My areas of interest in retinal specialty include:
Where did you study?
I am a retinal specialist who completed my medical and ophthalmology training at the prestigious Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGI) in Rohtak, India. I then went on to complete a fellowship in retinal surgery at the Aravind Eye Hospital and Research Centre in Madurai, India.This training has given me the skills and knowledge to provide my patients with the highest quality of care for a wide range of retinal diseases. I am particularly interested in new and emerging treatments for retinal diseases.I am passionate about helping my patients to preserve their vision and live their lives to the fullest.

I am regularly conducting symposiums and instruction courses in European Retina Society Meetings since last 5-6 years.
I have been the brain child behind starting Delhi Retina Forum way back in 2012-2013 which is now one of the best forums to learn and hone the medical and surgical skills in Retina for Retina surgeons from across the globe. Having performed thousands of vitreoretinal surgeries and lasers, I hope to continue helping many more.

What inspired you to choose ophthalmology?
I was fascinated by the amount of surgical skill required to treat eye diseases, especially retinal diseases. The day I saw the retina through my 20D lens after post-graduation, I fell in love with it. The complexity and beauty of the surgeries drew me to this highly competitive field of retinal surgery.
I am passionate about helping my patients to preserve their vision and live their lives to the fullest. I am excited to be a part of this rapidly evolving field and to contribute to the development of new and innovative treatments for retinal diseases
What is the work that you want to dedicate yourself to?
I want to do a lot of work on diabetic retinopathy and have been working on a project called 'Eyebetes' i.e the effect of diabetes on eyes. I am working on educating patients and physicians alike to this dreaded condition. I want to do a lot to bring light to those who are suffering from it and want to prevent it from developing in those who are having diabetes.
Ultimately, my goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of my patients and to help them live their lives to the fullest. I believe that this is the best way to dedicate myself to my work.
What do you do when you’re not at work?
In your leisure time, i enjoy sports (such as badminton and cricket), traveling, and painting. This is a great balance of activities that keep you active, engaged, and creative.
Sports are a great way to stay fit and healthy, and they can also be a lot of fun. Badminton and cricket are both popular sports around the world, and they offer a great way to get exercise and socialize with others.
Traveling is a great way to learn about new cultures and see new places. It can also be a great way to relax and de-stress.
Painting is a creative outlet that can be both enjoyable and relaxing. It can also be a great way to express yourself and explore your imagination

What are the common conditions treated by retina surgeons?
Retina surgeons treat conditions like,1. Retinal detachment, 2. Macular holes, 3. Diabetic retinopathy, 4. Macular degeneration, 5. Retinopathy of prematurity 6. Retinal vein occlusion etc
When should I see a retina specialist?
If you experience sudden vision loss, metamorphopsia (tilting or bending of images), flashes of light, floaters, or notice a shadow over your vision, you should consult a retina specialist immediately.
What is retinal detachment, and how is it treated?
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of the eye due to the formation of retinal holes or horseshoe-tears. Surgery, such as vitrectomy or scleral buckling, is typically required to reattach the retina.
Is retina surgery painful?
Most retina surgeries are performed under local anesthesia or with sedation, making the procedure generally painless. Some discomfort may occur during recovery.
How long is the recovery period after retina surgery?
Recovery can vary depending on the procedure, but patients usually take a few weeks to regain stable vision. Your retina surgeon will provide detailed post-operative instructions.
Can retina surgery restore my vision completely?

What are the risks of retina surgery?
Potential risks include infection, increased intraocular pressure, cataracts, or re-detachment of the retina. However, these risks are minimized with advanced surgical techniques and post-operative care.
Do I need to lie face down after retina surgery?

Is retina surgery covered by insurance?
Many retina surgeries are covered by insurance. It’s best to check with your insurance provider and the hospital for details about coverage and cashless options.
