His specializations encompass:

  • Cataract Surgery – Expertise in advanced techniques, including phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for clear vision restoration.

  • Phacoemulsification with IOL Implantation – Minimally invasive cataract removal ensuring rapid recovery and high-quality outcomes.
