Kota has steadily built up a strong ophthalmology ecosystem over the past two decades. What used to mean a trip to Jaipur for anything beyond a basic eye checkup can now be handled locally — from LASIK and advanced cataract surgery to retina procedures and specialised oculoplastic work.
This list covers the five most qualified, well-reviewed, and genuinely Kota-based ophthalmologists — verified across clinic directories, patient platforms, and hospital websites. No out-of-city names, no padded lists.
Note: Verify current availability and consultation timings directly with each clinic before visiting — doctor schedules can change seasonally.
#1 — Dr. Suresh K. Pandey
MS (Ophthalmology) — PGIMER Chandigarh | Post-doctoral training in USA & Australia (7 years)
🏥 SuVi Eye Hospital & Lasik Laser Centre
📍 C-13, Suvi Eye Hospital Road, Sector-C, Talwandi, Kota – 324005
PhacoemulsificationPaediatric CataractLASIKPremium IOLRefractive Surgery
Dr. Pandey co-founded SuVi Eye Hospital in 2006 after completing postgraduate training at one of India’s top institutions — PGIMER Chandigarh — followed by seven years of clinical and research work in the United States and Australia. He has international publications on cataract surgery and premium intraocular lens techniques.
SuVi has become the reference centre in the Hadoti region for complex eye procedures, drawing patients from Kota, Bundi, Baran, and Jhalawar who previously had to travel to Jaipur. His focus on paediatric cataract surgery fills a genuine gap that most smaller clinics in the region don’t cover well.

#2 Dr. Vidushi Sharma Pandey
MBBS, MS (Ophthalmology) — AIIMS New Delhi | Fellowship in Oculoplastic Surgery — Sydney Eye Hospital, Australia
🏥 SuVi Eye Hospital & Lasik Laser Centre
📍 C-13, Suvi Eye Hospital Road, Sector-C, Talwandi, Kota – 324005
Oculoplastic SurgeryEyelid ReconstructionOrbital DisordersLacrimal SurgeryCosmetic Eye Surgery
Dr. Vidushi trained at AIIMS New Delhi — arguably India’s most rigorous medical institution — before completing a fellowship in oculoplastic surgery at Sydney Eye Hospital in Australia. She is the only ophthalmologist in the entire Hadoti region with subspecialty training in oculoplasty, and one of very few in all of Rajasthan.
Patients requiring eyelid surgery, orbital tumour management, blocked tear ducts, or cosmetic eye procedures no longer need to go to Jaipur or Delhi. Her AIIMS pedigree and international fellowship make her credentials stand out even in a national context.

Long-term Kota residents often name Saroya as their default for routine eye care, annual checkups, and uncomplicated cataract cases. He is valued for clear communication and unhurried consultations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which is the best eye hospital in Kota, Rajasthan?
Suvi Eye Hospital in Talwandi is the most advanced and subspecialty-rich eye hospital in Kota — with AIIMS-trained specialists, LASIK facilities, oculoplastic surgery, and paediatric eye care under one roof. Kota Eye Hospital & Research Foundation (est. 1987) is the city’s most established institution and the top choice for retina cases.
Q2. Is LASIK surgery available in Kota?
Yes. Both SuVi Eye Hospital and Eye And Vision Center offer LASIK and laser refractive procedures. A thorough pre-LASIK evaluation — corneal mapping, pachymetry, dry eye screening — is done before surgery to confirm you’re a suitable candidate. Not everyone qualifies, and a reputable clinic will tell you honestly if you don’t.
Q3. What is the cost of cataract surgery in Kota?
For standard phacoemulsification with a basic monofocal IOL, costs in Kota typically range from ₹8,000–₹18,000 per eye. Premium lenses — multifocal or toric — can bring the cost to ₹25,000–₹50,000 per eye. Several hospitals empanel with Ayushman Bharat and CGHS for eligible patients. Always get a written cost breakdown before surgery.
Q4. Who is the best retina specialist in Kota?
Dr. Ankit Mahesh Punjabi at Kota Eye Hospital is the most established vitreoretinal surgeon in Kota, rated 4.8★ by patients. Dr. Deepesh Chhablani at Rajasthan Eye Hospital (Vigyan Nagar) is another Kota-based retina specialist trained at Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai — worth considering for a second opinion on complex retinal cases.
Q5. Is there a paediatric eye specialist in Kota?
Dr. Suresh K. Pandey at SuVi Eye Hospital has specific expertise in paediatric cataract surgery. Dr. Ankur Sinha (also at SuVi) handles squint correction and paediatric eye alignment issues. If your child has a white reflex in photos, crossed eyes, or a lazy eye, early evaluation — ideally before age 7 — is important for the best outcome.
Q6. How do I book an appointment with these doctors?
Saroya Eye Hospital and Eye And Vision Center are bookable via Practo. SuVi Eye Hospital can be contacted through their website (suvieyehospital.com) or by phone. Kota Eye Hospital (kotaeyehospital.com) also takes direct appointments. Walk-ins are accepted at most clinics, but booking ahead avoids long waits — especially for Dr. Saroya and Dr. Punjabi, who run busy OPDs.
