Searching for the best eye doctor in Delhi usually surfaces a long list of hospitals, chains, and directory listings — but the question a patient actually needs answered is simpler: who is the specific doctor who will examine my eyes, decide on my treatment, and perform my surgery, and how much experience does that individual doctor genuinely have? Dr. Rajiv Bajaj has practised ophthalmology from the same address in Pitampura, North Delhi, since 1996 — three decades during which he has personally performed over 50,000 cataract surgeries and more than 20,000 LASIK procedures.
This page focuses specifically on the doctor, not the hospital brand, because in eye surgery the individual surgeon's hands-on experience is often the single most decisive factor in outcome.
Many patients assume that a larger, newer, or more heavily marketed hospital automatically means better care. In ophthalmology specifically, this is not necessarily true. Dr. Bajaj has operated from the same Pitampura address for thirty years — not as part of an expanding multi-city chain with rotating consultants, but as a single, continuously practising surgeon whose patient relationships often span decades. Patients who had SMILE surgery here years ago now bring their parents for cataract evaluation. Families whose child had squint surgery return for the next child's eye check.
This kind of continuity is unusual in Delhi's eye care landscape, where high-volume hospital chains frequently rotate surgical teams across multiple locations. At Bajaj Eye Care Centre, the doctor who examines you in the consultation room is the same doctor who operates on you, and the same doctor who reviews your healing at every follow-up.
Over 50,000 cataract surgeries personally performed, using Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) through sub-2mm incisions on the Bausch & Lomb Stellaris platform, with the full premium IOL range available — Monofocal, Toric, Multifocal, EDOF, and Trifocal lenses.
More than 20,000 LASIK surgeries performed. Dr. Bajaj led the introduction of the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser to Bajaj Eye Care Centre, making it the first centre in North and East Delhi to offer 100% blade-free LASIK.
Bajaj Eye Care Centre, under Dr. Bajaj, was the first laser vision correction centre in North and East Delhi to offer SMILE on the Zeiss VisuMax platform — the only globally validated system for this procedure.
Beyond refractive and cataract surgery, Dr. Bajaj's practice covers glaucoma diagnosis and management, medical and surgical retina, oculoplasty, keratoconus (C3R corneal cross-linking), dry eye evaluation, and paediatric ophthalmology and squint — meaning patients are not routinely referred elsewhere for related eye conditions.
