- Akhilesh BI was suffering from squint (last 43 years). With age I found deterioration of sight in one of the eyes. I had consulted a few doctors but did not get a firm answer for rectifying the issue. I was referred to Dr. Hemalatha as a renouned squint correction surgeon. I shared all my reports with her and she assured complete correction of the squint. Today, as I write this review 4 weeks after my surgery, I am completely cured of the squint problem and the vision is fully rectified. I thank Dr. Hema for wonderfully completing the surgery to restore full vision. She is highly professional, committed and above all a wonderful human being who is very down to earth as well as being extremely talented.
