Having been wearing glasses from my early school days, I finally made my mind to undergo surgery in order to be free from spectacles. I met Dr. D.P.Prakash at Valasarawakkam and after the preliminary scans he confirmed me that the possibility of a lasik will not suit my eye and suggested an alternate method which is Implantable Contact Lens. The process was clearly explained by Doctor and without any hesitation I agreed to proceed.
Hence, I was given a small laser treatment in order to expand my iris for maintaining the fluid flow in my eyes. in the mean time lens was ordered by the Doctor and the same was received and the surgery was scheduled based on my convenience.
Upon negative RTPCR report, One eye was operated in a day post which I was called for consultation the following day. Once he felt that everything is okay with the operated eye he went on with the other eye.
The surgery time lasted for 20minutes. Doctor took utmost care and he ensured my comfort at all times during the surgery.
After wearing glasses for 24 years, finally I got rid from it due to American Eye Care Centre.
My vision is crystal clear now and I strongly recommend any patients who are looking for a lasik surgery to consult with American Eye Care before arriving at a decision.
Many thanks to the support staff who took great care of me during pre and post surgery.

I had Cataract Operation at American Eye Care Centre on 07-10-2021 at 3.00 PM. Dr.D.P.Prakash did the surgery. He did the surgery in 25 minutes and it was a pleasant experience. He made me comfortable throughout the operation.
While I entered the operation theatre yesterday an old lady, was sitting in the operation table. Just then operation was over for her. Dr.Prakash was congratulating her for her endurance and cooperation. He assured her that because of her cooperation, the lens fitted very well. She smiled and acknowledged. After my operation also Dr.Prakash makes few pleasant comments. But I found difference in the communication with me and that old lady. But sentiments are the same. Dr.Prakash makes everyone feel that he or she is his only valuable patient.
Dr.Prakash is supported by young and energetic para medical team. Today I was asked to come for check-up. The staff checked my eye sight. I read. I was ready to read even the last line in the Test board. The staff is about 20 years. She requested me not to proceed further. She said, “Reading last but one line is enough. It is called Human Vision. I have read up to Human Vision range. Now when I am ready to read the last line, I am supposed to have Eagle Vision. Even I will not be able to read Sir” she said.
When a 20 years old Girl fears to test her eyes on Eagle Vision. I venture at my 63rd age. That is Dr.Prakash’s capacity and craft. Let God strengthen Dr.Prakash’s inner and physical strength.
Dr.D.P.Prakash, F.R.C.S., (UK) is an exceptional human being and outstanding Eye Surgeon.

A rare combination of expertise and experience is what I see in Dr.D.P.Prakash , a leading and most sought-after eye surgeon. I went to him with a bundle of problems , including vision loss , in my left eye. With utmost caution , care and concern he analysed all the issues and addressed them one by one with an equally unparalleled skill. And all these at reasonable rates too ! He offered clear explanations in a layman's language , answered all my silly questions and removed unnecessary fears with remarkable ease and infectious friendliness. His ever-caring , well-trained and perpetually-agile team is truly appreciable. I wish him ( especially his deft , dexterous and healing hands ) all the luck and prayers in the world so that he can continue to cure and save many many many more eyes just as he has saved mine from what I thought was irreparable. God bless him !

It was for the first time, I met doctor Prakash for my mother's Cataract surgery. He was very friendly, simple, and gave a clear cut explanation about the problem, how the problem will be treated thro' surgery etc. In the initial time before the surgery, she was very much afraid of this Cataract, but we were in a situation that the surgery will be best option for her vision. My mother is happily satisfied with his nature on how he carried away the surgery and post-surgeon period.
Anyone who is looking for solution to your eye problem, he will be the best doctor, I can surely say it!

The doctor is an experienced professional who puts the patient at ease by addressing all the concerns. He uses the latest equipment for investigation. It helps that the center Is well equipped with a pharmacy and an optical outlet. The doctor also encourages the patient to provide feedback and reponds quickly to all queries. The staff are friendly. The doctor was able to allay all fears and doubts regarding cataract surgery. The post surgery phase is remarkable as only the eye drops need to be taken as per schedule. There are no restrictions like head bath, dark glasses, no reading, no watching TV etc.
