Hello,

The cost of surgery comes around Rs 250-300 in the government hospital and the entire procedure is done manually. The recovery period in small incision cataract surgery is between 10-12 days and in phaco emulsification technique it is within 7-8 days.

Presently Sankara Eye Foundation India, as a group, is able to perform over 500 free eye surgeries every day , through Gift of Vision program. We have provided free surgical eye care to over 1.8 million needy patients so far.
