What is the Cost of Vitrectomy in India?
Vitrectomy is the surgical procedure performed to correct disorders of the retina and vitreous. It involves removing the fluid, i.e., vitreous humor from the eye and replacing it with another solution. It is the last resort to address eye problems like retinal holes, detached retina, diabetic retinopathy, vitreous hemorrhage, macular holes, pre-retinal membrane fibrosis, etc.
In India, the cost of vitrectomy starts from Rs. 60,000 and can go up to Rs. 1,00,000 approximately. The cost of the treatment is calculated by the healthcare provider after evaluating the patient’s eye health. The estimate of how much the treatment will actually cost is given to the patient after checking the results of their diagnostic tests.
So, you can expect to spend any amount between the above-mentioned range for the procedure. To get a closer estimate, call Pristyn Care and talk to our medical care coordinators.

Factors That Affect Vitrectomy Surgery Cost
The key factors that are considered while calculating the cost of vitrectomy surgery in India are explained below-
- Eye Disease- As mentioned, vitrectomy is performed to address various retinal and vitreous disorders, including diabetic retinopathy, retinal holes, macular holes, etc. Each of these diseases is slightly different and requires different techniques to treat them. For instance, when vitrectomy is recommended for retinal holes, besides replacing the vitreous humor with oil or saline, the surgeon will also have to use a laser or cryopexy to close the holes in the retina.
- Type of Vitrectomy- There are two types of vitrectomy, pars plana or posterior vitrectomy and anterior vitrectomy. For issues with the posterior eye segment, such as retinal holes, a posterior vitrectomy is performed. But for issues with the anterior segment (that usually arise as a complication of cataract or glaucoma surgery), anterior vitrectomy is performed.
- Choice of Hospital- Vitrectomy cost in India is different at each medical facility. The expenses are lower at government facilities, but the quality of care is not at par. In comparison to this, the expenses are higher at private facilities, but the quality of care is mostly brilliant. Furthermore, the cost will also be high at a super speciality treatment center compared to a multispecialty center.
- Choice of Doctor- To ensure that the surgery is successful, it is crucial that you choose an experienced eye surgeon. You should know that a surgeon with 10+ years of experience is going to charge more for the procedure.
- Hospital-Related Expenses- From being admitted to the hospital to discharge, you have to cover many expenses. These expenses include room rent, nursing charges, OT charges, medical consumables, etc.
- Diagnostic Tests- Before performing a vitrectomy, the surgeon recommends various tests, including a visual acuity test, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, retinal vessel analysis, OCT, etc., to evaluate eye health.
- Post-surgery Care and Follow-ups- After the surgery, several medications will be prescribed to you to minimize the chances of post-surgery complications. Furthermore, you will have to take multiple follow-ups with the doctor to ensure that the eyes are recovering well.
Is Vitrectomy Cost Covered by Health Insurance?
Yes, vitrectomy is mostly performed to preserve visual functions in the most severe cases. Thus, the treatment is considered a medical necessity, hence, covered by health insurance. However, there may be a waiting period of 2 or 4 years that states that you cannot get a claim against the treatment during this period.
The waiting period clause is given in all insurance policies, only the duration might be different. This clause prevents a patient from getting a claim for vitrectomy surgery until the specified period is over. To learn more about the terms and conditions of the health insurance plan, please talk to the insurance provider.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vitrectomy
What are the chances that I will need a second vitrectomy?
There is a 20-30% chance that the patient will need a second vitrectomy. This is so because vitrectomy is a method to address the damage that has already occurred in the eye. However, it cannot prevent future damage or problems.
How much will a second vitrectomy cost?
If a second vitrectomy is performed years after the first treatment, the cost will remain somewhat similar. However, if the surgeon has to perform a revision vitrectomy within months after the initial treatment, the cost will be lower.
