About Dr. Rajesh Fogla

Dr. Rajesh Fogla is one of Hyderabad's most respected eye specialists, with over 25 years of dedicated practice in ophthalmology. Based at Apollo Health City in Jubilee Hills, he is particularly known for his expertise in cornea, cataract, and refractive surgery. Patients across India and from abroad seek him out for conditions ranging from routine vision correction to complex surgical challenges that require a steady, experienced hand.

Dr. Fogla's academic journey took him across continents. He completed his foundational medical training in India, earning his MBBS and MS in Ophthalmology, before pursuing advanced fellowship training in the United Kingdom, where he holds both the FRCS from Edinburgh and the FRCOphth from London. He also earned the FACS from the USA and an MMed from Singapore — a training path that reflects both his clinical ambition and his commitment to staying at the forefront of eye care globally.

What patients and their families consistently appreciate about Dr. Fogla is his calm, thorough manner. He takes time to explain what is happening with a patient's vision, what the options are, and what to realistically expect — whether that conversation is about a straightforward LASIK correction or a more involved procedure like a corneal transplant or vitrectomy. His broad surgical repertoire means patients rarely need to be referred elsewhere for a second opinion on complex cases.

For international patients choosing Hyderabad as their destination for eye treatment, Dr. Fogla offers the rare combination of globally recognised qualifications and decades of hands-on Indian clinical experience. GAF Healthcare works directly with his team at Apollo Health City to help overseas patients with appointment scheduling, medical records coordination, and seamless travel support — so the focus stays where it belongs: on getting better vision.
