General Overview:

Eyes are the means through which one perceives and understand the outside world. Even a small eye disorder can cause great discomfort and inconvenience to a person. Oculoplastic surgeries are performed exclusively for people who suffer from congenital visual impairment or acquired eye problems. Nowadays oculoplastic surgeries are becoming more and more popular and reliable all around the world.

Like many countries, UK too has its share of oculoplastic surgeons who are adept in their fields of specialization. These talented surgeons can be found in some of the most famous multi-specialty hospitals within the country. UK also has the required facilities that oculoplasty demands, along with certain levels of advanced technology. Most of these ocular surgeries commence with an eye test, which would later be diagnosed by some of the best oculoplastic surgeons in UK. The country even has an elaborately structured system to keep in track of the needs and requirements of the patients.

If UK meets all the said requirements, then why is it that most of the patients are flocking to India for oculoplastic surgery? The reasons are numerous.

Oculoplastic Surgery in India

Every year, India is visited by thousands around the world for various surgeries. Oculoplastic surgery is one of the most popular procedures on this list. Medical tourism has been climbing up in India since the last few years. India is a preferred destination for patients from around the world who want to get elaborate surgeries done at affordable prices. A major portion of these tourists includes the citizens of UK too. Apart from good facilities and reasonable rates, there is another reason that pulls in people to India for surgical treatments; Dr. Debraj Shome.

Cost comparison

As most of the reliable oculoplastic surgeons are found only in the leading hospitals of UK, it makes it difficult for people belonging to the less fortunate sections of the society to get their ocular disorders rectified. To add to it, the country has a unique billing structure that results in causing a blow on the wallets of many, especially when oculoplastic surgery is concerned. Thus, many find it convenient to come to India to get oculoplastic surgeries. This decision has two benefits, as in India, an elaborate oculoplastic surgery would come up to INR 60, 000 to 80, 000, adding to which certain treatment techniques and drugs in India are much advanced than that available in UK.
