Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute
Kolkata
Dr. Sayantan Subrata Bhattacharya is a Consultant Ophthalmologist associated with Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute, Kolkata. He has 15 years of experience according to his Fortis Healthcare profile. His areas of specialisation include cataract surgery, corneal and external eye diseases, refractive surgery and oculoplasty.
Dr. Bhattacharya completed his MBBS from Dr. Vaishampayan Memorial Government Medical College, Solapur, in 2009, followed by an MS in Ophthalmology from Government Medical College, Surat, in 2014. He subsequently completed a fellowship in phacoemulsification surgery in Gujarat in 2014 and a fellowship in cornea and external diseases at Disha Eye Hospitals, Kolkata, in 2018.
His clinical interests include cataract evaluation and surgery. Cataracts develop when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare and difficulty with everyday visual activities. Modern cataract management may involve phacoemulsification, a technique that uses ultrasound energy to remove the cloudy lens before an artificial intraocular lens is implanted.
Dr. Bhattacharya's documented training in cornea and external diseases is relevant to the assessment of corneal inflammation, infections, ocular surface disorders and other conditions affecting the front of the eye. Treatment depends on clinical examination, the underlying diagnosis and the severity of the condition.
His professional profile also identifies refractive surgery and oculoplasty among his specialisations. Refractive procedures are considered for selected patients seeking correction of vision problems, while oculoplasty focuses on conditions affecting the eyelids and surrounding eye structures. The suitability of individual treatments requires specialist evaluation.
Patients looking for an ophthalmologist, cataract surgeon or cornea specialist in Kolkata can enquire about consultation with Dr. Sayantan Subrata Bhattacharya at Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute or Shradha Health Care. His Shradha profile lists English, Bengali and Hindi as consultation languages.
Ophthalmology consultation involves evaluating eye health, vision problems and symptoms affecting the ocular surface or internal eye structures. Assessment may include visual acuity testing, slit-lamp examination and other investigations. Dr. Sayantan Subrata Bhattacharya is a Consultant Ophthalmologist with documented expertise in cataract, cornea, refractive surgery and oculoplasty.
Cataracts develop when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare and difficulty seeing clearly. Evaluation includes measuring visual acuity and examining the lens. Surgery may be recommended when cataracts significantly interfere with daily activities and vision cannot be adequately improved with glasses.
Phacoemulsification is a cataract surgery technique that uses ultrasound energy to break up and remove the cloudy natural lens through a small incision. An artificial intraocular lens is generally implanted afterward. Dr. Bhattacharya completed dedicated fellowship training in phacoemulsification surgery in Gujarat in 2014.
Intraocular lens implantation is commonly performed during cataract surgery to replace the eye's cloudy natural lens. Lens selection depends on eye measurements, visual requirements and other ocular conditions. Different lens designs may be considered after discussing their benefits, limitations and suitability with an ophthalmologist.
The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye and plays an important role in focusing light. Corneal disorders can cause pain, redness, light sensitivity or blurred vision. Dr. Bhattacharya completed fellowship training in cornea and external diseases at Disha Eye Hospitals, Kolkata, in 2018.
Keratitis is inflammation of the cornea that may result from infections, contact lens complications, injury or other causes. Symptoms include pain, redness, tearing and light sensitivity. Prompt evaluation helps identify the cause and determine appropriate treatment, particularly when infection threatens vision.
A corneal ulcer is an open lesion on the corneal surface, often associated with infection. It can cause severe discomfort, redness, discharge and reduced vision. Assessment may involve slit-lamp examination and laboratory testing when indicated. Treatment depends on the cause and requires careful monitoring.
Dry eye syndrome occurs when the tear film does not adequately lubricate and protect the ocular surface. Symptoms may include burning, irritation, fluctuating vision and a gritty sensation. Evaluation considers tear production, tear-film stability and eyelid health. Management depends on the underlying contributing factors.
Refractive errors occur when the eye does not focus light correctly on the retina. Common types include myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Evaluation involves vision testing and refraction to determine suitable correction with glasses, contact lenses or other treatment options when appropriate.
Refractive surgery aims to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses by changing how light is focused within the eye. Assessment includes reviewing prescription stability, corneal measurements, ocular health and patient expectations. Dr. Bhattacharya's professional profile lists refractive surgery among his specialisations.
Photorefractive keratectomy, or PRK, is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the corneal surface. It may be considered for selected refractive errors after detailed screening. Dr. Bhattacharya's Shradha Health Care profile mentions published work relating to PRK, supporting his documented interest in refractive surgery.
Oculoplasty focuses on conditions affecting the eyelids, tear drainage system and structures surrounding the eye. Consultation may involve evaluating eyelid position, swelling, functional symptoms and cosmetic concerns. Dr. Bhattacharya's professional profile identifies oculoplasty as an area of specialisation.
Eyelid disorders include drooping eyelids, abnormal eyelid positioning, inflammation and other conditions that may affect comfort or vision. Assessment considers eyelid function, ocular surface protection and the underlying cause. Treatment may involve medication, monitoring or surgery depending on the diagnosis.
External eye diseases affect structures such as the conjunctiva, cornea and eyelids. Symptoms can include redness, irritation, discharge and discomfort. Clinical examination helps distinguish infectious, inflammatory and other causes. Treatment is selected according to the specific condition and severity.
A comprehensive eye examination evaluates visual function and general eye health. Depending on symptoms and risk factors, it may include visual acuity testing, refraction, intraocular pressure measurement, slit-lamp examination and retinal assessment. Regular examinations can help identify eye conditions before significant visual problems develop.
Postoperative eye care helps monitor healing and identify complications after ophthalmic procedures. Follow-up may involve assessing vision, inflammation, intraocular pressure and the condition of the cornea or implanted lens. Patients should follow their surgeon's medication instructions and attend scheduled reviews.
