About Dr. Akshi Sharma

Dr. Akshi Sharma is an ophthalmologist based in New Delhi with a focused expertise in diseases of the retina and vitreous. Over more than a decade of clinical practice, she has built a reputation for managing complex conditions like retinal detachment, macular holes, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration — conditions that can be sight-threatening if not caught and treated in time.

Her academic journey reflects a commitment to excellence from the very start. She completed her MBBS at the University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS) in Delhi, followed by an MS in Ophthalmology from Lady Hardinge Medical College — both highly regarded institutions in the country. She then earned her DNB from the National Board of Examinations and went on to complete a rigorous long-term fellowship in Vitreo-Retina, Uvea, ROP, and Cataract Surgery at L.V. Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) in Hyderabad, one of the most respected eye care centres in Asia.

Patients and their families often describe Dr. Sharma as someone who takes the time to explain things clearly — whether that's walking a diabetic patient through why their vision is changing, or helping a parent understand a premature infant's ROP screening results. Her approach combines clinical precision with genuine care, and that balance is something her patients consistently notice.

For international patients travelling to India for eye care, Dr. Sharma offers a trusted combination of advanced training, hands-on experience with intricate retinal surgeries, and a practice set up to handle both routine and complex cases. GAF Healthcare works directly with her team to make the process — from initial enquiry to post-operative follow-up — as smooth as possible for patients coming from abroad.
