Surgeons in Hyderabad
Refractive surgeons at the three centres, so the choice comes down to the surgeon and not the machine. See LASIK machines for the platforms. Almost no centre publishes per-surgeon volumes; only Win Vision does, for its founder.

How they compare
- Most academically credentialed: Dr Pravin Vaddavalli (LVPEI) - Bascom Palmer fellowship, 130+ papers, past president of the Cornea Society of India. LVPEI is also the strongest safety net for a borderline eye.
- Highest published hands-on LASIK volume: Dr Sreelakshmi Nimmagadda (Win Vision) - >25,000 LASIK over 28+ years, and the only surgeon here with a published number.
- At Centre for Sight, Banjara Hills: Dr Varun Malhotra is the resident refractive surgeon (Contoura, SMILE, SILK). The group's headline name is Dr Mahipal Sachdev, but he operates mainly in Delhi.
Caveat: surgical volume is mostly not published, so this is a read of the public record, not a guarantee of outcome. Ask each surgeon directly how many LASIK procedures they personally perform per year, and their personal complication and enhancement rates.
