Dr. Ravinderan Krishnan, MD

I had cataract surgery with Dr. Krishnan in June 2025. After surgery, I experienced persistent light sensitivity, inflammation, poor contrast, glare, floaters, and visual disturbances that seriously affected my daily life and ability to function. For months, I was treated for uveitis and surface issues, but my vision did not meaningfully improve. During that period, one of the associate doctors told me I had “buyer’s remorse.” That was deeply discouraging. I was not unhappy with a purchase; I was struggling with poor functional vision after surgery and looking for help. After roughly six months of ongoing symptoms, I had to seek out my own second opinions. Another ophthalmologist identified a possible mechanical issue with the lens, and an anterior segment specialist later diagnosed UGH syndrome due to a lens haptic rubbing my iris, causing pigment erosion, along with vitreous prolapse. I am now scheduled for corrective surgery. I understand that medicine can be complex, but I wish my… symptoms had been taken more seriously, that lens positioning had been evaluated more aggressively, and that I had been referred out sooner when I was not improving. I am sharing this so other patients with persistent post-surgical symptoms know to keep advocating for themselves and seek another opinion if something does not feel right.

Caring Doctor and Great office staff!

Dr. Krishnan treats myself, my husband and my sister. Whenever an urgent situation arises he is always more than happy to squeeze us onto the schedule. I have the utmost faith and trust in the care he provides my family. Dr. Krishnan is ethical, professional and caring about all his patients. His staff is always courteous and professional.

Dr. Krishnan talked me into an elective tear duct probe that he claimed was successful 80% of the time. What he didn't tell me and I found out afterward is that if tear ducts are 90 to 100% blocked as mine are, the success rate is ZERO. His office quoted me an insurance co-pay that turned out to be only for one eye, but both eyes were done, so my costs almost doubled in out-of-pocket expenses. I was told the post-surgical follow up was free, but I was billed. I feel I was pressured into a completely ineffective surgery so the doctor and his office could take money from a widow of a veteran and her insurance company with no possibility of success. I have approached the doctor in writing and called his office to request a refund with no response whatsoever. Next stop has to be a complaint to the insurance company.

I have known Dr. R. Krishnan for years and have always found him to be a pleasant and professional physician. I have seen his work first hand in surgery and his medical documentation, so when my eye doctor referred me to Dr. R. Krishnan, I was more than pleased and my mind was at ease.

Great experience

Don't trust your eyes or your wallet with this rude, incompetent dr. Everything seems ok till he gets into your ins or wallet.

Extremely pleased with my cataract surgery results.

Excellent doctor with great personality. Kows his business and goes about it in a business like manner.
