Ria is extremely happy now that her eyes are clear and she is ready for school. Dr Sunil has prescribed only two eye drops for the wee bit of redness to leave her eyes.
We were advised to go in for the eye correction during the summer vacations as it would give Ria more time to relax and refresh her eye. The sequence therefore was school closing on 31 March, Surgery on 8th April and now all set for a new academic year after a neat month and a half!
Ria's case was not as complicated as the many cases Dr Sunil showed us from his research album. It was interesting that he made a collection of the pre and post conditions of most of his patients in image formats. He explained why the eyes were behaving in peculiar fashions and the different remedies too. Educated and trained with Gold Medals at Mumbai University and further at Glasgow, UK and Cambridge, Dr Sunil was the first surgeon to perform a live demonstration of no-injection key hole cataract surgery here in Kerala in 1999. A thorough learner and a good teacher, he has started an academy for optometry that provides various Diploma Courses recognized by the NCVTE.
His passion for teaching is evident in the way he explains everything in detail. The precision care recommended for eyes and everything to do about it, is palpable when he explains.We would have one more review post two weeks of school, as Dr Sunil would like to see how Ria's eyes are accomodating to long distance attention to blackboards.
After the four weeks rest with minimum TV, no books and no extreme lights, Ria's eyes are better now. She can now happily play on my mobile while I drive her up and down to all her happy destinations. One of which we are just back from; Dr Sunil's EyeWorld, Making vision Perfect.
