Visited Dr. Aditya Kelkar (Ophthalmologist/ Eye Surgeon) For Cataract Surgery
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
My wife Mohita Mathur had undergone Cataract surgery for her left eye at NIO, Aundh. Surgery was recommended and performed by Dr. Aditya Kelkar. Earlier her both eyes had very minimal +ve cylindrical power with minor hazy vision issues in left eye. Based on the recommendation of Dr. Kelkar, we had gone for the best Toric Synergy Multi focal IOL for implantation in left eye with cataract surgery . Today after 2 months of surgery my wife still complains of hazy vision from left eye along with frequent headaches post surgery. She can experience clear difference in vision between her left and right eye. When we consulted Dr. Aditya Kelkar today explaining the current issues, ** **** ********** ******* ******* **** ** *** *********** *** *********** **** He bluntly refused to any visionary difference between both eyes and made wild statements that headaches could be because of blood pressure or neurological issues whereas she doesn’t have these issues at all. My wife is a breast cancer survivor with very strong willpower to live life happily. Post surgery, she is completely under stress due to frequent headaches probably due to substantial vision differences between both eyes . Post today’s consultancy we feel we are deceived by Dr. Aditya Kelkar. Unfortunate part is this cannot be undone and it seems she will have to live like this with vision differences. We’re definitely going to seek another opinion now but not sure what can be done to improve. ** ******* ****** ** ******** ** *** ** **** *** ******* **** ** ********* ******* ** ***** *** **** ******* ***** *** ******* ****** ******* **** ********** Cost of this Femto laser assisted Cataract surgery with Synergy Toric IOL with Calisto eye system is also highly expensive and this even doesn’t gets covered by any insurance company.de

* *** * **** *** ********** **** *** *** ********* ****** My father( Babasaheb Sable) underwent a cataract surgery here* *** ** *** **** ******* ***** ** * ********** ******* ***** assured of good results and paying for a premium lens* ** ****** **** ****** ** *** ** *** **** ***** *** *********.
We had to make several rounds to the hospital, each time waiting endlessly for appointments. ***** *** *** ***** ****** *** ***** ** ********* *** ******* *** **** *********** *** *** *******
As per the records, the surgery was done by Dr. Jai Kelkar, but * **** ******* ******* The way the procedure was handled makes me believe that some trainee or junior may have operated on my father’s eye. ** **** ** *** ***** ** ** ********** ************ *** ** *** **** *** ************* ***** ** **** ***** ** **** ** ******** ***** *** **** *** ********* ********* *** ******** *** **** ***** ** **** ********** *** **** **** ***** **** **** **** ********* ** *** ***** **** **** ******* ** **** ********** *********** ** ****** *** ********** **** ***** ** ******** ******** ** ***** **** ** *** **** ***** ******* ** *** ***** **** ** ***** **** ** ***** **************** the only suggested treatment is a pupil replacement, which no one ever informed us could become necessary after a simple cataract surgery. **** ****** *** ********* ***** *** ********** *********** ************* *** **** *** *********
I am extremely disappointed *** ***** with the way this hospital handled my father’s case. I would strongly advise anyone considering treatment here to think very carefully before trusting them with their loved ones eyes
