Excellent Care: I am 67 years old and wanted to have my eyes checked and as it has been more than 3 years since I had my spectacles changed and felt some minor vision problems. I met Dr. Ashish Kumar on the 19th June 2017.
Dr. Ashish Kumar listened patiently to me and examined me and told me that I had immature cataract in both eyes and needed surgery. His answers to my questions dispelled all my doubts and fears and I instantly felt that my eyes are in safe hands. I could feel his caring nature, expertise and his ability to put the patient at ease.
I had my surgery done in my right eye by Dr. Ashish Kumar on 24th June. During the surgery he was explaining every step of the surgery. In fact I was totally unaware of when he introduced the instrument into my eye while chit-chatting with me. He even said I was doing well in listening to his instructions and co-operating. On the sixth day I had my surgery for my left eye with a similar happy experience.
During and after the surgery the doctor and his team treated me with friendly care and of course professionally. The hospital atmosphere is spic and span and the facilities are most advanced and well maintained. Everything happened smoothly from getting the doctor’s appointment and interactions with the hospital staff and follow up.
I had the multi-focal IOL implanted in my eyes and my eyesight has improved tremendously after the surgery.
I recommend Akshara Eye Hospital for all those who have eye problems if you would like treatment from expert, caring doctors and a hospital with advanced facilities and courteous, helpful staff.
Dr. Ashish Kumar, please accept my heartfelt thanks. Blessings to you and your team for a bright future.

I am 68 years old and recently moved to Bangalore from Chennai. As I had Cataract developing in my eyes, I wanted to find a Clinic/hospital nearby. I always prefer a well equipped Clinic/Small Hospital with experienced Doctors as you will get personal care and attention there compared to bigger Hospitals of repute. While searching in the net I located AKSHARA EYE HOSPITAL and was very much impressed with the credentials of Dr Ashish Kumar. The reviews posted further strengthened my view.
I fixed up an appointment with the Doctor on 28th March 2017 evening.The very first thing that impressed me was the cleaneliness of the Clinic. The staff attended to me very politely and were well trained. I could also see that they have the latest equipments. The initial screening was done systematically
I also observed that the staff could converse with the patients in all Southern languages apart from English and Hindi which is an added advantage to the patients. When I met Dr Ashish Kumar he explained to me in detail about the present condition of the Cataract and advised to go for the surgery. He cleared all my doubts about the surgery and took ample time to attend to me. I could see that he is a Doctor with full confidence and experience in the field. As advised by him I underwent Cataract surgery for left eye on 12th April and on 18th for right eye. The Doctor performed the surgery with ease and efficiently and was keeping me informed of what he was doing at every stage of surgery. He gives more importance for the cleaning of eye before and after surgery which ensures that you dont have any post operative problems and the recovery is fast. Now my vision is very clear thanks to Dr Ashish Kumar for advising me to go for Multifocal Lenses though it is slightly costly. Right from day one of the surgery I did not not have any problem and strictly follow the instructions of the Doctor and the credit goes to Dr Ashish Kumar and his team.
I strongly recommend Dr Ashish Kumar and his Hospital for all eye problems especially to those needing Cataract Surgery.

My mother in law has very rare lens power. Her case was risky and she underwent a cataract surgery. Other doctors did not give any hope. Dr Ashish gave us hope and surgery was successful. Good and friendly doctor who guided us and now she is able to see clear. Thanks to Ashish Kumar.

I am 68 years old and recently I underwent cataract surgery for both eyes at Akshara eye hospital in Bengaluru. Dr Ashish Kumar, who operated on me made me feel very comfortable throughout the consultations before surgery, during surgery and at follow-up appointments. I have always believed that we can never thank doctors enough for what they do for us. I can’t thank Dr Ashish enough for giving me back the gift of clear vision. He is clearly very skilled at his work.
More importantly, he has the patience to sit with his patients and explain things in a way that we can make clear decisions for ourselves. And I am one of those who needs all answers and a lot of reassurance! Actually I was terrified of surgery (though it was a minor one) and was reluctant to go ahead. Yet, Dr Ashish had the patience to answer my questions without ever making me feel like I was a pain!
Dr Ashish has a friendly way of talking to his patients. He recognised that I was anxious during the surgery and distracted me by chatting like a family member. For a second I even thought that in the hands of a surgeon like him, there is no need for any anaesthesia.
He is polite and very down to earth, and the rest of the hospital staff that I came across were also equally friendly.
About Akshara hospital, I felt that they took utmost care around cleanliness and hygiene.
Thank you Dr. Ashish kumar and Akshara hospital! With gratitude and blessings .God Bless you!

I would like to share my very good experience at Akshara Eye Hospital, Devarachikkanahalli Road, IIM Post, Bilekahalli: I had visited on Monday along with my Parents (Father's age 84 years, Mother age 82 years). My parents lost sight due to cataract we undergo an eye test and meet doctor Dr. Ashish Kumar, he is very helpful, friendly and polite Dr. Ashish Kumar explained the whole procedure and my concern regarding cataract operation of my parents which are above 80 years. He is very experienced; I am very scared and concerned about my parent’s operation being very old. On Saturday he performed a cataract operation on my parents and it goes smooth without any pains and the whole procedure went very smooth. Now my parents can see clearly without glasses. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ashish Kumar and Akshara Eye Hospital. Really happy with the surgery. I am satisfied with the staff members, Nursing staff, helpers.
Excellent service and best treatment I have ever seen in an eye hospital, My parents who were praising his treatment, I strongly recommend cataract surgery.

I am Mohan Kumar, aged 48, underwent cataract surgery to my Right eye on 21st February 2018 at Akshara Eye Hospital, Bilekahalli by Doctor Ashish Kumar. My vision was not good & I was unable to carry on my daily routines even with both reading & distance glasses. I shared this problem with one of my friends who also underwent cataract & glaucoma surgery by Dr. Ashish in January 2018. He gave me confidence to meet Dr. Ashish with his good opinion & experience at Akshara Eye Hospital.
Dr. Ashish Kumar examined me & advised me to undergo cataract surgery.He explained & gave me all the information about Unifocal & Multi focal IOLs. His answers to my questions dispelled all my doubts & fears and I instantly felt that my eyes are in safe hands. I could feel his caring nature, ********* ***** **** ****** ********** *** *** ******* ** *** *** ******* ** ***** I had the Multi-Focal IOL implanted in my eyes and my eyesight was very good & I was able to read without glasses the very next day itself after the surgery.
For all those who need expert eye care, treatment from caring doctors, a hospital with advanced facilities & courteous helpful staff, I strongly recommend Akshara Eye Hospital, Dr. Ashish Kumar & his team.
Dr. Ashish Kumar, please accept my heartfelt thanks. May God bless you & your team for your valuable service to mankind & society.
I visited Dr. Ashish for a general eye check up, a small infection and to enquire about LASIK.
He was extremely friendly while talking and heard me out patiently on what the problem was. He prescribed an antibiotic but when I unfortunately didn't get it at any pharmacy for a couple of days and I called him, he asked me to visit for another (free) look at the infection before deciding anything, instead of blindly giving me another name. He finally advised me not to go for any medicine since the infection had almost gone, unlike other doctors these days who are behind commissions from pharmaceutical companies and prescribe unnecessary drugs to make profits.
For LASIK, he thoroughly explained me the whole process of the surgery as well as the pre-requisite tests which tell you whether it's feasible. The best thing I liked about him is that he dumbs it down for you and explains things in the simplest way possible, with diagrams and everything :P, so that even the patient understands what's going on.
I would definitely recommend him !!
