About Dr. Mainak Bhattacharyya

Dr. Mainak Bhattacharyya is a Senior Consultant Ophthalmologist based in New Delhi, with a focused practice in glaucoma and cataract care spanning more than a decade. He is particularly well regarded for his work in complex glaucoma cases — including refractory glaucoma and paediatric glaucoma — where precise, timely intervention can make the difference between preserved and lost vision. Patients and referring doctors alike trust him for bringing both surgical skill and careful clinical judgment to every case.

Dr. Bhattacharyya holds an MS in Ophthalmology and a DNB, and has gone on to earn two internationally recognised fellowships: the FICO from the International Council of Ophthalmology and the FAICO in Glaucoma from the All India Collegium of Ophthalmology. This combination of national board certification and international-level training reflects a career built on continuous learning. He currently practises at Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital across their New Delhi locations, one of India's most established eye-care networks.

In the operating theatre, Dr. Bhattacharyya is trained in the full spectrum of glaucoma surgery — from trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage devices to minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and laser-based procedures. He also performs cataract surgery, including in paediatric and congenital cases, as well as treatments for diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and anti-VEGF intravitreal injections. Patients often describe him as someone who takes the time to explain their condition clearly and helps them feel confident about their treatment path.

For international patients travelling to India for eye care, Dr. Bhattacharyya offers access to world-class surgical expertise at a fraction of the cost they might expect at home — within a trusted, accredited hospital environment. Gaf Healthcare can coordinate your consultation, travel arrangements, and follow-up care so the entire experience feels straightforward from day one.
