About Dr. Ashu Agarwal

Dr. Ashu Agarwal is a seasoned ophthalmologist based at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi, one of India's most respected tertiary care centres. With over 25 years of clinical experience, he has built a reputation for handling both routine and highly complex eye conditions — from cataract surgery to intricate retinal and vitreoretinal procedures. Patients and families often describe him as thorough, patient, and genuinely invested in helping people preserve their vision for the long term.

Dr. Agarwal holds an MBBS followed by an MS in Ophthalmology, giving him a strong foundation in both general medicine and the surgical precision that eye care demands. Over his career, he has developed particular depth in retinal surgery, glaucoma management, and corneal care — areas where timely, skilled intervention can make a meaningful difference to a patient's quality of life.

What sets Dr. Agarwal apart, according to those who have been under his care, is the time he takes to explain a diagnosis and walk patients through their options in plain language. Whether someone is coming in with a newly detected cataract or a more urgent condition like retinal detachment, his approach is calm, methodical, and centred on what the patient actually needs.

For international patients travelling to India for eye treatment, Dr. Agarwal's base at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital is a significant advantage. The hospital is internationally accredited and well-equipped for advanced ophthalmic procedures, including vitrectomy, corneal transplants, and anti-VEGF injections for macular conditions.
