Patient Experience
A 58-year-old factory worker exposed to chemical fumes developed bronchiolitis obliterans. Dr. Manjunath initiated systemic corticosteroids and arranged occupational health assessment. Moderate functional improvement achieved despite permanent disability, with family adapting to new limitations.
A 31-year-old woman with rare lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) sought second opinion. Dr. Manjunath initiated sirolimus therapy and connected her with a specialist network. Disease progression halted over 12 months of targeted treatment.
A 70-year-old man with advanced lung cancer opted for palliative care only. Dr. Manjunath focused on symptom management and quality of life, providing home-based oxygen therapy and coordinating hospice support for peaceful end-of-life care with family involvement.
As a 7-year-old with congenital cataracts, I was terrified of doctors until Dr. Roshmi Gupta knelt to my eye level and explained everything using teddy bear analogies. Her delicate bilateral surgery restored my vision completely—I can now see classroom boards clearly without squinting for the first time.
During a late-night kitchen accident, a splattering oil burn damaged my cornea. Dr. Gupta performed emergency surgery at Manipal Hospital at 2 AM, using innovative amniotic membrane grafting. My vision returned to 20/20 within weeks, with barely any scarring.
My 82-year-old mother with dementia needed glaucoma surgery but fought every examination. Dr. Gupta modified her approach using calming vocal tones and touch therapy. The minimally invasive procedure stabilized her eye pressure without sedation complications.

My 16-year-old son's keratoconus made him withdraw from sports and social life. Dr. Gupta performed corneal cross-linking combined with custom topography-guided PRK. He now plays competitive basketball with 20/15 vision—better than ever before.
As a stroke survivor with limited mobility, my macular degeneration treatment seemed impossible. Dr. Gupta arranged home consultations and developed a telemedicine protocol for injections. My vision stabilized and I regained independence reading and recognizing faces.
During a high-altitude expedition, I developed acute angle-closure glaucoma. Dr. Gupta guided our team via satellite phone through emergency pressure-reducing techniques until helicopter evacuation. Her remote diagnosis saved my optic nerve from permanent damage.
My identical twin and I both needed cataract surgery but had extreme anatomical variations. Dr. Gupta created two completely different surgical approaches using customized lens calculations. We both achieved perfect vision despite our physiological differences.
After decades with prosthetic eyes from childhood trauma, Dr. Gupta designed new ocular implants with micro-cameras that interface with my nervous system. I now perceive light shadows and movement—a technological marvel I never thought possible.
Our family carries a rare genetic disorder causing progressive retinal deterioration. Dr. Gupta established a dedicated research cohort at Manipal Hospital, developing a gene therapy trial that halted vision loss across three generations of our family.
As a classical musician with uveitis flare-ups triggered by performance stress, Dr. Gupta created a unique treatment combining immunosuppressive therapy with biofeedback techniques. I've now maintained remission through 18 international concerts.
A rare parasitic infection from tropical travel damaged my choroid layer. Dr. Gupta collaborated with infectious disease specialists to develop targeted antiparasitic injections delivered directly through the sclera—a world-first approach that saved my eye.
