Dr. Gaurav Suryawanshi

An 8-year-old girl from an affluent family in Adyar was brought in with complaints of headaches and difficulty reading. Dr. Suryawanshi discovered accommodative insufficiency and prescribed vision therapy instead of immediate glasses. Through 12 weeks of structured exercises monitored via teleconsultation, her symptoms completely resolved without optical correction.

A 35-year-old software engineer developed unusual photophobia and rainbow halos around lights. Dr. Suryawanshi identified pigment dispersion syndrome with elevated IOP. Instead of traditional medications, he performed selective laser trabeculoplasty. The patient returned to coding within 48 hours with dramatically improved symptoms and normalized pressure.

A 58-year-old construction worker from a low-income background presented with a penetrating eye injury from flying debris. Dr. Suryawanshi performed emergency corneal repair and lens removal. Despite limited follow-up access, he arranged free medications through hospital charity and taught the patient's daughter how to administer eye drops via video call.

A 42-year-old classical dancer with keratoconus had rejected corneal transplantation for years due to performance anxiety. Dr. Suryawanshi performed custom corneal collagen cross-linking with topography-guided PRK. After 6 months of recovery with specialized contact lenses, she returned to stage with 20/25 vision and no glare issues.

A 72-year-old retired fisherman from coastal Tamil Nadu presented with sudden vision loss in his right eye, diagnosed with central retinal artery occlusion. Despite the critical time window having passed, Dr. Suryawanshi initiated ocular massage and anterior chamber paracentesis. Though permanent central vision loss occurred, peripheral vision was preserved. The patient adapted using eccentric viewing techniques with support from his fishing community.
