I came here to get my eyes operated on for cataract and I tell this from my experience that Dr. Shaila is not just a highly qualified surgeon but she is a very good human being also. She explains everything in detail about the surgery, about the lenses that are good for your eyes, what you should select and what not to select and everything from the beginning to the end.
