Originally, I was referred to a much larger statewide eye care facility/company, but I left that visit feeling uneasy. Everything felt rushed and I never felt like my questions were fully answered. After researching reviews for Dr. Krishnan and The Eye Institute, I asked my eye doctor for a referral there instead, and I'm very glad I did. The staff was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone took their time and made sure things were explained clearly. I never felt rushed during appointments or follow-ups. The team was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. Dr. Krishnan was the biggest reason the experience stood out. He answered every question and concern I had, explained his recommendations clearly, and never made me feel like I was just being moved through a schedule. The cataract procedure itself went smoothly and I've had zero issues afterward. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Krishnan for eye care.

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.
