Experience: | 7 years |
Education: | MBBS from KMCRI - Hubli, M.S. from GMC, Guntur. |
Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am an eye specialist who’s worked closely with both OPD and surgical setups—mostly gov hospitals where the flow doesn’t stop, and u kinda learn to adapt fast. I’m used to diagnosing a range of eye diseases, figuring out med plans or surgical intervention depending on what's actually needed, not just what's standard. I’ve assisted in various surgeries, and on my own done eyelid repairs, chalazion excisions, and pterygium surgeries—small stuff maybe, but they really teach you precision. I like procedures that give quick relief... and patients feel it.
I’ve also been part of many eye camps, rural setups mostly. That’s where you see the real gap in access and realise how important early diagnosis is. I try to focus on that even in regular practice. I’m confident with radiological investigations and diagnostic tools—OCT, B-scan, etc., and try to use them wisely, not overload the patient.
For me, eye care isn't just about treatment, it's also about timing. Catching things early changes the outcome completely, and I kinda stick to that thinking always. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda always cared abt doing well academically, like not just passing but really understanding the why of things. I cleared both my MBBS and MS from top govt medical colleges in India—yeah, both with distinction. Honestly, the pressure was crazy but those years really pushed me to hold my ground, especially in tough clinical rotations. The exposure in such high-load setups made me sharper, not just with books but real-life medical decision making too. |
I am Dr. Manogna, an Ophthalmologist—eye specialist surgeon, ya. With 7 years of total medical experience, I’ve seen a good mix of cases, both in OPD and surgeries. I did my MBBS from KMC Hubli, which honestly, anyone from Karnataka knows how hectic n solid the clinical exposure there is. Later I pursued my M.S. Ophthalmology from GMC Guntur, again one of the top govt setups in Andhra Pradesh. Long rounds, 24hr duties, endless case presentations—those days really shaped how I handle things today. I deal with most kinds of eye-related issues—whether it’s diagnosing common vision problems or figuring out the not-so-obvious conditions that affect eye health or even relate to general systemic health. Apart from surgical eye care, I focus a lot on patient counselling... ppl come in scared with blurry vision or pain and they just want clarity (not just in vision but in what's happening, yk?). I try to be patient with explaining it—sometimes in local lang if needed. Am also pretty comfortable with teleconsultations n remote checkups. During covid esp, I got into this telemedicine side seriously—learned how to still catch important signs even without direct slit-lamp or tonometry. Of course nothing beats a proper clinical eye exam, but sometimes the urgency means you have to guide things virtually till they reach a center. I think adapting like that has made my practice more flexible. Anyway, whether it's routine eye checks or managing eye disease longterm, I try to keep my approach simple, honest, and bit personal—not robotic. That helps me connect better and it also helps the patient stick to what they actually need to do for their eyes, long after they leave the clinic.
