Expertise
I am happy to answer any questions on eye care. My expertise is in Laser Eye surgery (LASIK, Epi LASIK), Multifocal Implants, Cataract, Glaucoma and procedures for Corneal abnormalities like Keratoconus - Corneal Collagen Crosslinking C3R
Experience
OF LASIK, We are one of the first centres to use the wavefront guided LASIK or custom LASIK procedures and the only center in India using the most safest,accurate and fastest excimer laser in the world- 'The Wavelight Concerto, 500 Hz laser'. Doctors from various parts of the world train with me and few other experts in Germany each year on our wavefront procedures. Our centre is the first eye hospital to be awarded the highest certfication in healthcare- the Joint Commission International (JCI from USA) and is also the referral centre for our Wavelight Laser Technologies, Germany in India.
We have treated patients from 89 countries and this list keeps growing as more and more patients are getting increasingly aware of the benefits of treatment with advanced technology in laser eye surgery.

Laser Eye Surgery - laser surgery after lens replacement
Expert: Dr Anand Shroff, MD, FICS - 10/6/2008
Question
QUESTION: Is it possible to get laser after having glaucoma lens replacement? If possible what is the risk of dislodging the replacement lens?
ANSWER: Dear Steve,
The Galucoma surgery and lens replacement are two separate issues. Also, there are different lasers in eye care for different conditions...which one are you refering to?
This will help me suggest more specifically.
Hope this helps,
Best,

QUESTION: I realized that I stated Glaucoma instead of cataract surgery and was actually looking to inquire about laser surgery after lens replacement to eliminate glasses. Is this possible or even realistic?
Answer
Dear Steve,
With new advanced lenses you can eliminate the need for glasses for both distant as well as near focusses. Speak to your treating doctor regarding Multifocal lens implants.
Yes, LASIK can be done after a cataract surgery, but when 'two birds' viz cataract and glasses can be 'killed' viz treated with 'one stone' viz Multifocal implants it is a cost benefit in the long run.
You may read more about these lenses on the website www.shroffeye.org under Cataract
