Patient Experience
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.
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.
After a chemical splash accident in my chemistry lab, I faced potential bilateral corneal damage. Dr. Shetty led an emergency team that performed immediate ocular surface reconstruction. His innovative amniotic membrane transplantation technique saved my vision completely - I returned to research microscopy within six weeks.
Our 6-month-old son was born with congenital cataracts. Dr. Shetty performed delicate infant cataract surgery and prescribed special contact lenses. His team taught us infant vision therapy techniques. Our son now tracks objects normally and is meeting all visual developmental milestones.
As a night shift factory worker with diabetic retinopathy, my declining vision threatened my employment. Dr. Shetty performed targeted laser photocoagulation and arranged for workplace visual accommodations. My vision stabilized, and I received special tinted protective eyewear that reduces glare from machinery lights.
A professional jeweler with presbyopia, I struggled with intricate work. Dr. Shetty proposed a revolutionary solution: refractive lens exchange with extended depth-of-focus lenses. I can now see both my watch mechanisms and distance vision clearly without glasses - something I didn't think possible at age 65.
During a traditional folk art preservation project, I developed severe uveitis from ancient pigment exposure. Dr. Shetty diagnosed this rare occupational hazard and created a treatment protocol that allowed me to continue my cultural preservation work while protecting my vision with specialized protective eyewear.
My teenage daughter, a nationally ranked archer, developed sports-related dry eye affecting her aim. Dr. Shetty developed a unique regimen combining punctal plugs, specialized moisture chamber glasses, and blink rehabilitation exercises. She recently won the national championships with perfect visual comfort.
As a maritime navigator with complex astigmatism, standard corrections failed me. Dr. Shetty designed wavefront-guided LASIK specifically for my profession's needs. I now have exceptional night vision and can distinguish navigation lights at greater distances, making nighttime sailing safer.
After a rare complication from facial paralysis affected my eyelid function, Dr. Shetty performed dynamic eyelid reanimation surgery. The procedure restored both protective blinking and natural appearance. I can now work confidently as a television presenter without worrying about corneal exposure.
