General Overview

A vision-impairment can cause great distress and cause serious problems in one’s personal as well as professional life. This is the reason why oculoplastic surgery is becoming more and more popular by the day. Until a few decades ago, many disorders regarding eyes, tear ducts and the eyelids could not be treated beyond a point. But this is not the case today. Technology has advanced so much that any genetic or acquired disorder that involves the eye-socket, tear ducts or the face can be cured completely through oculoplasty.

If we take a look at Europe, we realize that there are many skilled oculoplastic surgeons practicing here. They are experienced and talented and can do wonders when equipped with the first class infrastructure that the leading hospitals and clinics in the country can provide. The oculoplastic surgeries in Europe comprise of detailed tests and procedures. They usually begin with an inner eye test and will proceed from there on depending on the patient’s age, health quotient and type of disorder.

Though the hospitals in Europe, including Turkey, Germany and United Kingdom have excellent facilities and unique methods to keep track of a patient’s process, the availability of these facilities to the common man is questionable.  This is one of the negative points that affects the popularity of oculoplasty in Europe. The reliable surgeons in the country are accessible only to the creamy layer of the society, thus leaving the rest with no means to deal with ocular and facial disorders.

Oculoplastic Surgery in India

India is one of the leading countries that is spearheading medical tourism and oculoplasty is a major field that hospitals in India focus upon. Being one of the leading developing countries, India’s advancement in the medical sector, coupled with its very own proud sect of exceptional doctors and surgeons has worked wonders in the medical tourism sector. The country accommodates thousands of foreigners who visit it for medical and surgical purposes. This also includes people from Europe. The brilliant fact that one of world’s most recognized doctors resides in India is also a reason that pulls in the crowd.

Cost Comparison

An oculoplastic surgery performed in Europe can be pretty expensive, especially since the surgeons are limited to only a handful of recognized hospitals. This puts the rest of the society in dilemma, as everyone cannot afford surgery at the existing costs in Europe. Thus they choose to come to India to get the same procedures done at a mush reasonable cost. In India, an elaborate oculoplastic surgery will come only around INR 60,000 to 80,000. Cost effectiveness is not the only factor that makes India a preferable destination to medical tourists; India’s medical technology is so much more advanced than that of Europe.
