Expertise

I am happy to answer any questions on eye care. My expertise is in Laser Eye surgery (LASIK, Epi LASIK), Multifocal Implants, Cataract, Glaucoma and procedures for Corneal abnormalities like Keratoconus - Corneal Collagen Crosslinking C3R

Experience in the area

OF LASIK, We are one of the first centres to use the wavefront guided LASIK or custom LASIK procedures and the only center in India using the most safest,accurate and fastest excimer laser in the world- 'The Wavelight Concerto, 500 Hz laser'. Doctors from various parts of the world train with me and few other experts in Germany each year on our wavefront procedures. Our centre is the first eye hospital to be awarded the highest certfication in healthcare- the Joint Commission International (JCI from USA) and is also the referral centre for our Wavelight Laser Technologies, Germany in India. We have treated patients from 89 countries and this list keeps growing as more and more patients are getting increasingly aware of the benefits of treatment with advanced technology in laser eye surgery.

What do you like about this subject?

I have seen how LASIK or laser vision correction has changed people's lives and it makes me feel good to have played a role in that

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I keep updating myself in this field with newer equipment, technology, surgical techniques etc. It is always keeping on the top of the optical edge!

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

LASIK has many advances which make this procedure more safe, accurate and comfortable for the patients, hence every patients needs to understand importance of advancements in this technology

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

One needs to understand fully the need for technology + surgical expertise + good patient eligibility
