The name Shroff has been synonymous
with excellence in eyecare for 110 years. Shroff Eye Centre is one of the
oldest private eye hospitals in Delhi NCR, with a legacy of more than a 100 years
in eyecare. Founded by Dr. Minoo Shroff, the son of the pioneering
ophthalmologist Dr S.P. Shroff, the centre has grown under the guidance of his
sons, Dr Noshir and Dr Cyrus Shroff.
Today, the fourth generation of the
Shroff family, Dr. Daraius and Dr. Rushad Shroff, are also at the helm of this
esteemed institution. Under the stewardship of these two generations, the
centre has evolved into a state-of-the-art facility, offering comprehensive eye
care services to patients from all over India and around the globe.
With a network of four centres across
Delhi NCR, Shroff Eye Centre boasts a team of over 40 specialists, each an
expert in their field. The hospital is equipped with the latest technology,
ensuring patients receive the most advanced eye treatment available. It is also
amongst a handful of eye care centres to have three paediatric ophthalmologists
for children's eye problems, uveitis specialists and a neuro-ophthalmology
expert. From difficult cataract surgeries to complicated retina procedures,
from complex corneal problems to tough glaucoma and squint cases- the centre's
expertise is unparalleled- making it a tertiary referral eye centre in North
India.
A hallmark of Shroff Eye Centre is its
unwavering commitment to patient care. The hospital has been at the forefront
of ophthalmic advancements, introducing revolutionary techniques like phaco and
femto-laser cataract surgery and minimally invasive retina surgery in the 20th
and early 21st century. It was among the first in the region to establish a
Vision Therapy Clinic and Dry Eye Clinic, recognizing the importance of
holistic eye care. The recent adoption of the SILK refractive surgery for specs
removal in 2023 further underscores the centre's dedication to providing
cutting-edge solutions.
Beyond clinical excellence, Shroff Eye
Centre is deeply committed to giving back to the community. The Dr. Minoo
Shroff Memorial Trust in collaboration with Delhi Commonwealth Womens
Association offers subsidised treatment to underprivileged patients, ensuring
that quality eye care is accessible to all.
The centre's journey has been marked
by numerous accolades and recognitions. Dr. Noshir Shroff was honoured with the
Padma Bhushan for his contributions to ophthalmology in 2010. Many of the centre’s doctors have been awarded and
recognised on the international and national stage. The hospital itself has
earned prestigious accreditations like NABH and ISO, a testament to its
adherence to global quality standards.
Shroff Eye Centre aims to be partners
and guides in their patient’s eye health journey. With a steadfast focus on
patient well-being, ethical patient care, innovation, and compassion, the
institution remains a beacon of hope for countless individuals seeking to
restore and preserve their vision. Its legacy continues to inspire.
