Write a ReviewDeveloped macular hole affecting my central vision badly - couldn't read or recognize faces clearly. Dr. Karthikeya explained that surgery was the only option and told me honestly about face-down positioning needed after surgery. Many doctors don't prepare you for recovery but he did. Surgery was successful and hole has closed. His attention to detail and honest communication deserve special mention. Very professional doctor.
Was having night blindness and tunnel vision since teenage but no doctor could diagnose. Finally met Dr. Karthikeya who suspected inherited retinal disease and ordered genetic testing. Diagnosis came as Retinitis Pigmentosa. While there's no cure, he explained everything honestly, connected me with support groups, and monitors regularly. His Moorfields fellowship in inherited diseases really helped my case. At least now I understand my condition and what to expect.
Had wavy distorted vision due to membrane on retina. Dr. Karthikeya at Preet Vihar branch did membrane peeling surgery. I was very nervous as it was my first major surgery. He personally checked on me before and after procedure and explained recovery timeline clearly. Vision improved over 2-3 months gradually as he had told. His calm nature gave me lot of confidence. Booked through HexaHealth - very smooth process.
Mujhe wet AMD tha aur aankh mein injection lena pada. Bahut darr lagta tha. Dr. Karthikeya ne pyaar se samjhaya ki injection kaise lagega aur dard nahi hoga. Ab tak 8 injection ho chuke hain aur meri nazr stable hai, aur kharab nahi hui. Wo hamesha Hindi mein samjhate hain aur time dete hain. Bahut achhe insaan hain doctor saab.
I am diabetic since 15 years and was referred to Dr. Karthikeya when my regular doctor found bleeding in retina. He did thorough examination with OCT and explained my condition using actual scan images. I needed laser treatment and injections over 6 months. What I really appreciate is how he coordinates with my diabetes specialist. My vision is stable now and he monitors me every 3 months. Very knowledgeable and caring doctor.
