I underwent SILK surgery for myopia and astigmatism with Dr. Rohit Shetty at Narayana Nethralaya. The procedure was clearly explained, and it went very smoothly. The staff were incredibly supportive at every stage of the treatment. I was impressed by the comprehensive information management; there was no need to repeatedly explain things to different staff members. They conducted multiple tests to ensure the suggested procedure was suitable for me. Since I was traveling from a different state, every staff member communicated with me in English and considered my travel plans and arrangements when deciding on dates. I would happily recommend Narayana Nethralaya to others.
