Dr. Sandhya Nayak

An 8-year-old boy from an affluent family was brought in by concerned parents after failing a school vision screening. Dr. Nayak discovered congenital cataracts in both eyes. She performed sequential cataract surgeries with intraocular lens implantation. The child now enjoys normal binocular vision and participates fully in school activities.

A 45-year-old construction worker from a low-income background presented with chemical burn to both eyes from a worksite accident. Dr. Nayak provided emergency irrigation and initiated aggressive medical therapy. Despite severe initial damage, her meticulous follow-up and surgical interventions preserved useful vision in one eye, allowing the patient to maintain employment.

A 33-year-old software professional developed computer vision syndrome with severe dry eyes. Dr. Nayak created a comprehensive management plan including lifestyle modifications, prescription eye drops, and specialized computer glasses. The patient's symptoms resolved completely within 3 months, transforming his work experience.

A 19-year-old college student from a rural background presented with rapidly progressive vision loss. Dr. Nayak diagnosed keratoconus and recommended corneal collagen cross-linking. The procedure halted disease progression, and with specialty contact lenses, the patient achieved 20/25 vision and resumed his engineering studies.

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from a middle-class background presented with sudden vision distortion. Dr. Nayak diagnosed wet age-related macular degeneration and initiated intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. The patient's daughter accompanied her to all appointments. After 6 months of treatment, vision stabilized with significant improvement in quality of life.
