Rajesh Kumari Superspeciality Eye Hospital
Railway Rd, near Aara Machine, Tulasi Vihar Colony, Pink City Colony, Dadri, Uttar Pradesh 203207, India
Rajesh Kumari Superspeciality Eye Hospital is a tertiary-care ophthalmic centre located in the heart of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, at the prominent “Kacheri Chowk” traffic intersection on Delhi Road. Named in memory of late Smt. Rajesh Kumari—a renowned gynaecologist who championed community eye care—the hospital has, since its inception in 2005, grown from a single-room out-patient clinic into an 85-bed state-of-the-art facility that now treats more than 185,000 patient encounters annually and performs close to 11,000 ocular surgeries every year.
Designed by ophthalmologist-director Dr. Shalabh Gupta and civil-engineer spouse Dr. Smita Gupta, the six-storey building marries functionality with patient-centric aesthetics. A double-height atrium of frosted glass floods the reception area with natural light while shielding sensitive eyes from direct glare. Waiting benches are made of anti-microbial Corian; floors are slip-resistant vitrified tile with coloured tactile strips for low-vision navigation; and a 24-camera CCTV network linked to a dedicated security cabin ensures patient safety. Every clinical floor is colour-coded. Lift panels and departmental signage feature Braille extensions, audio prompts in four regional languages, and pictograms for illiterate patients.
The hospital’s surgical “power quadrant” is anchored by three modular laminar-air-flow theatres—one exclusively reserved for infection-free “No-Touch Phaco” cataract cases and two convertible suites for posterior-segment micro-incision vitrectomy (MIVS) and advanced glaucoma filtration procedures. Surgeries are driven by Alcon Centurion and DORC Eva phaco-emulsification platforms, Zeiss Lumera 700 microscopes with integrated intraoperative OCT, Femto LDV Z8 femtosecond laser system, and CENTURION Signature PRO with active-fluidics technology for unmatched chamber stability. A 3D heads-up display (Ngenuity) enables the retinal team to perform combined cataract-vitrectomy under wide-angle panoramic viewing.
Diagnostics run on ZEISS Cirrus HD-OCT 6000 with AngioPlex, Optos ultra-widefield fundus imaging, IOLMaster 700 with swept-source biometry, Pentacam AXL Wavefront for customised toric lenses, Oculus Keratograph 5M for dry-eye analytics, and Hartridge ERG/VEP Electrophysiology units. A dedicated Molecular Diagnostics Lab—accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Laboratories (NABL)—detects Chlamydia trachomatis, herpes simplex, and emerging fungal keratitis strains, enabling targeted anti-microbial therapy.
The facility houses three fully-networked sub-specialty clinics: (1) Squint & Pediatric Ophthalmology run by Dr. Ankita Bansal, ex-AIIMS; (2) Cornea-Transplant & Refractive Centre led by Prof. Arun Guliani, recipient of the ICMR Dr. V. Ramalingaswami Fellowship; and (3) Advanced Retina-Oculoplasty wing directed by Dr. Anupam Gaur, fellowship-trained at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London. An on-site optical gallery carries 3,500 frames sourced from 18 sustainable acetate suppliers and a Zeiss Vision Center for free-form progressive lens surfacing.
Unique to the ethos of the hospital is its “Saksham-Netra” community outreach arm. Every month two mobile vision vans—each equipped with a Hyundai H1 clinic on chassis outfitted with non-mydriatic fundus cameras, autorefractors, and satellite uplinks—traverse Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Bulandshahr and Bijnor districts. Screening data are uploaded in real time to a central AWS cloud server, allowing tele-ophthalmology triage and scheduling surgeries at the main centre within 48 hours. More than 43,000 rural citizens have received free spectacles or subsidised cataract, retina, and glaucoma surgeries to date.
Committed to zero single-use plastic, the hospital mandates biodegradable corn-starch disposables, conducts ISO-14001 compliant biomedical waste segregation, and offsets energy consumption with a 75 kW rooftop solar farm that meets 47 % of the facility’s daily power needs. The hospital has earned NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) entry-level certification in 2016 and progressive accreditation for nursing excellence in 2019.
Rajesh Kumari Superspeciality Eye Hospital is open Monday–Saturday, 08:00–18:00 for OPD and 08:00–20:00 for emergency trauma cases. No-scalilng-fee cashless insurance empanelments include CGHS, Ayushman Bharat, ECHS, ESI, and 34 other TPAs.
