Dr. Nischitha
Experience: | 2 years |
Education: | Akash Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am currently pursuing my MS in Ophthalmology n slowly learning how to become a confident eye surgeon, one case at a time. My focus is on understanding the full range of eye conditions—from basic stuff like vision issues or dry eye complaints to more complex things like cataracts, glaucoma, corneal disorders, or retina problems. I like working on detail and this field really demands that.. sometimes even a small mistake in surgery or diagnosis can make a big diff. Right now I'm training under guidance for procedures, learning diagnostic tools (slit lamp, fundus exam etc), and seeing real patients everyday. If it’s anything related to eye—blurry vision, red eye, sudden pain or even just a general doubt—I’m open to help you figure it out. |
Achievements: | I am someone who always kept patients well being as the main priority—maybe that’s not a big “achievement” on paper, but honestly it means a lot to me. Whether it’s just a small eye irritation or a post-op followup after cataract, i try to listen properly, not just rush through things. I feel like trust builds when ppl know u care abt what they’re feeling, not just what u see clinically. That’s smthing i really hold onto, no matter how busy or tired the day gets. |
I am currently pursuing my MS in Ophthalmology at East Point hospital, and honestly this phase feels like both a challenge and a privilege. Before joining here I worked for a year in a hospital at Chintamani, where I got real exposure to handling day to day patient flow, emergencies and assisting in procedures. That time helped me realise how important clear communication is with patients, especially when they come scared with vision problems and need reassurance as much as treatment. In my training now, I spend long hours learning surgical techniques, understanding diagnostic tools like slit lamp, fundoscopy, OCT scans, and also keeping up with theory because ophthalmology is one of those fields where tech and knowledge keeps changing fast. Sometimes it gets overwhelming, like juggling clinics, wards and study together, but the hands on learning in cataract, glaucoma and retina cases makes it worth. I also try to give attention to basic but vital areas like refraction errors, diabetic eye disease, and pediatric vision problems, since those are common issues in practice and affect quality of life hugely. What keeps me motivated is knowing that restoring or even protecting sight can completely change a person’s life. Small things like helping a child see better in class or guiding an elderly patient through cataract surgery, they matter more than words. My aim is to grow into a confident ophthalmologist who can balance medical knowledge, surgical skill and human empathy. I know the path is long and maybe a bit rough, but each step, whether in outpatient clinic or operation theatre, feels like moving closer to that goal.
