Dr. Gaurav Suryawanshi Reviews

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.

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 premature neonate from a rural family was diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity during a screening camp. Dr. Suryawanshi arranged immediate transport to MIOT and performed laser photocoagulation within hours. The family received accommodation support, and the child maintained normal visual development at 2-year follow-up.

A 67-year-old retired teacher with diabetic retinopathy developed vitreous hemorrhage right before her granddaughter's wedding. Dr. Suryawanshi performed urgent vitrectomy with minimal anesthesia. She recovered sufficiently to attend the ceremony 5 days later, viewing it through temporary gas bubble distortion that she humorously called 'my fairy tale filter'.

A 19-year-old college student from Northeast India presented with unusual bilateral uveitis. Dr. Suryawanshi diagnosed Behçet's disease, a rare finding in that demographic. He coordinated with rheumatology and initiated immunosuppressive therapy. The student continued studies remotely during treatment, with visual acuity maintained at 20/20.

A 50-year-old auto-rickshaw driver with poor literacy developed advanced glaucoma in both eyes. Dr. Suryawanshi created pictorial medication charts and installed alarm apps on the patient's basic phone. Through this low-tech compliance system, IOP remained controlled without surgery for 3 years and counting.

A 29-year-old pregnant woman developed central serous chorioretinopathy exacerbated by pregnancy hormones. Dr. Suryawanshi managed her conservatively with lifestyle modifications and monitoring. The condition resolved spontaneously postpartum, and she delivered a healthy baby with no visual sequelae.

A 81-year-old war veteran with age-related macular degeneration had failed multiple anti-VEGF treatments. Dr. Suryawanshi switched to a newer port delivery system, reducing injection frequency from monthly to twice yearly. The veteran's travel burden decreased dramatically while maintaining stable vision.

A 13-year-old boy from an orphanage presented with congenital cataracts missed in childhood. Dr. Suryawanshi performed bilateral cataract extraction with premium IOLs. Post-operatively, the boy discovered colors and details for the first time, with volunteers teaching him visual recognition skills previously underdeveloped.
