Eye treatment at Sadbhaav is led by Dr Dhaval Patel, MD (Ophthalmology, AIIMS New Delhi), a cataract and refractive surgeon. International patients start with a free review of their reports, so you know the plan, the time needed and the estimated cost before you travel.
| Treatment | Typical stay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cataract surgery (phacoemulsification with a foldable lens) | About 1 week for one eye; about 10–14 days if both eyes are done | Day-care surgery. Reviewed the next day and again before you fly. The second eye is usually done a few days to a week after the first. |
| LASIK and laser vision correction | About 5–7 days | Detailed pre-operative tests, including corneal topography, are done first and decide whether laser is safe for you. |
| ICL (implantable contact lens) | About 1 week | For high myopia when laser is not suitable. The lens size is chosen from your measurements. |
| Keratoconus cross-linking (C3R) | About 1 week | The surface of the eye heals in a few days under a bandage contact lens, which is removed before you leave. |
| Pterygium surgery | About 1 week | Usually with a conjunctival autograft to reduce the chance of it coming back. |
| Glaucoma assessment and treatment | 2–3 days for assessment; longer if surgery is needed | Includes pressure checks, visual fields and OCT of the optic nerve, and a treatment plan you can continue at home. |
| Squint (strabismus) surgery | About 1 week | Measurements are repeated on arrival to confirm the surgical plan. |
| Eyelid and tear duct surgery | About 1 week | For drooping eyelids, lid lumps and blocked tear ducts; stitches are checked before you leave. |
| Retina and diabetic eye care | Depends on the condition | Send your reports first; we will advise what can be done here and how long it takes. |
These are typical times. Your doctor confirms the number of days after examining you, and it can be longer if healing is slower or both eyes are treated.
