What is it?
Low cost should never mean low quality in retina surgery. Our prices are low because the hospital publishes a fixed base price for each procedure and charges extras (gas, silicone oil, lens) only when your eye needs them, item by item.
The same fellowship-trained retina surgeons operate whatever your budget. If cost is a worry, tell the surgeon: there is often a cheaper medicine, a laser-first approach, or a cashless scheme that brings the bill down.
Our published prices
- Retinal detachment surgery from ₹22,000–25,000
- Vitrectomy from ₹22,000–25,000
- Retinal laser ₹3,000 per session
- Anti-VEGF injection ₹10,000–12,000
- Consultation ₹500, OCT ₹1,000
Do not delay an urgent retina operation to compare prices: a detachment repaired late costs more and saves less sight. Call us and we will give you the estimate the same day.

Treatment options
Cashless schemes
CGHS, WBHS, ESI, AAI, FCI, WB Police and most insurers cover retina surgery, laser and injections.
Lower-cost medicines
Bevacizumab or biosimilar ranibizumab instead of the most expensive injections, when suitable.
Laser before surgery
A ₹3,000 laser for a retinal tear can prevent a ₹25,000+ detachment operation.
Combined surgery
Cataract and retina surgery in one sitting avoids paying for two operations.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the cheapest retina surgery in Kolkata?
Retinal detachment surgery and vitrectomy start from ₹22,000–25,000 per eye at our centres in Chinar Park and Madhyamgram, compared with ₹40,000 to ₹1,50,000 commonly charged elsewhere in Kolkata.
Is cheap retina surgery safe?
Price depends on how a hospital charges, not on skill. The same fellowship-trained retina surgeons and equipment are used for every patient. Ask any hospital for its surgeon's training and a written estimate.
Are there hidden charges?
No. You receive an itemised estimate before surgery that lists the operation, gas or oil, medicines and follow-up visits.
Can I get retina surgery free under a government scheme?
CGHS, WBHS and ESI members can have retina surgery cashless at our centres. Bring your card and referral.
