Our eye surgeon
At ReNew Vision Eye Hospital in Vaddem, Vasco, patients are examined and treated by our eye surgeon, in the Eye OPD (Monday to Saturday, 4 pm to 7 pm) and for emergencies at any hour. The surgeon's name, degrees and medical registration number will appear on this page as soon as they are confirmed.
This page is short on purpose. Indian medical rules ask doctors to keep public information about themselves factual, so this page will carry only facts: the name, degrees, medical registration number and the areas of eye care. Until those details are confirmed for the website, it describes the role rather than the person.
Who will examine my eyes?
Our eye surgeon examines patients in the Eye OPD and decides with you on any treatment. An eye surgeon (ophthalmologist) is a medical doctor trained to diagnose and treat eye disease, both with medicines and with surgery. This is different from an optometrist, who is trained to test vision and prescribe spectacles and contact lenses but does not operate.
What eye care is done at ReNew Vision?
- complete eye check-ups, children's eye check-ups, colour vision tests and eye fitness certificates

The full list, with a page for each speciality, is on the eye specialities page. For cataract, see cataract surgery at ReNew Vision.
What is referred elsewhere?
The LASIK laser itself, retina laser, eye injections for retina disease and retina surgery, including surgery for retinal detachment, are not done here. When you need one of these, the eye doctor explains why and refers you, and your follow-up check-ups can continue at ReNew Vision.
How can I check an eye doctor's registration?
Every doctor who practises medicine in India must be registered with a State Medical Council or the National Medical Commission (NMC). Once our eye surgeon's registration number is shown on this page, you can check it yourself on the NMC website. Checking a doctor's registration is a sensible step before any surgery, wherever you have it done.
What should I ask at my first visit?
It helps to write your questions down before you come. Questions worth asking include:
- What is causing my symptoms?
- What are my treatment options, including waiting and watching?
- What happens if I do not have the treatment now?
- Which parts of the treatment are done here, and which would be referred?
- How many visits will I need, and will I be able to travel home on my own?
- What will the treatment cost? The fee is explained at the consultation.
