About Dr. Sukanya Meikandasivam
Dr. Sukanya Meikandasivam is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Gleneagles Hospitals in Bengaluru, bringing over 15 years of dedicated eye care experience to her patients. She works across a broad range of conditions — from common vision problems to complex surgical needs — making her a trusted name for families and individuals seeking comprehensive ophthalmic care in the city.
Dr. Sukanya holds an MBBS in general medicine along with a Diploma in Ophthalmology (DO), a combination that gives her a strong foundation in overall patient health as well as focused expertise in the eye. Over her career, she has built hands-on experience in cataract and glaucoma surgery, retinal treatments, corneal procedures, and vision correction — covering much of what a patient might need under one specialist's care.
What patients consistently appreciate about Dr. Sukanya is how she listens. She takes time to explain what is happening with a patient's vision, what the options are, and what to realistically expect — in language that makes sense rather than jargon that confuses. Her approach is calm, unhurried, and genuinely patient-centred, which matters a great deal when someone is anxious about their eyesight.
For international patients travelling to Bengaluru for eye treatment, Dr. Sukanya offers a reassuring combination of clinical depth and personal warmth. Whether you are seeking a second opinion, planning an elective procedure like LASIK, or managing a chronic condition such as diabetic retinopathy, GAF Healthcare can help you connect with her and arrange everything from your first consultation through to your follow-up care.
