My sister underwent topoguided CXL for keratoconus under Dr. Pooja khamar.Although I was worried as it was an eye related surgery for the first time and my sister as a patient was extremely anxious but Dr.Pooja excellently carried out the procedure and my sister felt absolutely relaxed. Loads of thanks and gratitude to Dr. Pooja.
Also special thanks to Mrs.Sibi for her efforts in clearly explaining about the procedure before and after surgery ,guiding us step by step, which is most important and making us feel comfortable about any doubts anytime about the procedure.

I am Indra, an Engineering student,very grateful to whole team of Narayana Nethralaya, lasik branch, Rajajinagar /Bangalore. I had very high negative numbers of both eyes approx above 9.25 and 10.25. I wanted to remove this high spectacles. Eventually lasik surgery was an option, and I came to know from online videos of Dr. Rohit Shetty sir, that new latest technology of lasik available at Narayana Netralaya Bangalore. We decided to visit the hospital and take consultation of Dr. Rohit. After pre test we found that SILK procedure can be performed and on same day I underwent the SILK procedure in a very short time and discharged on same day. SILK is very accurate and painless surgery to remove your specs. Entire team is very supportive and counselling is being done at every stage in pre and post operative stages.
I am feeling very happy that I could see more important clearly, crisply at far distance without my specs.
Thanks to Dr. Rohit and all Narayana Netralaya Team.
