Manipal Hospitals
Photocoagulation in India typically costs from AUD $576 to AUD $1,296. The total price depends on the laser technology used, the number of sessions required for the retina, and the clinic location. Patients save around 65% by travelling to India from Australia, where this procedure costs AUD $2,449 on average. Most Indian facilities bundle the laser procedure and follow-up examinations into their care.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing NABH-accredited facilities provides high-quality assurance at a fraction of Australian private costs. Large complexes like Manipal Hospitals or Global Hospital Chennai use advanced minimally invasive technology for complex retinal cases. Some top-tier clinics are even ranked among the most technically advanced globally. For Australian patients, the primary value lies in accessing these high-specification laser systems without the long public waitlists common at home.
