Dr. Somashekhar is a great eye specialist and a visionary doctor!! The precision in testing, perfect prescription, and advice for the lifetime vision benefits of the patients are worth mentioning here. The outstanding qualities in his treatment are his careful diagnosis, maintenance of hygiene, systematic approach, usage of high-quality machinery and instruments, and the time he dedicates to each patient. I took my son to him as he is suffering from lazy eye syndrome and the doctor treated him with a smile and made him very confident. I visit him for a regular diagnosis. I recommend him to anyone who wants to improve his/her vision in the most professional way.
