About Dr. Sandeep Kataria

Dr. Sandeep Kataria is a Consultant Ophthalmologist based in Mumbai with over eleven years of hands-on experience caring for patients with a wide range of eye conditions. Practicing at Wockhardt Hospital — one of Mumbai's well-regarded multi-specialty institutions — he brings together strong clinical training and a calm, patient-centred approach that puts people at ease from the very first visit.

Dr. Kataria completed his MBBS before going on to earn a Diploma in Ophthalmic Medicine and Surgery (DOMS) and the Diplomate of National Board qualification in Ophthalmology (DNB). This layered training gave him a thorough grounding in both the medical and surgical sides of eye care, and over the years he has built real-world expertise across cataract surgery, glaucoma management, refractive procedures like LASIK, SMILE and ICL, as well as complex retinal conditions including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and retinal detachment.

Patients and families often appreciate how Dr. Kataria takes time to explain what is happening with their vision in plain, understandable language — no unnecessary jargon, just honest guidance about options and what to expect. Whether someone is coming in with a routine concern or facing a more involved surgical decision, his goal is always to make sure they feel informed and confident before any step is taken.

For international patients travelling to India for eye care, Mumbai is a practical and well-connected destination, and Wockhardt Hospital offers modern diagnostic and surgical facilities. Dr. Kataria is comfortable working with patients from abroad and understands the additional questions that come with planning treatment from overseas. Gaf Healthcare can assist with consultations, travel coordination and follow-up care, making the entire process as straightforward as possible.
