About Dr. Sameer Kaushal
Dr. Sameer Kaushal is a highly qualified eye surgeon trained at AIIMS New Delhi, with specialization in Cornea, Cataract, and Refractive Surgery. His work includes treatment of corneal and ocular surface disorders, advanced anterior segment surgeries (such as phaco cataract surgery), and refractive vision correction procedures like LASIK.
AIIMS training & clinical focus
During his training in the Cornea, Cataract and Refractive Surgery Unit at AIIMS, Dr. Kaushal developed expertise in:
- Corneal disorders and ocular surface disease
- Anterior segment surgery (including cataract surgery and corneal procedures)
Refractive correction (LASIK and other options)
A practical approach that patients value
For most patients, “best doctor” isn’t just about credentials—it’s about clear explanations, safe decision-making, and realistic expectations. A good consultation should leave you understanding:
- what your diagnosis actually means,
- what options you have (including non-surgical choices), and
what outcomes are reasonable for your eye and your lifestyle.
Areas of expertise & treatments of Dr. Sameer Kaushal
Below is a clear view of the conditions and procedures patients commonly consult Dr. Sameer Kaushal for.
Cornea & ocular surface disorders
Corneal and ocular surface problems can cause blurred vision, pain, redness, watering, and light sensitivity. Care may involve medicines, specialized eye drops, protective measures, and when needed—surgery.
Common areas include:
- Corneal disorders
- Ocular allergies and dry eyes
- Ocular surface disorders (where the cornea/tear film is not stable)
Patient tip: Dry eye can mimic “weak eyesight.” A quality evaluation checks tear film and surface health before considering refractive surgery.
Cataract surgery (phaco) + lens options
Cataracts cause clouding of the natural lens and often present as: glare at night, faded colors, and progressive blur.
Dr. Kaushal performs phacoemulsification cataract surgery, where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). Your consultation typically includes discussion of:
- lens choice (standard vs lifestyle lenses when suitable),
- astigmatism correction options, and
- expected recovery timeline.
Pitfall to avoid: Choosing a lens “because someone else did.” Lens selection should match your eye measurements and daily visual needs
LASIK & refractive surgery (including phakic IOLs)
Many younger patients consult for freedom from glasses. Dr. Kaushal performs LASIK and also works with refractive options like phakic IOLs (an implantable lens option used in select cases).
Your eligibility depends on:
- corneal thickness and shape,
- eye power stability,
- dry eye status, and
- overall eye health.
Practical rule: A safe refractive plan starts with diagnostics. If LASIK isn’t ideal, alternatives may still achieve your goal safely.
Corneal transplant options (including newer techniques)
For advanced corneal disease or scarring, corneal transplant procedures may be recommended. Dr. Kaushal is familiar with newer advancements such as sutureless corneal transplants and artificial corneas (used in specific situations based on eye condition).
Glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy care
These conditions can threaten vision silently—especially in early stages. Proper management often requires:
- regular eye pressure checks and optic nerve evaluation (glaucoma),
- retinal screening and ongoing follow-up (diabetic retinopathy), and
coordinated long-term care, not just one-time treatment.
Pediatric cataract surgery
Children need specialized assessment and careful planning for timing, lens decisions, amblyopia prevention, and follow-ups. Pediatric cataract care is different from adult cataract care—experience matters.

What to expect: consultation → tests → treatment plan
A good eye consultation is structured, not rushed. Typically, you can expect:
Typical diagnostic tests
Depending on your complaint, tests may include:
- refraction (power check) and vision measurement
- slit-lamp exam (front of the eye)
- eye pressure measurement
- corneal topography (important for LASIK planning)
retinal exam (especially for diabetes and glaucoma evaluation)
Decision-making: benefits, risks, alternatives
For surgical decisions (LASIK, cataract, corneal procedures), a responsible plan includes:
- benefits and realistic outcomes
- possible side effects/risks
- alternatives (including non-surgical options)
- recovery timeline and follow-up schedule
What you should bring: old prescriptions, prior reports, list of medicines, and any history of diabetes/hypertension.
International patients: how MediHelp Global supports you
If you’re coming from Asia, South Africa, or the Americas, the biggest stress points are usually: finding the right specialist, aligning timelines, and managing logistics. That’s where MediHelp Global helps.
Pre-travel medical review & scheduling
We help you organize key reports and symptoms so your first visit is meaningful. This can reduce back-and-forth and improve clarity on:
- whether you need surgery or only evaluation,
- How many days should you plan in India, and
- What tests are likely required?
Help with travel planning (as needed)
Based on availability, we can guide you through:
- documentation requirements for hospital appointments,
- stay planning near the hospital, and
- interpreter/attendant support coordination (when available).
Coordination with hospitals (including Amrita Hospital Faridabad)
While this page focuses on Dr. Kaushal’s profile and care at Artemis, some patients also need broader hospital coordination (multi-specialty evaluation, diabetes management, cardiac clearance before surgery, etc.). In such cases, Amrita Hospital Faridabad may be part of the care pathway depending on clinical needs and your preferences.
How to book an appointment (step-by-step)
- Share your concern (blurred vision, cataract diagnosis, LASIK interest, glaucoma, diabetes eye screening, or corneal issue).
- Send prior reports (if any): refraction, topography, OCT/retina reports, eye pressure readings, and blood sugar history (for diabetic patients).
- Get an appointment plan: recommended consultation type, expected tests, and estimated time in India.
- Confirm schedule: clinic visit timing and any pre-visit instructions (e.g., don’t wear contact lenses for a certain period before corneal scans).

FAQs
1) Is Dr Sameer Kaushal a LASIK specialist?
Yes—his specialty includes refractive surgery, and he performs LASIK as well as refractive options like phakic IOLs for select candidates. Eligibility depends on corneal measurements, dryness, and overall eye health.
2) Which hospital does Dr Sameer Kaushal consult at?
He is associated with Artemis Hospitals / Artemis Health Institute in Gurugram (Delhi NCR).
3) Can I consult for cataract and glaucoma in the same visit?
Often yes. Many patients are evaluated for both during a structured eye exam, especially if there’s glare, blurred vision, high eye pressure, diabetes, or family history of glaucoma.
4) What should international patients prepare before traveling?
Bring previous eye reports, a list of medicines, and systemic history (diabetes, blood pressure). If you contact MediHelp Global in advance, we help you organize reports and plan the right appointment type for your timeline.
5) LASIK vs phakic IOL—how do I know what’s right?
A decision is usually based on corneal thickness/shape, prescription range, tear film quality, and lifestyle needs. A diagnostic workup (especially corneal topography and dry-eye evaluation) helps determine the safest option.
6) Does MediHelp Global only coordinate at one hospital?
No. We coordinate based on clinical fit and your preferences. If your plan benefits from broader multi-specialty support, we may also coordinate with centers like Amrita Hospital Faridabad.
