About Dr. Rajat Kapoor

Dr. Rajat Kapoor is a Senior Consultant Ophthalmologist based in New Delhi, with over 12 years of experience and more than 20,000 ophthalmic surgical procedures performed throughout his career. He currently practises at Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital, Rajouri Garden, where he sees patients ranging from newborns with congenital eye conditions to adults requiring complex cataract or corneal surgery. His particular passion lies in pediatric eye care — helping children see clearly at the earliest possible stage of life.

Dr. Kapoor's training path is one of the most thorough in Indian ophthalmology. He earned his MBBS from Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Maharashtra, then went on to complete a Diploma in Ophthalmology at Joseph Eye Hospital, Trichy — where he graduated as a Gold Medalist. He followed this with a DNB at Sankara Eye Hospital, Coimbatore, and later pursued a prestigious Fellowship in Pediatric Ophthalmology, Neuro-Ophthalmology, and Strabismus at LV Prasad Eye Institute, one of India's foremost eye care centres. His international credentials — FICO from London and FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow — reflect a commitment to global standards of care.

Patients and families consistently appreciate Dr. Kapoor's calm, methodical approach. He takes time to explain diagnoses in plain language, discusses all available options, and builds a treatment plan around each patient's specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula. For parents bringing a child with a squint, a cataract, or a condition detected at birth, his ability to put anxious families at ease is just as valued as his surgical skill.

For international patients travelling through GAF Healthcare, Dr. Kapoor offers the reassurance of internationally recognised qualifications, extensive surgical experience across both paediatric and adult eye conditions, and a hospital infrastructure that meets modern clinical standards. Whether you are seeking a second opinion, planning an elective procedure, or managing a complex diagnosis from abroad, his team works closely with GAF Healthcare to ensure your journey from enquiry to recovery is smooth and well-supported.
