A second opinion helps you decide on eye surgery with confidence. If you have been advised cataract surgery, LASIK, ICL, retina treatment or glaucoma surgery elsewhere, our specialists in Malleshwaram can review your reports, re-examine your eyes and tell you plainly whether surgery is needed now, which option suits you and what to expect.
When a second opinion makes sense
- You were told you need surgery but your vision feels fine
- You were offered several lens or laser options and are unsure which to choose
- You were told you are not suitable for LASIK and want to know about alternatives
- The treatment involves injections or repeated procedures, such as for diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration
- A previous surgery did not give the result you expected
- You simply want to hear it from another specialist before you commit
How it works
1. Share your reports
WhatsApp us your prescriptions, scan reports (OCT, topography, biometry, fields) and the surgeon’s advice. This helps us plan which tests to repeat.
2. Full examination
A specialist from the relevant department examines your eyes. Tests are repeated only where they add something.
3. A clear answer
You get a clear opinion: whether surgery is needed, the timing, the options that suit your eyes, and the trade-offs of each. If our advice matches what you were told, we will say so.

Second opinion FAQs
Do I need to bring my old reports?
Yes, please. Older reports show how your condition has changed over time, which matters for decisions like cataract or glaucoma surgery.
Will I have to repeat all the tests?
Not always. Recent, good-quality scans can often be used. Measurements that decide lens power or laser eligibility are usually repeated on our machines.
Can I get a second opinion online?
We can look at your reports first over WhatsApp, but a reliable opinion on surgery needs an eye examination in person.
