Dr. Rishika Chauhan : Meet Our Doctors
Dr Rishika Chauhan was born in a family of doctors. Since childhood she had seen her Grandfather organising free eye cataract surgery camps to help the less affording and less fortunate. She used to accompany her grandfather while he was organising these camps as well as during the camps.
She saw how patients with No or very poor vision would often come in - supported by a family member - unable to walk even to the washroom as they could not see. And how after surgery they could walk unaided with a smile on their faces - being able to see their loved ones faces.
Her father- A doctor too - taught her - The more you help people and give to the society the more God will smile upon you.
Somewhere all this registered, along with the desire to give people vision - to see the beautiful world around us.
Since a child Dr Rishika knew she wanted to become a doctor and give people the most important sense - the SENSE of SIGHT- VISION.
Dr Rishika Chauhan completed her MBBS from a AJIMS (2003) – after which she pursued her Post Graduation in Ophthalmology - from 2009 from MS Ramaiah Medical College -one of the best medical colleges of Bangalore.

During and post her fellowship Dr Rishika Chauhan taught and trained several young surgeons to hone their skills in cataract surgery.
She authored and published several international papers on LASIK and SMILE surgery in renowned journals of ophthalmology – Journal of refractive surgery and international Journal of ophthalmology.
She is one of the reviewers of articles sent for publication in international Journal of ophthalmology.
Dr Rishika Chauhan went on to work as a Consultant in Vasan eye care Hosur 2014 to 2016 where she performed over 3000 PHACO surgeries.

We went there for the Cataract surgery of my mother. Initially she was afraid of operation but Dr. Rishika Chauhan explained her the whole process and convinced her that everything is going to be smooth. Since my mother is a Diabetic and Hypertension patient moreover, her HB level went down at the time of medical examinations. Operating on her both eyes with this medical condition was not lesser than a task.
The operation was successful and my mom is very relieved. Hospital is well equipped with the latest technology equipments and machines.
