Dr. Indrish Bhatia

Dr. Indrish Bhatia is one of Delhi's most experienced vitreoretinal surgeons, currently practicing as Senior Consultant in Ophthalmology at Fortis Memorial Research Institute. Over a career spanning more than 18 years, he has built a strong reputation for tackling complex retinal and vitreous conditions — the kind that require both precision and calm clinical judgment. Patients and families travel to him from across India and abroad because they know their sight is in steady hands.

Dr. Bhatia's foundation is exceptional. He completed his MBBS at AIIMS Delhi — one of India's most respected medical schools — before going on to earn his MD in Ophthalmology, and later the FRCS (Ophthalmology) and FICO, reflecting a commitment to international standards of training. His career has taken him through distinguished institutions including the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, Medanta – The Medicity in Gurgaon, and the MM Eyetech Institute in Delhi. At Medanta, he led the VitreoRetina, Uvea and Trauma Services for eight years before joining Fortis Memorial Research Institute.

What sets Dr. Bhatia apart is the sheer depth of his hands-on experience. He has performed over 2,500 complex vitreoretinal surgeries and administered more than 20,000 intravitreal injections — numbers that reflect not just volume, but a wide range of cases that many surgeons rarely encounter. His areas of particular focus include diabetic eye disease, age-related macular degeneration, retinal detachment, uveitis, and eye trauma. He is also actively involved in teaching and research, meaning his approach is always informed by current evidence.

For international patients, Dr. Bhatia offers something beyond technical skill: he communicates clearly, takes time to explain what is happening in plain language, and works closely with the Gaf Healthcare team to ensure a smooth, well-supported experience from arrival to recovery. Whether you are seeking a second opinion on a retinal diagnosis or planning surgery in India, his team is ready to guide you through every step.
