Cataract Faculty

Dr. Rohit Om Parkash heads NABH certified Dr. Om Parkash Eye Institute at Amritsar. Born to Dr. Om Parkash and Mrs. Ambika Om Parkash in 1963 he seems to have Ophthalmology in his blood as he happens to be the third generation into Ophthalmology. Dr. Rohit Om Parkash did his MBBS from Glancy Medical College and got the Gold Medal in Eye & ENT. He did his Masters in Ophthalmology from the same college in 1990. Dr. Rohit Om Parkash specializes in cataract which is the high-profile branch of Ophthalmology. Cataract has seen the maximum advancements in techniques, technology and results. Dr. Rohit Om Parkash is one of the earliest ones to start with phacoemulsification in India in 1995. This is the latest technique of No Injection, No Stitch & No Pad Cataract Surgery with Intra Ocular Lens Implantation. Recently, Dr. Rohit Om Parkash was the chief instructor in the instruction course “Tough Cataract Phacoemulsification – A Quest for Perfection” in the Asia Pacific Academy of Opthamology meet in Singapore. Dr. I Howard Fine from USA & Dr. Mahipal Sachdev from Delhi were the co instructors in the instruction course. Dr. Rohit Om Parkash has a different concept in “Posterior Polar Cataract Phacoemulsification”, one of the difficult cataracts to remove. This technique which was initially rejected by the Phacosurgeons received acclaim when the video of his technique got selected in the finals for the best video competition in the Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthamology meet in Singapore in 2006. Dr. Rohit Om Parkash passion for disseminating knowledge is quite evident from the hundreds of ophthalmologists who have visited the institute for learning Phacoemulsification. Live surgical demonstration of surgeries in various conferences has been a regular feature by Dr. Rohit Om Parkash since 1999. The charitable wing is a brain child of Dr. Rohit Om Parkash who feels that Quality treatment should be provided to people from even the lowest of strata. Dr. Rohit Om Parkash feels money should not be the main product. Services should be the main criterion with money being a by product.

I think that Doctor’s are God. Because they give us light. If God forget to give us complete and clear vision and I think that Intralase LASIK is a very much good option for the people who have weak eyesight. I thought that why I delayed this and wasted my life suffering because of sight. I thank great doctor Ajay Khanna that I will live with my full eyesight and enjoy my life with this Doctor’s Gift.

After seeing the hospital decorum services of all staff, particularly of Dr. Ajay Khanna are highly appreciable. As per my view, Doctor’s are more than God.
