Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers to questions we hear most from patients and their families.

What eye surgeries are performed at Hazari Eye Hospital?

We perform phacoemulsification cataract surgery with premium IOL, bladeless LASIK, vitreoretinal procedures, glaucoma filtration surgery, corneal transplantation, squint correction and paediatric eye surgeries — all in our state-of-the-art modular operation theatre.

Is LASIK eye surgery safe at Hazari Eye Hospital in Aurangabad?

Absolutely. Every LASIK candidate undergoes comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation including corneal topography, pachymetry and wavefront analysis before surgery. Our excimer laser is FDA-approved and our surgeons have performed thousands of LASIK procedures with outstanding safety and visual outcomes.

How long does cataract surgery take and when can I go home?

The phacoemulsification surgery takes 10-15 minutes per eye under topical (eye drop) anaesthesia — completely painless, no injections, no stitches. Most patients are discharged the same day and experience dramatic improvement in vision within 24-48 hours.

Does Hazari Eye Hospital accept health insurance for cashless treatment?

Yes. We are empanelled with Star Health, United India, New India Assurance, HDFC Ergo, Bajaj Allianz, ICICI Lombard, Niva Bupa, CGHS and ECHS. Please call 0240-233 3500 to confirm cashless eligibility before your visit.

What should I do in a sudden eye emergency in Aurangabad?

For any eye emergency — sudden vision loss, eye injury, chemical burns, severe pain — call our 24x7 emergency line immediately at 0240-233 3500. Do not rub your eye. Our on-call ophthalmologist is available round the clock for trauma and urgent cases.

At what age should children get their first eye examination?

We recommend the first examination at 6 months of age, then at age 3, and before school entry. Early detection of amblyopia, squint and refractive errors dramatically improves outcomes. If your child squints or sits very close to the TV — consult our paediatric ophthalmologist immediately.

Can glaucoma be treated and is vision loss reversible?

Glaucoma-related vision loss is permanent, making early detection critical. With timely treatment — eye drops, SLT laser, or trabeculectomy — we can halt the progression effectively. Most patients diagnosed early retain functional vision for life with consistent follow-up at our glaucoma clinic.
