After some reviews and research over a net I selected a SHEKHAR NETRALAYA, JP Nagar for my Lasik procedure. I took appointment with Dr, Vidhyashankar on 27th may 11.
In hospital I first met a middle age counselor and she explained about Lasik and she offered me full package of Lasik for 32K(including scans). Then I paid Rs 250 for registration and consultation fees. I have undergone primary eye test and scan. Once I received reports I met a Doctor, Dr examined my eyes and reports and given a green signal for Lasik procedure. He explained a Lasik procedure through presentation on his computer. Once I convinced, I have fixed a June 10th for surgery.
On June 10th I was on time in hospital with excitement and some nervousness. On the day of surgery they put me on another routine lab blood test which cost 550 Rs. Once the reports arrived they asked me to pay the full surgery amount of 32k and I paid amount and took a receipt.
Around 11am they took me in to operation theatre and Dr, Vidhyashankar started a surgery with explanation. And suddenly disaster strikes, he said that flap was cut irregularly, one side it is thick and other side it is thin, he said we have to halt the procedure, if we carry the surgery I can face a complications like blur foggy vision, Double vision or problems in night vision. On stretcher I became fully nervous. Dr immediately recapped the flap and put thin contact lens for fast healing. Moreover big joke is that doctor was asking me whether to proceed with other eye. Immediately I told to stop the surgery. I was taken out of operation theatre with black glass on operated eye and rested for a while in waiting room. I was totally scared and started worry about my eye and vision. Millions of thoughts started coming in my mind. I was very angry, nervous and fully confused. After some time doctor came and apologized, He started explaining what might went wrong, he said he might not able to cut flap evenly or May be the cutting blade and instrument was problem. Somehow I pissed off and returned with wounded eye. Moreover he has given a 3 eye drops and painkillers. I was fed up of maintaining eye drops doses. I was bed rest for 3 full days with almost closed eyes without having a face wash. Again called me for further follow ups
When I went for follow up I met a hospital Administrator and asked for refund for all payments, after lot of discussion she refuse to pay my full paid amount. She said Consultation and lab tests cannot be refundable. Somehow I managed to get refund of 32K after a week.
I am just waiting for my healthy eye and return to normal vision. vision is still blur, I am not sure whether I can get back to my regular vision.
I went SHEKHAR NETRALAYA for LESIK and returned with full of eye pain, risk, lost peace of mind and lots of disappointments.
