About Dr. Tarun Kapur

Dr. Tarun Kapur is one of Delhi's most experienced ophthalmologists, with over four decades of practice in eye care. As Senior Director and Head of the Ophthalmology Department at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, he brings a rare combination of surgical skill and clinical depth to every patient he sees. His work spans cataract surgery, glaucoma management, corneal transplants, and oculoplasty — covering the full breadth of what modern eye care demands.

Dr. Kapur completed his MBBS at Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, followed by his MS in Ophthalmology from the same institution in association with the Guru Nanak Eye Centre — one of Delhi's most respected eye hospitals. He went on to complete his Senior Residency at Guru Nanak Eye Centre and later refined his surgical technique with specialised training in phacoemulsification at I Care, Noida. Over the years, he has practised at leading institutions including Apollo Hospital Delhi, Fortis Hospital Vasant Kunj, and Rockland Hospital Delhi, building a career rooted in both academic rigour and hands-on experience.

Patients and their families often speak of Dr. Kapur's calm, unhurried manner. He takes time to explain diagnoses and treatment options in plain language, which families travelling from abroad find particularly reassuring. His academic contributions — including his role as Former Sub Editor of the Indian Medical Association (South Delhi branch) — reflect a doctor who stays engaged with the broader medical community, not just the operating theatre. He was also recognised early in his career with the National Talent Search Scholarship and the Junior Science Talent Scholarship.

For international patients considering eye surgery or specialist consultation in India, Dr. Kapur's four-decade track record at top-tier Delhi hospitals offers a strong foundation of trust. Gaf Healthcare works directly with his team to help you navigate appointments, pre-travel planning, and follow-up care — so your focus stays where it belongs: on getting better.
