ICL surgery in Mumbai typically costs between Rs 80,000 and Rs 1,50,000 per eye in 2026. Wide range, and the gap is real. What you pay at a basic refractive centre doing standard ICL is genuinely different from what a centre using EVO ICL with Pentacam HR, iTrace, and Anterion charges. The procedure looks similar from the outside. The diagnostic depth behind it doesn't, and that's what drives most of the price difference.
Dr. Vaishal Kenia, Chairman and Medical Director at Eye Hospital in Mumbai, says: "ICL cost varies because the procedure itself varies. The lens platform, the diagnostic depth, the surgical experience behind axis placement for Toric cases, these aren't cosmetic differences. They affect how the eye sees after surgery. Comparing only on price misses what's actually driving the gap."
What Affects ICL Surgery Cost in Mumbai?
The number on an ICL quote isn't arbitrary. Several things move it up or down. Here's what actually drives the difference:
Lens Type: Standard ICL and EVO ICL are priced differently. EVO ICL has a central port that eliminates the pre-op laser iridotomy and improves aqueous flow long-term. The lens costs more at the manufacturing level, and that feeds into the total.
Toric vs Spherical: Astigmatism means a Toric ICL, custom-manufactured to a specific axis. More complex to make, more complex to place. Typically Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 more per eye than a spherical ICL.
Diagnostic Workup: Pentacam HR, iTrace, Anterion, OPD Scan III give a far more detailed picture than basic biometry alone. Better data means more precise lens sizing and axis alignment. Centres with this equipment reflect it in pricing. Legitimate cost driver.
What's Included: Some packages cover all follow-ups, post-op drops, and the pre-surgical workup. Others itemise everything separately. Always confirm what the quoted number actually includes before comparing centres.

ICL Surgery Cost Breakdown: Mumbai 2026 Price Ranges
Prices below reflect the Mumbai market in 2026. Indicative ranges, not fixed quotes. Actual cost confirmed only after a proper diagnostic workup. Here's what to expect across different options:
Standard ICL Spherical: Rs 60,000 to Rs 90,000 per eye. Older platform, no central port. Available at volume refractive centres. Suits patients without significant astigmatism where EVO isn't available.
EVO ICL Spherical: Rs 90,000 to Rs 1,20,000 per eye. Current generation platform. Central port, no iridotomy needed, better aqueous flow. Most premium refractive centres in Mumbai now use this as standard.
EVO Toric ICL: Rs 1,00,000 to Rs 1,50,000 per eye. Custom axis-aligned, corrects both myopia and astigmatism. Higher manufacturing cost, more surgical precision required. Top end of the Mumbai ICL range.
What to Watch For: A quote significantly below these ranges usually means something isn't included, the lens is an older generation, or the diagnostic workup is basic. The lens has a manufacturer cost that doesn't compress much. Very low numbers deserve a closer look at what's actually in the package.

Why Choose Kenia Eye Hospital
Kenia Eye Hospital has been in Santacruz (West), Mumbai since 1998. ICL and EVO ICL surgery is performed by Dr. Vaishal Kenia, with pre-surgical mapping through Pentacam HR, OPD Scan III, Anterion, and iTrace. That diagnostic depth determines lens sizing, axis alignment for Toric cases, and anterior chamber fit before anything is ordered.
NABH, QAI, and FEQH accredited. CGHS empanelled. Written cost estimates after the workup, not before, because the lens spec can only be confirmed once the eye is properly measured. No-cost EMI options available. Call +91 75064 99962 to book.
