Medicare Eye Hospital headed by Dr. J. Atheeshwar Das and Dr. Shweta Atheeshwar is the go to place for treatment of any problem relating to eyes.
Dr.Atheeshwar Das has recently performed cataract surgery for both my eyes.
From primary check up to surgery, the whole experience put me in a comfort zone. The entire procedure was explained to me and all my doubts clarifed patiently. The surgery was quick and pain free thanks to the experience and skill of Dr. Atheeshwar Das . Post surgery medication was explained in detail and reminder calls were from his
office received for post surgery checkups.
The doctor is committed to providing the highest quality of patient care combined with latest technology.
A mention has to be made of the state of art operation theatre and spic and span maintenance of the hospital itself.
I am extremely satisfied with the treatment and strongly recommend the hospital and the doctors for treatment of any issues relating to eye.
I wish Dr. Atheeshwar Das and his team at Medicare Eye Hospital the very best .
Visited For LASIK Eye Surgery

Precision, Perfection, and Professionalism!!!
This defines my good experience of having done Lasik eye surgery at Medicare Eye hospital and Laser Vision Centre, TTK Road @ Chennai with Dr. Atheeshwar Das. He is very warm, communicative, and carefully led us through the entire procedure which made me feel very comfortable and helped me to make an informed decision. The pre and post eye and health tests were conducted in a hygienically well-equipped lab with the latest technology.
Even within a few hours of the Lasik treatment, I had better vision than with my old glasses. By evening, the vision had improved and the next morning I fully enjoyed the most amazing vision ever.
Post-surgery, I am doing great. It’s amazing to see clearly without spectacles. My customized Lasik surgery experience was a very pleasant and positive experience. Right from the time, I went for the check-up to the after recovery was a very comfortable journey. One of the best decisions I have made is to approach a skillful and efficient Dr. Atheeshwar Das for my Lasik procedure.
My deepest gratitude to Dr. Atheeswardas and his team for making Lasik an amazing and life-changing experience for me. I am completely satisfied with my experience. The staff at the clinic were very courteous and professional.
I continue to recommend Medicare Eye hospital services to anybody who requires it.
Thank you once again, Dr. Atheeshwar Das

The doctor took personal care and tried to find out the root cause of the problem by conducting various tests . Even though the problem existed for nearly one and half years, none of the leading hospitals in India where treatment was undertaken earlier could find the root cause.
However I feel the charges for administering the injection is considered very high (Rs 2500.00 + Rs 9000.00) apart from other consumables and actual medicine charges. This is felt a bit too high in comparison. This could have been well explained before hand. In fact the details about the charges was known only after paying the money in full.
Experienced, ethical and very patient friendly. Works with a thorough examination and listens to patients complaints. The centre is well equipped with investigation facilities for treating all eye problems. Highly recommend this centre and Dr. Atheeshwar for all your eye related problems. Had undergone my cataract surgery with him and with the latest trifocal the implant in my eyes, I don't have to wear spectacles ever again. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and getting rid of my spectacles.
Visited For Eyelid Surgery
I paid in Practo and also at the clinic.The doctor is very experienced in this field, and very good in understanding the things. **** **** ***** ** **** **** ***** ** *** **** ** *********** ***** *** ****** I went for the puffy eyelids check up and I have clearly mentioned about my ICL which I did recently to make them understand there is no problem in the vision. However, they have run the tests without my concern which costs 1k approx, the other scans which cost 4k I have denied to undergo as they have asked my concern well before .The basic explanation needs to be given to all the patients irrespective of their background, when there is charge involves in one of their action. Also, there is charge for all card swiping + Registration fee for first time patients.
Visited For Reduced VisionEye Checkup - Comprehensive
Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessWait time
The actual treatment process was great. The staffs/ interns were polite and helpful.
I went in for a reduced vision and eye check-up. I did the preliminary, followed by inspection. Corneal topography, then finally another test after dilation.
I was told that I had weak spots on my eye (more on that later). Overall the treatment was decent.
Although what left a bad taste in my mouth was the Dr. Atheeshwardas's condescending and borderline insulting conversation with me during my check up. ** ***** ** * ********* ******* **** ** ********** ***** ** ***** *** ******** **** ******* *** ********
I hope the clinic takes this as a feedback and not as troll and report this.
On my weak spots... I would be much more comfortable in a friendly environment. So I exercise my right to reject treatment as a patient.
Hoped for better: Wait timeTreatment satisfactionWait time
** **** **** **** ** **** ** *** *** ****** ******* ** ******* ** **** ********** *** **** ****** *** ******* **** **** * ***** ** **** **** ******* Doctor is not that so freidnly to explain the issue... Post the initial examining he said that he would not test any patient without some dilation process which would take another 45 mins of time.. I am not either comfortable with doctor nor the clinic set up. Its my personal opinion.
Visited For Retinal Problems
We visited doctor keeping lot of faith by looking at his rich experience from the profile, *** *** *** ** ******* ** ****** *** **** *********** We visited him for diabetic retinopathy treatment of my father, after investigations, he suggested treatment of giving intra vitreal injection for both eyes and cataract surgery, all these he planned on the same day, we resisted and asked him to only provide intra vitreal injection for retinopathy, requested to postpone the surgery, and i have also requested him to cancel the the pre-approved mediclaim of cataract surgery, but he didn't do and kept on asking me to bring my father to cataract surgery. After we visited another retina doctor in our native town, the doctor said it was not a good practice followed by opthamolgists to operate the intra vitreal injection for both eyes on the same day* *** ** *** ******* ******** ** * ******* ***** **** **** ** ********** ******* *** ********* *** ***** ******** *** **** ***** and the hospital charges were also very high for the treatment, extremely dissatisfied with his treatment.
