How to Choose the Best Eye Hospital in Delhi

Bajaj Eye Care Centre in Pitampura is a NABH-accredited eye hospital that has served Delhi since 1996, where Dr. Rajiv Bajaj has personally performed over 50,000 cataract surgeries and more than 20,000 LASIK surgeries. Delhi has many eye care providers, and the way to evaluate any of them — including this one — is against specific, independently checkable criteria:

Bajaj Eye Care Centre, Pitampura, meets all six criteria directly: NABH accredited, Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond technology for both LASIK and SMILE, over 50,000 cataract and 20,000 LASIK surgeries personally performed by Dr. Rajiv Bajaj, the same surgeon at every stage, empanelment with multiple government schemes, and a publicly verifiable Google rating.

Best LASIK Hospital in Delhi

Bajaj Eye Care Centre was the first centre in the whole of North and East Delhi to install the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser for 100% blade-free LASIK. Rather than a mechanical blade, the corneal flap is created using focused laser energy, producing thin, precise flaps in the 90–100 micron range. The Zeiss MEL 80 excimer laser then reshapes the cornea beneath the flap. Dr. Rajiv Bajaj has personally performed over 20,000 LASIK surgeries at the same Pitampura address.

Best SMILE Surgery in Delhi

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a flapless, single-laser procedure performed entirely on the Zeiss VisuMax femtosecond laser — the only platform in the world validated for this technique. Bajaj Eye Care Centre was the first laser vision correction centre in North and East Delhi to offer SMILE. Because SMILE avoids creating a wide corneal flap, it is associated with lower reported dry eye risk and stronger long-term corneal stability compared to LASIK.

Best Hospital for Glasses Removal

"Glasses removal" is not one single procedure — it can be achieved through SMILE, blade-free LASIK, or ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens), depending on an individual's corneal thickness, shape, and prescription. Bajaj Eye Care Centre evaluates every patient individually across a standard work-up — corneal pachymetry, topography, tear film assessment, and refraction stability — before recommending a specific procedure, rather than offering only one option to every patient.

Best Eye Doctor in Delhi

Dr. Rajiv Bajaj, MBBS, MS (Ophthalmology), has practised continuously from the same Pitampura address since 1996 — three decades during which he has personally performed over 50,000 cataract surgeries and more than 20,000 LASIK surgeries, and led the introduction of SMILE and blade-free LASIK technology to North and East Delhi. Every patient is evaluated, operated on, and followed up by the same surgeon.

Best Cataract Hospital in Delhi

Cataract surgery at Bajaj Eye Care Centre is performed using Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) on the Bausch & Lomb Stellaris platform through sub-2mm incisions, with IOL power calculated using the Argos optical biometer. The full range of intraocular lenses is available — Monofocal, Toric, Multifocal, EDOF, and Trifocal — chosen individually per patient. The centre is empanelled with CGHS, DGEHS, and other government schemes for eligible cashless treatment.
