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 - eye color change


Expert: Dr Anand Shroff, MD, FICS - 4/21/2008

Question
dear doctor i have recently come to know that there is a surgery available in Russia and Europe that carry out surgeries that alter the eye color by burning the pigment in your eye with laser and many people have go on to have this surgery i am extremely interested in having this done will it be possible for you to pass on my details to these practices so i can have this done thank you very much and god bless you

Answer
Dear Anil,

These are in very experimental stages with no implications on long term complications and not recommended by me. Personally in my experience I have not come across any doctor doing this nor any patient who has undergone it. I would not believe everything on the net alone. It needs to be substantiated with reliable data.
It would be safer to use coloured lenses.

Regards,
Dr Anand Shroff, MS (OPHTH), FICS
