Dr. Nikhil is an excellent ophthalmologist. He has been examining my eyes for over 10 years. He performed ICL surgery on my eyes in January 2024. The surgery was smooth and painless, and he was very cooperative to take all my doubts and queries post-op as well. My vision is clearer. Mild side-effects of halos around light sources which I can very easily ignore. Would highly recommend the procedure and Dr. Nikhil!
