Dr. Rahul Bhatia — Consultant Ophthalmologist and Vitreo-Retina Specialist in Delhi NCR

Dr. Rahul Bhatia is a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Vitreo-Retina Specialist at Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 8 years of experience. His qualifications are MBBS and MS.

The second half of his title is what his procedure list is built around. Vitrectomy, retinal detachment surgery, macular hole surgery and epiretinal membrane surgery are the four operations performed inside the back of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration are the two diseases that fill a medical retina clinic, and anti-VEGF intravitreal injection, listed twice on his record, is the drug treatment that holds both. Retinopathy of prematurity extends the same work to premature babies. Cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery and laser glaucoma procedures round out the list.

He took MS in ophthalmology at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital in Delhi, then superspeciality training in vitreo-retina and retinopathy of prematurity at Lady Hardinge Medical College in Delhi. Lady Hardinge is a teaching hospital with a large paediatric service, which is where ROP experience is built. He practises at Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital in Preet Vihar and in Rajouri Garden, both in Delhi.

He is a board-certified ophthalmologist and is recognised in the medical community for expertise in complex eye conditions. He has over 50 publications and presentations at national and international conferences, which is a substantial output for eight years in practice and indicates a surgeon who takes his cases back to the field rather than only through the clinic.
