I am writing a long 2 months post surgery review.Firstly considering lack of technical understanding in the society and families you need to fight a lot for treatments like refractive surgery which is considered as an elective surgery but only the patient themselves know the pain they are carrying with them and how potentially good the surgery can be.Though I had a relatively low myopia (-6 Cylinder), I went for lens implantation, mostly people I know go for Lasik with such power.I had odd powers - myopia in right eye and light hyperopia ( < 0.5 ) in left due to which I had difficulties in depth perception of the image.I was sceptical about procedure as there were not much reviews and also the idea of keeping a foreign body in the eye is something everyone will want to reconsider their decision. I tried researching a lot about the procedure, read complete quora, medium and infact many of the research papers published in medical science journals. Just before the day of the procedure I visited doctor again to validate all my doubts and measured the risk vs gain ratio.Along the whole process two people helped me a lot Mr. Watson and Mrs Amara. They both are gems. Everytime I visited them, they cleared all my doubts answered precisely even tiny technical details and thus I became confident about the procedure.Another doubt that came lately was the controversial articles of ECD loss at a greater rate (this is something which will scare most of us) but the improvements in the lens designs have eliminated these risks. So yes go ahead with the procedure ( why not ).The surgery was relatively quick. Though I came early in the morning and waited my turn to come (it took less than 10mins for the real procedure). You won't feel even a little pain, just a bit of pressure.I am a person of very little patience and hence during the entire course of recovery I panicked like anything. At times I used to call Mrs Amaravati (sometimes late in the evening but she was always helpful)Usually they say that you get to see things clearly just the next day but for me recovery time was a bit high, around 10 days and the vision became clearer day after day. I attained the maximum vision by this time but still it was not comfortable like the vision I used to have earlier. It took a total of around 35 days for my vision to become comfortable.Now I see along the things with an ease, depth perception like I used had never before. excellent reading vision, can focus easily while playing sports, driving etc.Only a little (negligible halos at the night are there which I will adapt soon)overall quality of my life has increased. The vision is far better than I used to have with glasses on. Thanks Dr Umesh and the team.Readers can personally ask me if they have any doubts.
Visited For LASIK Eye Surgery
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I was skeptical in getting any surgery done to remove my specs in past, it was restricting me in getting fully engaged in sports, gym and other activities which need free moment and body-mind coordination. One day when I broke my spectacles while training in gym, someone suggested to get lasik done at Sankara Eye Hospital, and I must say this advise is one of the most valuable advise I have got, I got my SBK lasik done yesterday without any pain (little discomfort was there but we cannot call them pain) by Dr. Umesh and today I came to hospital, drove myself and have perfect vision. Really happy with services provided by Sankara Hospital and it's all due to Mrs. Amaravathy and Mr. Watson who are optometrist there and made whole process smooth.

Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
I was referred to Dr. Y Umesh once I expressed interest in getting a femto lasik. On our first meeting, he ****** tried to convince me to go for PRK based on my reports, stating that it is the best suited procedure for me, and what in hindsight seems to be his favourite maxim “No pain, no gain”, as the archaic procedure results in soreness of eyes for almost a week and requires at least a couple of months for complete recovery of vision, with the advantage that you need not get a corneal flap created. When I insisted on going for femto-lasik based on personal concerns, he quickly got irritated and dismissed me saying that both the procedures can be ‘legally recommended’ by him, and in the end, it was my choice. But he seemed visibly upset, and also somewhat wary, which made me uneasy as well.
