LASIK eye surgery has transformed lives around the world by offering a long-term solution to vision correction. India has become one of the most popular destinations for affordable and high-quality LASIK procedures. Yet for many international patients, the biggest hurdle isn’t the procedure itself—it’s figuring out how to pay for it upfront.
Even when a treatment is significantly less expensive overseas, the full cost often needs to be paid in advance. That’s where medical travel financing becomes essential. This guide explains what financing your LASIK surgery in India really means, answers common questions, and introduces how Better by MTA can guide you through this process with clarity and confidence—without selling or pushing financial products.
Why LASIK Abroad Still Requires Financial Planning
India’s world-class LASIK surgeons and modern clinics offer eye correction procedures at a fraction of the cost compared to countries like the U.S. or UK. However, this affordability can be misleading. Even a few thousand dollars can pose a serious challenge if you’re expected to pay the entire amount upfront, before boarding your flight.
Travel expenses, accommodation, visas, pre-surgery tests, and post-op care also add to the total cost. This is why many patients—even those traveling for budget-friendly care—still need a financial plan.
What Is Patient Financing?
In simple terms, patient financing means breaking down the total cost of your treatment into manageable monthly payments, rather than paying it all at once. This can involve a loan, a credit-based plan, or flexible installment options designed for medical procedures.
However, not every patient wants to (or can) work directly with a bank or financing institution, especially across international borders. That’s why understanding your full range of options—and knowing what’s realistic based on your personal financial situation—is critical before you commit to surgery abroad.
Can I Finance My LASIK Treatment in India?
Yes. Many patients seek financing solutions specifically for international surgeries like LASIK. Whether you're paying through savings, borrowing, or combining payment sources (e.g., partial savings and monthly plans), there are flexible ways to manage costs—even if you're traveling to India from another country.
Better by MTA helps patients like you understand what’s possible. We don’t sell or promote financial products. Instead, we provide neutral, supportive guidance to help you:
- Explore available financing paths based on your country of residence
- Understand the realistic cost of your entire trip—not just the surgery
- Prepare for upfront expenses like travel, diagnostics, and prepayments
- Learn how to budget and plan payments before and after your return
What If I Don’t Have Insurance?
Many LASIK procedures are considered elective and are not covered by health insurance—even in your home country. If you’re uninsured or underinsured, financing becomes even more important.
Without insurance support, you’re responsible for 100% of the cost. Better by MTA can help you break that down into understandable parts and offer tools to:
- Calculate the full cost of surgery, travel, and recovery
- Create a personalized treatment budget
- Learn how patients like you have managed similar costs
- Avoid surprise expenses through careful planning
Are Monthly Payment Plans Available?
Yes, depending on your personal financial situation and location, monthly payment options may be accessible either before you travel or through international-friendly lenders. While Better by MTA doesn’t sell loans, we help you navigate the process with:
- Clarity: Understand the pros and cons of monthly financing
- Confidence: Know what documents or approvals may be required
- Control: Make decisions on your own terms—no pressure
In many cases, planning in advance is the key to getting the most flexible payment terms. Don’t wait until the last minute—start exploring your options early.
