DR CYRES MEHTA Crossed the
milestone of
Eye Surgeon 25,000 in Cataract
Surgeries so far.
Dr. Cyres Mehta has made a habit of
breaking new ground in whatever
endeavor he puts his mind to.

The Indian born eye surgeon after
obtaining his Master’s Degree in 2000,
and scoring highest marks in theory exam
left the shores of India in 2000 in his quest
as an ambitious young doctor to Germany
and USA with a passion to be trained in
Laser Cataract Surgery with the great
Inventor and Innovator Dr. Howard Fine
and Prof. Rentsch in Germany. Hereturned
to India two years later and introduced
immersion Biometry, Multifocal Lens
implants and non-penetrating Glaucoma
surgery, a technique not so well-known in
India at that time.

No wonder, his list of accolades is growing
longer by the day. He spends most of
his time performing eye operations in
cataracts and glaucoma – a problem
that is taking a considerable toll on
the population. He has crossed the
milestone of 25,000 cataract surgeries
so far. His career has been marked by a
succession of researches into diagnostics
and his inventions have been heralded
internationally. He has been a recipient of
several Gold medals and awards including
the coveted Parsi Ratna Award in 2013.

His impressive numbers of firsts
include appointment as Indian Editor to
Eurotimes, a widely read eye magazine
in the world; non-penetrating Glaucoma
Surgery and Canaloplasty surgery;
conducting instruction courses yearly at
the European society of cataract surgeons
and being consultant to Maharashtra
Police.

He is the author and co-author of over 50
text books on ophthalmology.

His hobbies include interest in racing
motor cycles, a rare hobby for surgeons (2
time graduate of the California Superbike
School), playing harmonica and spending
time with his two lovely boys.
