Dr. Sharanya Rao — Consultant Ophthalmologist in Delhi NCR

Dr. Sharanya Rao is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 5 years of experience. Her qualifications are MBBS, MS and FICO.

Her listed procedures cover the eye from front to back and the structures around it. At the front there is cataract surgery, including phacoemulsification, and corneal transplantation. Glaucoma surgery and laser glaucoma procedures address the pressure inside the eye. Diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration are the two commonest causes of sight loss seen in a general clinic. Orbital surgery, eyelid reconstruction and oculoplastic surgery cover the socket and lids, and congenital eye disorder treatment covers children.

She read MBBS at Goa Medical College and took MS in ophthalmology at Madurai Medical College. She is a Fellow of the International Council of Ophthalmology, and her subspecialty fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology, anterior segment and phacoemulsification was taken at Aravind Eye Hospital in Coimbatore. Aravind is one of the highest-volume eye hospitals in the country, and a fellowship there means cataract technique learned on a very large number of cases. She practises at Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital in New Delhi.

Neuro-ophthalmology, the third strand of that fellowship, is where her published work sits. In 2023 she won the Dr. K. Selvakumari Award for the best paper in neuro-ophthalmology, and she has several indexed publications in ophthalmology and neuro-ophthalmology. She is a board-certified ophthalmologist and is recognised in the medical community for expertise in complex eye conditions.
