About Dr. Vivek Garg
Dr. Vivek Garg is one of Delhi's most trusted eye surgeons, currently serving as Principal Consultant and Head of the Ophthalmology Department at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi. With more than 12 years of experience in comprehensive eye care, he has built a strong reputation for handling everything from routine vision correction to highly complex surgical cases — always with a calm, patient-first approach that puts families at ease.
His training journey reflects a genuine commitment to mastering his craft. Dr. Garg completed both his graduation and post-graduation in eye surgery at M P Shah Medical College in Jamnagar, Gujarat, followed by a dedicated two-year surgical fellowship focused on phacoemulsification — the gold-standard technique in modern cataract surgery. He went on to receive specialized training in glaucoma management and retinal diseases at AIIMS, New Delhi, one of India's most respected medical institutions. He is also a certified Bag-in-the-Lens cataract surgeon, a credential he earned from Antwerp University (UZA) in Belgium, reflecting his exposure to techniques practiced at the highest international level.
Patients and their families often describe Dr. Garg as someone who takes the time to explain things clearly — whether it is the difference between IOL options for a cataract patient or what to expect after retinal detachment surgery. He has performed over 10,000 cataract surgeries across his career and manages a wide range of conditions including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, congenital eye disorders, and corneal disease. That breadth of experience means fewer referrals and more continuity of care for the people he treats.
For international patients, Dr. Garg offers something particularly valuable: world-class surgical expertise within a hospital that is well set up to support medical travelers. BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital is a recognized destination for patients coming from across South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Through GAF Healthcare, appointments, travel coordination, and pre-consultation queries can all be managed smoothly — so patients can focus entirely on getting well.
