How Much Does Retinal detachment surgery Cost in India?

Retinal detachment surgery in India typically costs from $1,200 to $2,900. The total price depends on the surgical technique, severity of the detachment, and the specific city. In the US, similar procedures cost around $18,000 on average. Patients save around 89% compared to US prices. These costs generally cover the surgical procedure, basic hospital stay, and standard diagnostic tests.

  • Surgical technique: Vitrectomy often costs more than scleral buckling or pneumatic retinopexy due to specialized equipment.
  • City location: Costs in major hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore are approximately 15-20% higher than Tier 2 cities.
  • Additional materials: The use of specialized silicone oil or gas injections can increase the final price.
  • Diagnostic requirements: Pre-operative tests like optical coherence tomography (OCT) or ultrasound typically add to the budget.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a multi-specialty network like Apollo Hospital Indraprastha or Global Hospital Chennai offers significant value. These facilities are accredited by JCI and NABH, ensuring international safety standards at local prices. Major Indian centers handle massive volumes, with some networks treating 2 million patients annually. This high surgical frequency often leads to better outcomes and more efficient, cost-effective care for complex retinal cases.
