Honors, Achievements & Presentations

Honors & Recognitions

Twice awarded the Best Resident Award during residency at the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, in recognition of academic excellence and surgical skill.

Honored by the Indian Refractive and Cataract Surgery Society (IRCS) for establishing one of the largest and most advanced eye hospitals in North India.

Recipient of the Gold Medal from the IRCS for being the first to introduce phacoemulsification cataract surgery in the state, marking a revolutionary shift in cataract care.

Pioneering Achievements of DD Eye Institute

DD Eye Institute has consistently led advancements in ophthalmic care, pioneering numerous technologies and techniques in North India and beyond. Key milestones include:

1994 – First in the region to introduce sutureless cataract surgery using the phacoemulsification technique, setting a new standard in minimally invasive eye surgery.

1996 – Pioneered the implantation of foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs), enhancing post-surgical recovery and visual outcomes.

1997 – Among the earliest adopters of Topical Phacoemulsification, allowing cataract surgery without injections or stitches.

1997 – Introduced multifocal IOL implantation, offering patients freedom from glasses for near and distance vision.

2001 – Launched LASIK laser surgery, providing a reliable and permanent solution for spectacle removal.

2007 – Initiated Toric IOL implantation to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery, greatly improving visual clarity.

2008 – Adopted OCT imaging technology for in-depth, microscopic-level diagnosis and treatment of retinal and glaucoma disorders.

2010 – Began accommodative lens implantation, enabling dynamic vision correction that adjusts naturally with eye movement.

2010 – Introduced advanced retinal surgery using the American Accurus Vitrectomy System, enabling high-precision management of complex retinal diseases.

2010 – Started ICL lens implantation, offering a safe and effective alternative to LASIK for patients with high refractive errors or thin corneas.

2014 – Launched the International Phacoemulsification Fellowship Program, training ophthalmologists worldwide in advanced cataract surgery techniques.
