Dr.Hardik Parikh
Chief Surgeon & Medical Director, Global Eye Clinic
Dr. Parikh is a cataract, cornea and refractive surgeon practising in Mumbai, with 22 years in practice and more than 40,000 cataract and 10,000 LASIK and corneal surgeries behind him.
He plans from what the examination shows rather than from a standard package. He weighs the options against how you actually use your eyes, whether that is a screen all day or the road at night, and he will tell you plainly when the honest answer is to wait.

Mumbai's first JCI-accredited standalone eye hospital.
Accreditation is not a badge on a wall. It is a recurring external audit of how a hospital handles sterility, medication, records, consent and patient safety — and it is the reason the same standard applies whether you are the first patient of the day or the last.
- Built for eye surgery specificallyA standalone eye hospital, not a general facility with an eye department. Theatres, diagnostics and recovery are all configured around ophthalmic work.
- Meticulous infection controlSterilisation, theatre discipline and air handling run to documented protocols, and are audited against them rather than assumed.
- Internationally benchmarked protocolsClinical pathways follow the standards assessed under JCI and NABH accreditation — reviewed by external assessors, not set in-house.
