, health insurance policies don’t provide coverage for SMILE LASIK or any other type of vision correction surgery as it is an elective procedure. However, if the patient’s refractive power is equal to or higher than 7.5 D, the treatment cost will get covered by insurance. Other scenarios where SMILE LASIK can get covered under insurance include the following- 

    • If a refractive error occurs as a result of injury or accident. 
    • In case the refractive power occurs due to a complication from previous eye surgery. 
    • If the patient is physically unable to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. 
    • If the patient has severe myopia. 

    You can contact the health insurance providers and learn all about the terms and conditions regarding coverage for refractive surgeries.
