About Dr. Dinesh Talwar

Dr. Dinesh Talwar is a Senior Consultant in Ophthalmology at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, with over three decades of experience caring for patients with a wide range of eye conditions. He is especially well known for his work in cataract surgery, glaucoma management, and complex retinal procedures — areas where his depth of clinical experience genuinely shows in patient outcomes.

After completing his MBBS and MD in Ophthalmology, Dr. Talwar built a career grounded in both careful diagnosis and thoughtful, up-to-date treatment. Over 32 years, he has stayed current with advances in ophthalmic technology, from laser-based glaucoma procedures to modern vitreoretinal surgery techniques like vitrectomy, macular hole repair, and epiretinal membrane surgery. He also manages conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, including anti-VEGF intravitreal injections and corneal transplantation.

Patients and families often comment on how clearly Dr. Talwar explains what is happening with their vision and what to expect from treatment. He takes time with each consultation, making sure concerns are heard before decisions are made. That calm, communicative approach matters a great deal when someone is facing something as personal as a threat to their sight.

For international patients travelling to India for eye care, Dr. Talwar's combination of broad surgical expertise, institutional backing at Apollo's flagship Delhi hospital, and fluency in both English and Hindi makes the entire experience feel manageable and well-supported. Gaf Healthcare coordinates consultations, second opinions, and treatment planning so that patients from abroad can focus entirely on getting better.
