About Sankalp Nethralaya

Our story
सर्वेन्द्रियाणां नयनं प्रधानम्
“Of all the senses, the eyes are the most important.” This old Sanskrit saying hangs in our clinics, and guides how we care for every patient.
‘Sankalp’ means a firm resolve. Dr. Vinay Patil founded Sankalp Nethralaya with a simple commitment: every patient should be examined carefully, understand their condition, and know their options and costs before deciding on treatment.
What began as a single clinic in HSR Layout has grown into three clinics across Bengaluru. Each one offers the same standard of care, with diagnostic equipment on site so that most tests are done on the day of your visit.
What we believe
- Time with your doctor. Every consultation is with a qualified ophthalmologist, not just a technician.
- Clear explanations. We explain what we find in plain language, with every option and its cost, before you decide.
- No pressure. We recommend what suits your eyes, whether that is a standard lens or a premium one, glasses or surgery.
- Care close to home. Clinics in south-east, north-east and south Bengaluru, open six days a week, with Sunday mornings at Hosa Road and Banaswadi.
Quality and accreditation
- NABH pre-accredited for patient safety and quality of care
- ISO 9001:2015 certified for quality management (certificate number 8418031946)
