What to Look For in a Cataract Surgeon

Surgical outcomes depend heavily on experience and judgment -- not just the technology used. Beyond technical skill, continuity matters: the surgeon who evaluates you should be the same one operating, and the same one seeing you afterward.

What Happens During Your Evaluation?

Detailed surgical assessment by the operating surgeon
Direct discussion of lens options and expected outcomes
Clear explanation of risks specific to your case
A recommendation based on your daily life, not a standard protocol

What I Commonly Hear From Patients

Ophthalmologist

"Patients researching cataract surgery often tell me they're less worried about the procedure itself and more concerned about who is actually doing it -- will it really be the surgeon they consulted with?"

It will. I evaluate every patient myself, perform the surgery myself, and see you for follow-up myself. That continuity matters -- you shouldn't have to re-explain your case to a different person at every stage of surgical care.

A Few Common Questions

Will Dr. Rajeswari actually perform my surgery, or will it be handled by a surgical team?
Dr. Rajeswari performs the evaluation and the surgery personally -- there's no handoff to a different surgeon on the day of your procedure.
What makes one cataract surgeon a better choice than another?
Experience with your specific case, a clear explanation of lens options suited to your lifestyle, and continuity of care through every follow-up. Dr. Rajeswari is AIIMS-trained with a Medical Retina Fellowship, bringing both surgical and broader ophthalmic expertise to each case.
Can I speak with the surgeon directly before deciding, rather than just a coordinator?
Yes -- your consultation is with Dr. Rajeswari directly, so any questions about the procedure, risks, or lens choice are answered by the person actually performing your surgery.
