About Dr. S. Nikitha

Dr. S. Nikitha is a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Medical Retina Specialist based at Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad. With over six years of clinical experience, she focuses on retinal disorders, diabetic eye disease, cataract surgery, and glaucoma — bringing both surgical precision and genuine compassion to every patient she sees.

Dr. Nikitha's training journey reflects a real commitment to building deep, specialised expertise. She completed her MBBS at Bhaskar Medical College, Hyderabad, and went on to earn her MS in Ophthalmology from Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences. She then pursued two competitive post-MS fellowships — one in Phacoemulsification at JNMC, Wardha, sharpening her cataract surgery skills, and another in Medical Retina at Nethra Eye Institute, Hyderabad, one of the region's respected centres for retinal care. Her career has spanned multiple reputable institutions across Telangana, giving her exposure to a wide range of patients and clinical settings.

Patients and families often appreciate how clearly Dr. Nikitha explains what is happening with their eyes and why a particular treatment makes sense for them. Whether she is managing a diabetic patient's retinal health over time, performing a cataract procedure, or administering anti-VEGF injections, her approach is careful and unhurried. She has also contributed to published research on retinopathy of prematurity and laser glaucoma treatment — areas she continues to care deeply about in her clinical work.

For international patients travelling to Hyderabad through GAF Healthcare, Dr. Nikitha offers the reassurance of a well-trained specialist who communicates clearly, practises at a recognised hospital, and stays current through active membership in the Hyderabad Ophthalmologists Association and the Telangana Ophthalmological Society. Whether you are seeking a second opinion, a scheduled procedure, or ongoing retinal management, her team is ready to help you plan your care comfortably.
