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.

But the left eye lens was not fixed properly and initially told only a scar but latter was told it is permanent damage. Now they recommended glass for both sights and the glass **** ******** ** *** ******** ** *****
