As a 41-year-old Senior IT professional whose daily work and life rely completely on good vision, living with advanced keratoconus for nearly 18 years was an uphill battle. Finding Dr. Charuta J Puranik six years ago was truly life-changing. Be prepared for a detailed story, because it's really important for someone has this condition like me
Over the years, Dr. Charuta seamlessly guided me through complex lens issues(RGP, RoseK) into comfortable scleral lenses. Recently, her sharp clinical foresight proactively caught early corneal vascularization before it could turn into a severe complication, gently counseling my family and me through a DALK (cornea transplant) that I had feared for decades.
Now, in the crucial early days post-surgery, she has been an unwavering pillar of strength—patiently listening to every concern, answering my panicked queries even for small things, and restoring my confidence every single day. Dr. Charuta blends world-class surgical precision with heartfelt empathy and service acumen.

I underwent cataract surgery with Dr. Charuta Puranik using femtosecond laser and a trifocal lens. The entire procedure was very smooth and comfortable. Dr. Charuta explained the procedure and the lens options clearly before surgery and gave me confidence throughout the process.
My vision after surgery has been excellent, and I am very happy with the outcome. I can see well for distance as well as for my day-to-day activities without depending much on glasses. The follow-up care was also very good.
I am extremely satisfied with my cataract surgery and would highly recommend Dr. Charuta Puranik.

There is not much waiting time in the clinic. I have to say thank u very much to Dr charuta and I highly recommended it for patients who have keratoconus or other cornea relating problems.
