How Much Does OCT (Optical coherence tomography) Cost in India?
In India, OCT typically costs from $40 to $80. The final price depends on scan type and whether one or both eyes are scanned. Equipment and hospital or clinic tier can also affect the quote. In the United States, similar scans average $280. Patients save around 79% compared with the US average. A consultation may be included in some quotes and billed separately in others.
- standard retinal or front-of-eye OCT: Scan area and purpose can affect the protocol selected.
- OCT angiography: It maps retinal blood vessels without dye. This scan may cost more than standard OCT.
- one or both eyes: Some centers price each eye separately. Scanning both eyes in one visit may change the total.
- equipment: Spectral-domain and swept-source machines use different imaging technology, which can affect the quote.
- consultation and location: An eye-doctor visit may be included or billed separately. Providers in Delhi, Gurgaon, Chennai, and Mumbai may quote differently by hospital tier.
