Looking to reduce dependence on glasses? Understand the available laser vision correction options and find out which procedure may be suitable for your eyes with Dr Pritam Dedhia.
Doctor-Led Care
With 20+ years of clinical expertise and access to advanced laser vision correction options, Dr Pritam Dedhia helps patients choose treatment with clarity — not confusion. Every LASIK decision is based on detailed eye evaluation, modern technology, clear counselling and the procedure that best suits the patient’s cornea, power and lifestyle.
Every eye is different. After corneal mapping, thickness check, tear-film assessment and power stability review, Dr Pritam Dedhia recommends the procedure suited to your eyes — Blade LASIK, Femto LASIK, Contoura, ReLEx SMILE or PRK.
Patients are counselled about what each procedure involves, expected recovery, precautions, possible side effects and realistic visual expectations. If LASIK is not suitable, Dr Pritam explains why and discusses safer alternatives.
Dr Pritam Dedhia brings 20+ years of ophthalmology experience to refractive-surgery planning, counselling, procedure selection and follow-up.
Dr Pritam’s comprehensive ophthalmology background helps identify patients who may need more detailed eye evaluation before elective laser vision correction.
Compare Options
LASIK and laser vision correction are not one single procedure. The technique recommended depends on your spectacle power, corneal measurements, tear film, lifestyle and complete eye examination.
| Comparison point | Blade LASIK | Femto / Bladeless LASIK | Contoura Vision | ReLEx SMILE | PRK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per eye | Starting from ₹18,000 | Starting from ₹45,000 | Starting from ₹20,000 | Starting from ₹60,000 | Starting from ₹18,000 |
| In simple words | Conventional LASIK | LASIK with laser-created flap | Topography-guided customised laser treatment | Small-incision vision correction without a conventional LASIK flap | Surface laser vision correction without creating a LASIK flap |
| Blade used to create flap? | Yes | No | Depends on flap technique | No | No |
| Corneal flap? | Yes | Yes | Usually when performed as LASIK | No conventional LASIK flap | No |
| What makes it different? | Established conventional LASIK technique | Femtosecond laser creates the flap instead of a microkeratome blade | Treatment planning uses detailed corneal topography for customised laser correction | Vision correction is performed through a small incision without creating a conventional LASIK flap | Laser treatment is performed on the corneal surface without creating a flap |
| Early visual recovery | Usually relatively quick | Usually relatively quick | Usually relatively quick | Usually relatively quick | Generally slower than LASIK/SMILE |
| Why might patients consider it? | Conventional LASIK option | Patients specifically seeking bladeless flap creation | Patients interested in topography-guided customised treatment | Patients interested in avoiding a conventional LASIK flap | Surface treatment may be preferred in selected eyes |
| Suitable for everyone? | No | No | No | No | No |
Prices shown are indicative starting prices for general information only. Actual cost depends on the procedure recommended, diagnostic findings, and individual eye parameters, and is confirmed only after consultation. These prices do not constitute a quotation or offer.
There is no single “right LASIK option” for every eye. A more expensive procedure is not automatically better for you. The appropriate treatment depends on your individual eye measurements and clinical requirements.
EMI options available.
Suitability First
Final suitability is confirmed only after corneal mapping, tear-film assessment and complete eye examination — not from spectacle power alone.

“I had myopia and wanted to get lazik surgery.So I decided to search for a good eye doctor.I got to know about the vatsal eye care and laser center through online search. After reading the good reviews I decided to check it out.The staff there are respectful compared to the other place that i have been. Dr. Pritam Dedhia (vatsal eye care) is soft spoken,informative and patience. And putting my trust in him I decided to have my surgery here. During the lazik surgery Dr. Pritam explained to me all the procedure. The surgery was success. And now I can see clearly without glasses all thanks to the vatsal eye care.”

Suitability
Your spectacle power alone cannot determine which laser vision correction procedure is appropriate. Corneal shape and thickness, tear-film status, refractive stability, lifestyle and overall eye health also need to be considered.
Final recommendation options:
Blade LASIK | Femto LASIK | Contoura | ReLEx SMILE | PRK
FAQs
The cost varies according to the procedure selected. Please refer to the comparison and pricing table above for Vatsal's indicative starting per-eye charges.
Blade LASIK uses a microkeratome blade to create the flap. Bladeless or Femto LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the flap before correction.
Femto LASIK is commonly described as Bladeless LASIK because the corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser.
Contoura Vision uses detailed corneal topography to support customised treatment planning. Suitability depends on corneal mapping and complete evaluation.
ReLEx SMILE is performed through a small incision without creating a conventional LASIK flap. LASIK techniques usually involve a flap before laser correction.
PRK is surface laser vision correction without creating a flap. It may be considered in selected eyes after corneal thickness, corneal shape and clinical findings are reviewed.
The right option depends on spectacle power, corneal thickness, corneal mapping, tear-film status, eye health, lifestyle and expectations. The doctor recommends the procedure after testing.
LASIK is a well-established procedure, but like any surgery it carries some risk. Suitability is confirmed only after detailed evaluation, and the doctor discusses safety, expected outcomes and alternatives during consultation.
Temporary side effects can include dry eyes, glare, halos around lights at night, and mild discomfort during initial healing. These are usually short-term and are discussed in detail during pre-procedure counselling.
LASIK corrects existing refractive error, but it does not prevent age-related changes such as presbyopia, which may require reading glasses later regardless of the procedure chosen.
EMI options are available for eligible LASIK patients. Final payment guidance depends on the procedure recommended and the treatment plan discussed during consultation.
