About Dr. Srilathaa Gunasekaran
Dr. Srilathaa Gunasekaran is a Senior Consultant Ophthalmologist at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon, with over 13 years of experience in cornea, cataract, and refractive surgery. She is one of the few ophthalmologists in the region who performs the full range of corneal transplant procedures — including full-thickness keratoplasty, lamellar surgeries, endothelial keratoplasty, and keratoprosthesis — making her a trusted choice for patients with complex corneal conditions.
Dr. Srilathaa completed her MD at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, one of India's most respected medical schools. She went on to earn dual fellowships from the All India Collegium of Ophthalmology — in both Cornea and Refractive Surgery — and broadened her expertise further through an observership at the Singapore National Eye Centre. Before joining Fortis, she spent over six years at Medanta the Medicity, Gurgaon, where she built and led the Cornea and Refractive Surgery services from the ground up. During that time, she also initiated the Hospital Cornea Retrieval Program, a meaningful initiative that expanded access to corneal tissue for patients in need.
Patients consistently appreciate her thorough, unhurried consultations. Whether someone is considering LASIK, dealing with keratoconus, or facing a complex cataract, she takes time to walk through the options clearly — helping each person feel informed and confident before any decision is made. Her proficiency with FemtoLASIK, Contoura vision correction, SMILE, and ICL surgery means she can match the right refractive solution to each individual's eye profile rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
For international patients travelling to India for eye care, Dr. Srilathaa's combination of AIIMS training, international exposure, and tenure at two of North India's leading hospitals offers genuine reassurance. She is actively engaged with the broader ophthalmology community through conference presentations and publications, reflecting a commitment to staying at the forefront of her field. Gaf Healthcare coordinates appointments, medical records review, and travel logistics so patients can focus entirely on their treatment.
