01 · Why UnSpecX
Four things we check
before any laser fires.
-
unblurred.
The whole point. Clear enough to read the bottom line of the chart, typically by the next morning after LASIK, SMILE Pro or SILK.
-
unhurried.
A 30-minute scan before anyone mentions surgery. Corneal maps, power stability, eye health. Then a conversation, not a pitch.
-
unhidden.
Your quote before you decide, EMI included, nothing added on the day. Pre-op tests, the procedure, medicines and follow-ups are in it.
-
unpressured.
About one in five people we scan should not have laser surgery. We say so, and send them home with their glasses and our respect.
02 · The four procedures

03 · The measurement
Measured in microns.
Finished in seconds.
Your cornea is mapped point by point before anything is planned. The plan is unique to your eye, and the platform executing it is the one leading refractive centres use worldwide.
- 01
Corneal map
Topography and thickness at every point, captured in the free scan. This is the deciding test, not the glasses power.
- 02
A plan, then a surgeon
The treatment is built for your cornea and signed off by the surgeon who will do it. If it does not add up, we stop here.
- 03
ZEISS VisuMax 800
The femtosecond platform behind SMILE Pro. Under ten seconds of laser per eye; the rest of the appointment is care.
Under ten seconds per eye.
The rest is measurement.
04 · Am I eligible?
About one in five people we scan, we turn away.
Not because we can't operate. Because we shouldn't. The scan exists to find out which side you are on, before anything touches your eye. Start with the four questions we ask first.
This is a first gate, not a diagnosis. Only the corneal scan and a surgeon can confirm.

Does the surgery hurt?
No. Numbing drops mean you feel pressure for a few seconds, not pain. Most patients say the fear beforehand was worse than anything they felt in the room.
How soon can I get back to work?
After LASIK, SMILE Pro or SILK, most people see clearly the next morning and are back at a desk in one or two days. PRK takes three to five days while the surface heals.
Is the correction permanent?
Yes, for the power you have today. Reading glasses in your mid-forties are a natural change of the lens inside the eye and happen to everyone; they are not your old power returning.
How safe is it, really?
Laser vision correction is among the most performed and most studied procedures in medicine. Our safety comes from the scan: eyes that are not suitable are refused. UnSpecX operates under the NABH-accredited Disha Eye Hospitals group.
Am I too old? Too young?
We operate from 18, once your power has been stable for about a year. Past forty, the right answer may be a lens-based procedure rather than a laser; the consultation covers that honestly.
What does it cost, and is EMI available?
Across the four procedures, between ₹35,000 and ₹1,25,000 for both eyes, quoted exactly after your scan. EMI is available, and nothing is added on the day of surgery.
Does insurance cover it?
Most insurers treat laser vision correction as elective. Some policies cover powers of 7.5 D and above. We help you check and handle the paperwork.
