"I was not able to see before due to cataract. I underwent cataract surgery with just anaesthesia eyedrops. The experience was very good and comfortable. Now I am able to see very clearly."
Dr. Amit is by far the most genuine, learned and excellent ophthalmologist I've come across. Went to his clinic with my 1.5 months old baby for ROP Screening. The way he explained the intricacies of ROP Screening, eyes and the development of it was truly admirable. Would highly recommend him to any one looking out for an Eye Specialist.
I am extremely impressed! Dr Amit explained everything patiently and in detail, he diagnosed my eyes with various tests and talked to me about ways in which I can care for my eyes. He was excited to have conversations and answer our doubts and the staff and other doctors were warm and supportive too. I would highly recommend this eye clinic... After a visit you will certainly have a better understanding of how your eye works and what precautions you can take for keeping your eyes safe.
