Looking for an eye doctor, eye specialist or eye number doctor? An ophthalmologist is the medical term for an eye doctor who diagnoses and treats all conditions of the eyes, including weak eyesight, cataracts, glaucoma, retinal problems, dry eyes and diabetic eye disease. Many patients also see an eye doctor for LASIK surgery to remove spectacles. In India, a qualified eye doctor holds MBBS followed by MS (Ophthalmology) or DNB. For cataract surgery, look for an eye specialist experienced in phacoemulsification. For retinal conditions like diabetic retinopathy, seek a vitreoretinal specialist. For removing glasses via LASIK, choose an eye hospital with modern laser equipment.
Mumbai is India's financial capital and home to some of the country's most advanced medical infrastructure. Hospitals like Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani, Tata Memorial, Lilavati and P.D. Hinduja have set benchmarks for specialist care across the country. Patients travel to Mumbai from across Maharashtra and neighbouring states for complex procedures and second opinions.

For eye disease, cataracts, glaucoma or retinal problems, always see a qualified eye doctor.
