Dr. Nandini Ray is a Senior Consultant Ophthalmologist and eye surgeon associated with Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute, Kolkata. She specialises in cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, phacoemulsification and advanced intraocular lens implantation. Her official Fortis Healthcare profile lists 34 years of experience.
Dr. Nandini Ray completed her MBBS at Calcutta Medical College in 1984. She subsequently obtained MRCOphth and FRCOphth qualifications from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, London. Her professional training and surgical practice focus on advanced ophthalmic care.
As an ophthalmologist in Kolkata, Dr. Nandini Ray provides specialist care for patients with cataracts, glaucoma and other vision-related concerns. Her professional background includes extensive experience in modern cataract surgery and the use of advanced intraocular lens technology.
Cataract surgery is one of Dr. Ray's principal areas of expertise. A cataract develops when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, resulting in blurred vision, glare, reduced contrast and difficulty performing daily activities.
Dr. Nandini Ray has performed phacoemulsification cataract surgery since 1994, according to her professional website. Phacoemulsification uses ultrasound energy to break up and remove the cloudy natural lens before an artificial intraocular lens is implanted.
Her official Fortis biography describes her as a pioneer in no-stitch, no-pad and no-injection phacoemulsification techniques in Eastern India. The suitability of these approaches depends on individual eye findings and the anaesthesia plan.
Dr. Ray has considerable experience with premium intraocular lenses. These lenses may be selected to address different visual needs following cataract surgery, including astigmatism and the desire for reduced dependence on spectacles.
Toric intraocular lenses are designed to correct selected amounts of corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery. Dr. Nandini Ray's professional website identifies toric lens implantation among the eye care services available at her practice.
Advanced multifocal and trifocal intraocular lenses may provide vision at more than one distance for suitable patients. Lens selection requires assessment of eye health, visual expectations and possible limitations.
Dr. Nandini Ray's professional website also discusses femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. This technology uses a laser to perform selected steps of cataract surgery and may be considered for appropriate patients.
Glaucoma surgery is another major area of Dr. Ray's clinical expertise. Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and may lead to irreversible vision loss if not appropriately managed.
Glaucoma assessment typically involves measuring eye pressure, examining the optic nerve and performing investigations such as visual field testing when indicated. Treatment depends on the type and severity of glaucoma.
Dr. Ray is also associated with Radiant Eye Foundation, Kolkata, which provides comprehensive eye assessments and counselling for patients with diabetic and hypertensive eye disorders.
Dry eye evaluation, retinal disease assessment and paediatric eye services are among the services described by Radiant Eye Foundation. The availability of specific procedures should be confirmed with the practice.
