Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Cost in India

The cost of Laser Peripheral Iridotomy in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) creates a small hole at the edge of the iris to open a narrow drainage angle. The cost depends on:

• One or both eyes
• Laser type
• Gonioscopy and pressure checks
• Clinic

LPI is a short outpatient laser usually priced per eye. A quote near this range is unusual, so ask what it includes.

Moorfields Eye Hospital says LPI treats angle-closure glaucoma or prevents it in people at significant risk. If you have narrow angles without raised pressure or damage, regular monitoring by an optometrist can be a reasonable alternative. Ask your doctor to explain your risk.

Moorfields gives drops before treatment to protect against pressure rise and to shrink the pupil. People on warfarin need a recent INR below 3.0. Bring someone to take you home.

Steroid drops are used hourly for 24 hours, then four times daily. Misty vision from minor bleeding usually clears within a day. Seek help for persistent misty vision or eye pain. This page covers the same procedure as laser iridotomy.
