Surgery is only one part of what we do at Drishti Netralaya. For decades, we have built a culture where young ophthalmologists and optometrists learn by doing, not just by watching from the sidelines.
Our fellows train under senior consultants who have performed thousands of surgeries between them. Backed by a high patient volume and structured, one-on-one mentorship, every fellow who joins us leaves with the confidence and skill to operate independently.
In 1988, our founder, Dr. Ramesh Agarwalla would travel to Aravind, Madurai for Phaco training due to lack of training facilities in the North East.
Today, Drishti is one the leading institutes in the country for SICS and Phaco cataract fellowships. We also offer an optometry internship program.
At Drishti Netralaya, we not only perform surgeries but also cultivate a culture of continuous learning and growth. With a robust surgical volume and mentorship from seasoned supervisors, our fellows gain invaluable hands-on experience, ensuring they are primed for excellence in their future endeavours.
