Dr. Mayank Jain
Experience: | 7 years |
Education: | India Institute of Medical Sciences |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am someone who works mostly with cataracts, squints, and refractive issues—honestly, seeing people walk in with blurry vision and leave with clarity still kinda amazes me every time. I handle a lot of cataract surgeries, and I use updated tech and modern methods, but honestly it's not always about the tools... it's more about how you do it. And yeah, refractive corrections and squint surgeries too—they need a different kind of precision, more patience maybe.
Now, pediatric ophthalmology, that’s like a different world altogether. Kids don’t always say what’s bothering them, and that makes diagnosis tricky but also kinda rewarding when you finally figure it out. I did specific training in pediatric and neuro-ophthalmology, which gave me the right skills to handle complicated nerve-related eye stuff—again, not simple, but that’s kinda what drew me to it in the first place.
I try to focus on tailoring care for each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all thing... some folks just need more time to understand what’s happening with their eyes, and I make sure I explain it properly, even if I gotta repeat myself once or twice. I don’t believe in rushing through things, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as vision. And yeah, I keep up with the newer evidence-based methods as much as I can—there's always something changing in this field and I try not to fall behind. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda always knew I’d land up in medicine, not sure why but yeah. Did my MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College in Delhi — tough but really shaped my basics. Then moved to AIIMS Delhi for MD, which was.. honestly intense but also where I learnt to actually think like a doctor. After that I trained at LVPEI Hyderabad, did my fellowship there — really opened my eyes (pun not intended lol) to pediatric & neuro-ophthalmology stuff.
Then there was this FICO thing from UK, pretty detailed, really challenged how much I knew. I also cleared MRCS from Edinburg — that one took me a few late nights and lot of revision I didn’t expect, tbh. But all these together made my foundation stronger. They’re just degrees sure, but each one added it’s own thing to how I practice today. Sometimes it still feels surreal, but yeah I worked hard for all that. |
I am an eye surgeon trained at AIIMS Delhi where I kinda got thrown into the deep end, which in hindsight was probably the best way to learn. I mainly work with cataract and squint issues—two very different beasts—but I’ve grown really comfortable dealing with both, especially when surgical intervention’s the only way out. I use newer methods where possible but sometimes the classic techniques still work best... just depends, really. Each eye's got its own story. I also went through advanced training at LVPEI Hyderabad—pediatric ophthalmology and neuro-ophthalmology, which are both fascinating fields and really keep you on your toes. Kids don’t always say what’s wrong, and neuro stuff can feel like solving a puzzle blindfolded. But those challenges are kinda what I like most. I try to stick to evidence-based stuff, even if patients sometimes expect miracles in 2 days. I take time to explain what's actually going on with their vision—sometimes they just need clarity more than anything else. For me it’s not just about surgery or giving drops and sending them home. It’s more like building a plan that works for them, not just the textbook. Staying updated is not really optional anymore, it’s essential. I follow new trials, surgical upgrades, journal updates—everything I can manage between cases. It helps me feel confident that what I’m offering is solid and safe. I also do a lot of post-op care personally. Doesn’t matter how well a surgery goes if the follow-up’s sloppy. Honestly I think what helps most isn’t just skills or degrees—it’s being present, listening properly. That and a bit of patience. I’ve seen how much trust matters in eye care, especially with repeat visits or long-term visual disorders. My job? It's not just fixing vision. It’s making sure people feel seen, in every way.
