Dr. Nitin S Shetty

Our 8-year-old daughter, an aspiring astronaut, developed sudden strabismus that threatened her depth perception. Dr. Shetty diagnosed a rare neurological condition and coordinated with pediatric neurologists. Through non-surgical vision therapy and precise prism adjustments, she now has perfect binocular vision and can continue her dream of becoming a pilot.

During a high-altitude trekking expedition, I suffered a corneal abrasion from ice particles. Rushed to Manipal Hospital, Dr. Shetty performed emergency corneal gluing at 2 AM. His wilderness medicine experience meant he understood altitude-related healing challenges. I recovered fully and completed my Himalayan journey two months later.

As a professional video game streamer, my deteriorating vision from keratoconus threatened my career. Dr. Shetty performed corneal collagen cross-linking followed by custom contact lens fitting. My visual acuity improved from 20/200 to 20/20, allowing me to maintain my elite gaming ranking and continue my esports career.

My 92-year-old grandmother, a former classical dancer, developed macular degeneration that prevented her from seeing her great-grandchildren's faces. Dr. Shetty implemented a customized low-vision rehabilitation program with specialized telescopic glasses. She can now recognize family members across the room and continues to teach dance movements by sight.

As a 78-year-old retired botanist with rapidly progressing cataracts, I feared losing my ability to identify rare plant species. Dr. Shetty performed bilateral cataract surgery using advanced multifocal lenses. Not only can I now distinguish between subtle leaf venation patterns, but I've resumed my botanical illustrations with sharper vision than I had in my 40s.
