Why Andheri Patients Choose Sentra Over Local Options
Andheri has hundreds of optometrists, spectacle shops, and general-practice clinics that offer basic eye tests. But when you need a surgical opinion β LASIK eligibility assessment, cataract evaluation, retinal examination, or glaucoma pressure testing β the difference between a refraction counter and a surgical eye hospital matters enormously.
Fellowship-Trained Surgeons β Not Visiting Doctors
Dr. Rohit Modi (FRCS Glasgow, ICO Fellowship) and Dr. Shraddha Surekha are permanently based at Sentra Clinic. Your consultation, surgery, and follow-up are all handled by the same surgeon β never handed to a junior or technician.

OCT scanner, corneal topographer (for LASIK mapping), visual field analyser, specular microscope, A-scan biometry for IOL calculation β all under one roof. No referrals to outside labs for pre-surgical tests.
Dedicated Eye Hospital with In-House OT
Sentra has its own operating theatre. LASIK, cataract, retinal procedures and oculoplasty are all performed on-site β not outsourced to a rented theatre in a general hospital.
Transparent Pricing β No Package Pressure

What Our Andheri Patients Say
"I had been putting off LASIK for years because I was getting different numbers and prices from different places in Andheri. A colleague mentioned Dr. Modi. The pre-op evaluation was the most thorough I had experienced β he showed me my corneal topography map and explained exactly why I was a Contoura candidate, not standard LASIK. Three weeks post-surgery I am seeing 6/6. The journey from Andheri took 20 minutes and was totally worth it."
β Priya Mehta, Andheri West Β· Contoura Vision Surgery"My father developed a dense cataract and I took him to three hospitals in Andheri and Bandra. All quoted high prices and couldn't clearly explain which IOL was right for him. At Sentra, Dr. Modi sat with us for 30 minutes, showed us the A-scan results, and recommended a toric IOL because of my father's astigmatism. The surgery was smooth and he no longer needs glasses for distance at all. Couldn't be happier."
