About Dr. Ranjana Mithal

Dr. Ranjana Mithal is one of Delhi's most respected ophthalmologists, with over four decades of dedicated practice at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital. She brings deep expertise across the full spectrum of eye care — from cataract and glaucoma surgery to vitreoretinal procedures and the management of congenital eye conditions. Patients and families value her for the calm clarity she brings to what can often be a frightening diagnosis.

Her training reflects a genuine commitment to surgical excellence. Beyond her MBBS and MS in Ophthalmology, Dr. Mithal pursued specialist fellowships in microsurgery for the anterior segment in Madras, advanced phacoemulsification techniques at the Agarwal Eye Institute in Chennai, and LASIK training at the Mishra First Eye Research Institute in Hyderabad. That combination of broad academic grounding and hands-on subspecialty training has shaped a practice that is both precise and versatile.

What sets Dr. Mithal apart, in the words of those who have seen her, is her way of making patients feel genuinely heard. She takes time to explain diagnoses clearly, walk through the options available, and help each person — and their family — make confident, informed decisions about their care. She believes that a well-informed patient is a better partner in treatment.

For international patients travelling to India for eye care, Dr. Mithal's base at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital offers world-class infrastructure alongside her decades of clinical experience. Whether you are seeking a solution for a complex cataract, exploring retinal treatment, or managing a chronic condition like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, Gaf Healthcare can help you arrange a consultation with Dr. Mithal smoothly and without stress.
