Frequently asked questions

Answers to questions we are often asked. For anything specific to your eyes, please book a consultation.

How do I book an appointment?

Call or WhatsApp us on +91 92748 67875, or use our contact page. We will offer the earliest suitable slot at the location convenient for you. No referral is needed.

Do I need a referral to visit?

No. You can book a comprehensive eye checkup or a consultation for a specific concern directly.

When is cataract surgery needed?

When a cataract has progressed enough to affect daily activities such as reading, driving or recognising faces. The decision is individual and made together with your surgeon.

Am I suitable for LASIK?

LASIK suitability depends on your age, prescription stability, corneal thickness and eye health. A detailed assessment is needed before any laser vision correction.

How often should I have an eye checkup?

Many adults benefit from a comprehensive eye examination every one to two years, and more often if you have diabetes, high eye pressure, or a family history of eye disease. Children should be checked if there are any signs of difficulty.

What are the warning signs of a serious eye problem?

Sudden loss of vision, an eye injury, a chemical splash, severe eye pain, or a sudden shower of new floaters or flashes should be assessed urgently. Call us first on +91 92748 67875.

Will I always need glasses after eye surgery?

It depends on the procedure and the lens or correction chosen. Some patients reduce their dependence on glasses; others still need them for certain tasks. We set realistic expectations beforehand.
