Dr. Bhavatharini M — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Bhavatharini M is a Senior Consultant at Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 13 years of experience in ophthalmology. Her qualifications are MBBS, MS, DNB, FICO, MRCS, FRCS and FCAS.

Her surgical range covers the front of the eye and the pressure inside it. Cataract work is listed as phacoemulsification as well as in general terms. Corneal transplantation and keratoconus treatment sit beside refractive surgery in three forms, LASIK, SMILE and implantable collamer lens, so a cornea that has thinned and a cornea that simply focuses badly are handled by the same surgeon. Glaucoma surgery and laser glaucoma procedures, diabetic retinopathy and congenital eye disorder treatment complete the list.

She read MBBS at JJM Medical College in Davangere under RGUHS in Bengaluru, then took both MS and DNB in ophthalmology at Joseph Eye Hospital in Trichy. Her fellowship in cornea and anterior segment disorders was taken at Aravind Eye Hospital in Coimbatore, and she holds FICO from the International Council of Ophthalmology in London, MRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow. She has previously worked at LV Prasad Eye Institute and Pushpagiri Eye Institute in Hyderabad.

Teaching is a large part of her record. She has mentored more than 25 long-term fellows and residents and trained more than 100 ophthalmologists in hands-on cataract techniques covering SICS, MICS and advanced phacoemulsification. She has more than 10 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters with Jaypee and Springer, and a best paper award from Keracon 2017.
