Originally, I was referred to a much larger statewide eye care facility/company, but I left that visit feeling uneasy. Everything felt rushed and I never felt like my questions were fully answered. After researching reviews for Dr. Krishnan and The Eye Institute, I asked my eye doctor for a referral there instead, and I'm very glad I did. The staff was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone took their time and made sure things were explained clearly. I never felt rushed during appointments or follow-ups. The team was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. Dr. Krishnan was the biggest reason the experience stood out. He answered every question and concern I had, explained his recommendations clearly, and never made me feel like I was just being moved through a schedule. The cataract procedure itself went smoothly and I've had zero issues afterward. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Krishnan for eye care.

My mother, who is 83 years old, resides in Austin, TX, and is a new patient of Dr. Krishnan at the…read moreEye Institute of Corpus Christi. She had a complicated cataract situation in her left eye and was dreading surgery. Dr. Krishnan allayed her fears and clearly explained the procedure to be performed and the time it takes to recovery. Only necessary tests and steps were taken and my mom's surgery was performed with a lot of care with almost no pain or discomfort to her. Dr. Krishnan is an excellent surgeon with many years of training and experience. Based on my mom's experience, I would highly recommend Dr. Krishnan to anyone having problems with their vision. The post-operative process has been a great experience in itself! Dr. Krishnan himself called my mom periodically to check on how her vision has been progressing. The office staff is extremely nice and caring - thank you Michele, Sonia and Melissa. The surgery nurses, Betty and Becky were also excellent and did a great job of calming my mom's nerves before the cataract procedure. My mom uses a cane - the compact and well-designed clinic faculty helped keep her walking to a minimum and I as a caregiver found the set up very manageable. Dr. Krishnan trained at the Mayo Clinic which I had the chance to visit many years ago - a leader in health care with a tightly integrated care system. It is great to see Dr. Krishnan bring this concept into his clinic and practice in Corpus, TX. I consider my mom a lucky beneficiary of his training! Techno and marketing mumbo-jumbo and "laser this/that" has crept into eye practices everywhere, but for us there is nothing more important than receiving personalized and individualized care - especially for a complicated organ such as the human eye. My mom owes the return of her vision to Dr. Krishnan and his trained staff at the clinic. It is a wonderful feeling! Thank you, Dr. Krishnan!

I had cataract surgery with Dr. Krishnan in June 2025. After surgery, I experienced persistent…read morelight 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.

When I told the receptionist to cancel my appointment and would not be rescheduling she actually apologized and smiled knowingly. Wow.

The technician said I should be able to. I went in telling them my vision is very cloudy and I have eye pain. I was given a prescription for glasses. I went to get glasses and they told me the prescription was written wrong. I called and told them the prescription is wrong and asked again why is my vision so foggy. Then I am told that I do not need glasses right now because my eye needs several more weeks to heal because I had a dense cataract. This is the first time I have heard that. I think the doctor put the wrong lens in my eye. I know he did not put the one I wanted in. Now I have to go to another doctor to find out why I can't see.

I didn't blame my mom for not wanting to see him again. I'm sure he is an amazing doctor, however, he didn't have the best bedside manor around. And every time we see Dr. Sohocki, he always welcomes us with a hug and we exit his office with a hug from him. Sohocki is one of the most lovable doctor's in the Corpus Christi Area. If you are seeking a good eye doctor. Come here and make sure you see Dr. Sohocki, have him as your eye doctor before he decides to retire. They don't make doctor's like him anymore, the pattern was thrown out the window after him.
