Here is something I want every diabetic patient to hear clearly: diabetes does not just affect your blood sugar — it attacks your eyes. Silently. Gradually. And often without any warning until significant damage has already been done. I have seen patients with type 2 diabetes who felt their vision was perfectly fine — only […]
If you live in Kurukshetra and have been told you need specialist eye care — whether it is for cataract surgery, glaucoma management, LASIK, retina treatment, or even a thorough eye check-up — you have probably wondered: do I need to travel to Chandigarh or Delhi, or is there something closer and equally trustworthy? The […]
Tell me if this sounds familiar. You sit down at your desk at 9 in the morning, and by 2 in the afternoon your eyes feel like sandpaper. Your head is throbbing. The screen in front of you looks slightly blurry no matter how many times you blink. And by the time evening comes, you […]

Have you ever woken up on a Sunday morning with a red, painful eye — and realised that every eye clinic near you is closed? Or finished a long week at work only to find that by the time you are free, the hospital’s OPD has already shut for the day? This is one of […]
As soon as an eye issue affects your day-to-day life, it becomes essential to get proper treatment immediately. However, before seeking treatment, one of the main questions many people ask is, “What is the cost of the treatment?” Here, schemes of government healthcare systems such as ECHS & Ayushman Bharat could prove to be quite […]
This is one of the questions I am asked most frequently after a successful cataract surgery — usually at the one-month follow-up visit, when the patient is seeing clearly for the first time in years and is suddenly worried about losing that clarity again. “Doctor, can the cataract come back?” It is a completely understandable […]
