Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Orbital Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Orbital surgery is a specialised family of operations performed inside or around the bony eye socket (orbit) — the cavity in the skull that holds the eyeball, optic nerve, eye muscles, and surrounding tissue. It is carried out by oculoplastic and orbital surgeons and is recommended when a condition such as thyroid eye disease, an orbital tumour, a fracture, an infection, or optic nerve compression cannot be safely managed with medication alone, or when vision, eye movement, or appearance is at risk. The specific operation — whether decompression, tumour removal, fracture repair, abscess drainage, or tear-duct reconstruction — is chosen entirely based on the underlying diagnosis and where the problem sits within the orbit. Most procedures are performed under general anaesthesia and take one to three hours; hospital stays range from day-care to a few nights depending on complexity.
Sections of the orbital bone wall are carefully removed to create more space inside the socket, relieving pressure on the optic nerve and reducing eye bulging caused by thyroid eye disease or similar conditions.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: CT scan of orbits (axial and coronal), MRI orbits, Visual acuity and perimetry, Thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4), ECG, CBC, blood sugar, kidney function, PT/INR. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 – $7,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
Total stay: approx 14 days
The orbit is surgically opened through a hidden eyelid, brow, or endoscopic incision to remove or sample a tumour or cyst, with the approach chosen based on where the lesion sits inside the socket.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: CT scan of orbits, MRI orbits with contrast, Visual acuity and perimetry, CBC, LFT, KFT, blood sugar, ECG, PT/INR, Tumour markers (if malignancy suspected). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $7,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
Total stay: approx 14 days
Trapped tissue is lifted back into the orbit and the fractured floor or wall is supported with a thin implant (titanium mesh or resorbable plate) to restore the normal position of the eye.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: High-resolution CT scan of orbits and facial bones, Visual acuity and eye-movement assessment, Intraocular pressure measurement, CBC, blood sugar, kidney function, ECG, PT/INR. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $5,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~6 days recommended
Total stay: approx 10 days
A new drainage channel is created between the tear sac and the nose — either through a small skin incision beside the nose (external DCR) or entirely through the nostril using an endoscope (endonasal DCR) — to relieve chronic watering caused by a blocked tear duct.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $300
Typical tests for this variant: Dacryocystography or lacrimal sac syringing and probing, CT scan of lacrimal drainage system (if needed), Visual acuity assessment, CBC, blood sugar, kidney function, ECG, PT/INR. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $4,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 days
Hospitalisation: ~2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~6 days recommended
Total stay: approx 9 days
