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 […]
Most people visit a dentist regularly. They get blood tests done when their doctor recommends it. They schedule annual health check-ups without thinking twice. But when it comes to their eyes — the organs they rely on more continuously than almost any other — they wait until something goes wrong. I see this pattern constantly […]
One of the first questions I am asked after a patient finds out they are a suitable LASIK candidate is: “How much will it cost?” It is a completely reasonable question. LASIK is an elective procedure — insurance rarely covers it, and you are paying out of pocket. You want to understand what you are […]
One of the most important decisions you will make before cataract surgery is one that most patients do not even know they need to make — until they are sitting in a pre-operative consultation. Their surgeon asks: “Which lens would you like?” The artificial lens that replaces your cloudy natural lens during cataract surgery is […]
Most people do not notice a cataract developing. That is the truth. It does not hurt. There is no sudden change. No alarm goes off. The lens inside your eye simply begins to cloud over — gradually, silently, over months or years — until one day you realise that the world looks different from how […]

I know exactly what goes through your mind when you start thinking about LASIK eye surgery. You are tired of reaching for your glasses the moment you wake up. You are done with dry, irritated eyes from contact lenses. You have heard that LASIK changes lives — and you want that too. But here is […]
Your wedding photographs will be looked at for the rest of your life. Fifty years from now, you will pull them out and show your grandchildren. And in every single one of those photographs, you want to look exactly like yourself — naturally, joyfully, without a pair of glasses sitting across your face or the […]
I meet a particular kind of patient at Dr. Rishi Eye Institute fairly regularly. They are young — usually between 18 and 25 — and they come in carrying a dream that has been with them for years. The Indian Army. The Air Force. The Police. The Railways. And somewhere in their preparation, someone told […]
One of the most common questions I hear during LASIK consultations at Dr. Rishi Eye Institute is not “how does LASIK work?” or “how much does it cost?” — it is simply: “Am I even a candidate for this?” It is a fair question. And it deserves a genuinely honest answer — not a sales […]
