Dr. Carreen Pakrasi

Dr. Carreen Pakrasi is one of Delhi's most experienced ophthalmologists, bringing over 30 years of dedicated eye care to her patients. As Director of Ophthalmology at Medanta Mediclinic Defence Colony, she is known for her expertise in cataract surgery, refractive procedures, and glaucoma management — as well as her calm, thorough approach that puts patients and their families at ease from the very first visit.

Dr. Pakrasi's medical journey began at MKCG College in Orissa, where she earned her MBBS in 1985. She then went on to complete her MD in Ophthalmology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi — one of the most respected medical institutions in the country. She later added a Post Graduate Diploma in Hospital Management to her credentials, giving her a well-rounded understanding of both clinical excellence and patient-centred care delivery.

Her career has spanned prestigious roles across Delhi. After her senior residency at Safdarjung Hospital, she founded and directed Pakrasi Eye Associates for nearly two decades, building a reputation for trusted, personalised eye care. In 2013, she joined Medanta Mediclinic as Director of Ophthalmology, where she continues to lead with the same commitment to precision and compassion that has defined her practice.

Whether you are seeking treatment for cataracts, glaucoma, or a vision correction procedure, her depth of experience and clear communication offer genuine reassurance at every step.
