FeaturedDr. E Ravindra Mohan
Dr. E Ravindra Mohan is one of Chennai's most respected eye specialists, with more than three decades of experience in ophthalmology. As Director and Senior Consultant at Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai, he leads a team focused on complex eye conditions — from cataracts and glaucoma to delicate orbital and eyelid reconstruction procedures. Patients and peers alike know him for combining deep clinical expertise with a calm, reassuring presence that puts families at ease. Throughout his career, Dr. Mohan has built a particular reputation in oculoplasty, orbit, and trauma services — a subspecialty that addresses some of the most functionally and emotionally sensitive conditions affecting the eye and its surrounding structures. He has held leadership positions in several professional bodies, including serving as Secretary of the Oculoplasty Association of India and Secretary of the Ophthalmological Research Association. He has also been an active voice at over 75 invited talks across local, national, and international forums, covering scientific presentations, papers, posters, and instruction courses. Dr. Mohan is passionate about advancing eye care beyond the clinic. He was an early contributor to tele-ophthalmology in India, participating as an expert in tele-consultation through ISRO's nationwide TeleMedicine network — helping patients in remote areas access specialist eye care. He also dedicates time to teaching and mentoring postgraduate ophthalmology students, and serves as a scientific reviewer and editor for medical journals in his field. For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Mohan offers a combination that is hard to find: breadth of surgical expertise, a strong academic foundation, and the infrastructure of a JCI-accredited hospital. Whether you are exploring cataract surgery, a corneal transplant, or a more complex orbital procedure, his team works closely with Gaf Healthcare to ensure your care journey — from first inquiry to follow-up — is smooth, transparent, and well-supported.

How to Select the Best Doctor for Cataract Surgery in Chennai, India?
Choosing the right ophthalmology surgeon for cataract surgery is one of the most important decisions in your treatment journey. A few factors are worth weighing before you decide:
Experience and Expertise
Look for a surgeon with a strong track record in cataract surgery specifically, not just ophthalmology in general. Years of listed experience — shown on every profile below — is a reasonable starting point.
Specialization
Check that the doctor's listed procedures actually include cataract surgery (see the doctor cards below) rather than only general ophthalmology.
Hospital Affiliation
The hospital matters as much as the surgeon. Look for an accredited centre with a dedicated ophthalmology unit, ICU support, and experience treating international patients — see "Hospitals where these doctors operate" below.
Communication and Second Opinions
You should be able to get clear answers about your case before committing to travel. Ask for a written second opinion on your reports, in a language you're comfortable in, before you decide.
Transparent Costs
Ask for an itemised, all-inclusive estimate — surgeon's fee, hospital charges and stay — before you travel, so there are no surprises once treatment begins. Our cost calculator (linked below) gives a starting estimate.
