I've been going to Coastal Bend Retina for the past few years after dealing with a retinal tear and…read moremultiple follow-up visits. From the beginning, the staff has always been kind, patient, and helpful. Going through retina issues at a much younger age than most people deal with them brought a lot of anxiety for me, especially surrounding my vision and long-term eye health. Everyone there has always treated those concerns seriously and never made me feel rushed or brushed off. Dr. Agarwal has been especially great throughout the process. He's patient with questions, understanding about the nerves that come with eye problems, and takes the time to explain things clearly. When he performed my vitrectomy, everything went smoothly and the experience was much easier than I expected. Great doctor, great staff, and a very well run facility.

I had cataract surgery with Dr. Krishnan in June 2025. After surgery, I experienced persistent…read morelight sensitivity, inflammation, poor contrast, glare, floaters, and visual disturbances that seriously affected my daily life and ability to function. For months, I was treated for uveitis and surface issues, but my vision did not meaningfully improve. During that period, one of the associate doctors told me I had "buyer's remorse." That was deeply discouraging. I was not unhappy with a purchase; I was struggling with poor functional vision after surgery and looking for help. After roughly six months of ongoing symptoms, I had to seek out my own second opinions. Another ophthalmologist identified a possible mechanical issue with the lens, and an anterior segment specialist later diagnosed UGH syndrome due to a lens haptic rubbing my iris, causing pigment erosion, along with vitreous prolapse. I am now scheduled for corrective surgery. I understand that medicine can be complex, but I wish my symptoms had been taken more seriously, that lens positioning had been evaluated more aggressively, and that I had been referred out sooner when I was not improving. I am sharing this so other patients with persistent post-surgical symptoms know to keep advocating for themselves and seek another opinion if something does not feel right.

I asked why such a drastic change and he wouldn't discuss. Tried it and got severe headaches. Fast forward to 2025 and he writes me this message. Yeah dude why would I ever go back to you when you have me severe headaches???? You obviously were high Rasta man! Ps never had an issue before or after you with an optometrist and I have to have my eyes checked annually. Since you obviously don't remember me from YEARS ago, and wouldn't remember me from last week, I am sure you don't know that I don't drink haha. I am not sure why you have suddenly decided to stalk me and harass me, but looking at your reviews from the last couple years it's YOU with the problems. I also am unsure why you would think I would ever come back as you can't even perform a simple eye exam. I gave your business an honest review YEARS ago and you are NOW HARASSING ME??? Dude just STOP ITS CREEPY! And no more friend requests either.
