MediVision Badvel, at SBVR Charitable Eye Hospital
Badvel is our Andhra Pradesh centre, run with SBVR Charitable Eye Hospital. It exists to make cataract surgery and diabetic eye screening genuinely reachable — in cost, in distance and in the time a farming family can spare.
The clinical standards are the same as our Hyderabad hospitals. What differs is the pricing structure, the emphasis on government health schemes, and the eye camps that go out into the district rather than waiting for people to come in.
What Badvel does well
Every MediVision centre follows the same clinical protocols. What differs is what each one is built for.
Cataract surgery you can actually afford
Priced for this district, with government scheme coverage applied wherever you qualify. Cost is discussed openly before anything is scheduled.
Community eye camps across the district
Screening camps in surrounding villages, with transport arranged to Badvel for anyone who needs surgery.
Government health schemes handled here
Aarogyasri and Ayushman Bharat paperwork is completed at the hospital. Bring your card and ID.
Unhurried consultations in Telugu
Nobody is rushed through. Older patients in particular get the time to understand what is happening to their eyes.
A clear referral path when needed
Cases needing LASIK, corneal or retinal surgery are referred to our Hyderabad centres with records sent ahead and the appointment arranged.

Symptoms worth an appointment this week
Most eye problems are easier, cheaper and more completely fixable when caught early. These are the ones we would rather see sooner.
White or cloudy appearance in the pupil
Advanced cataract. Still operable — do not assume it is too late.
Unable to see well enough to work
If vision is limiting your livelihood, that is reason enough to come in.
Diabetes with no eye examination ever
Screening is quick and painless, and it catches damage while it is still reversible.
Watering eyes in sun or wind
Common here, usually treatable, sometimes a blocked tear duct.
A growth on the white of the eye
Often a pterygium from sun and dust exposure. Removable.
Gradual loss of side vision
Glaucoma takes peripheral vision first and painlessly. A pressure check takes minutes.
Diagnostics available here
A diagnosis is only as good as the measurement behind it. These tests are performed at Badvel — you are not sent elsewhere for the basics.
- Auto-refraction and vision testing
- Optical biometry for cataract surgery
- Slit-lamp examination
- Tonometry for eye pressure
- Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy
- Fundus examination for diabetic screening
What actually happens when you come in
Budget about 90 minutes for a first visit — longer if your pupils need dilating, which makes driving yourself home unwise.
-
Registration and vision test
A short registration, then visual acuity and auto-refraction. Bring your current glasses and any previous reports.
-
Diagnostic work-up
Eye pressure, slit-lamp examination and any imaging your symptoms call for — OCT, fields or biometry.
-
Consultation with your specialist
You get the findings explained plainly, with the actual images on screen, and a clear answer on what needs doing and when.
-
Plan, costs and follow-up
A written plan with costs before anything is booked, explained in Telugu or English, plus insurance paperwork if you are using it.
Specialists you may see here
Our consultants rotate across centres, so the surgeon you meet at a district hospital is the same one operating at the flagship.
