Dr Shibal Bhartiya — Glaucoma Specialist, Gurugram (Delhi NCR)

About Dr Shibal Bhartiya

Dr Shibal Bhartiya is a senior glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmology specialist in Gurugram, and a clinician-scientist of international standing with more than two decades of experience. She serves as Clinical Director of Ophthalmology at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram (a NABH-accredited multi-super-speciality hospital), where she also leads the hospital's Community Outreach & Wellness programme. She was previously Director of the Department of Ophthalmology at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram.

Her clinical sub-specialty is glaucoma — the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of a group of conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually through raised eye pressure, and which can cause irreversible vision loss if not managed properly. She is fellowship-trained in glaucoma, offers the full range of medical, laser and surgical management including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), and has a particular interest in how treatment decisions should balance clinical evidence with each patient's preferences and long-term vision outcomes. Alongside glaucoma, she manages neuro-ophthalmology and diseases of the ocular surface, including dry eye.

What distinguishes Dr Bhartiya's profile is the depth of her academic contribution. She is a prolific researcher and medical editor, holds editorial leadership positions at international ophthalmology journals, and combines a high-volume clinical practice with ongoing research collaboration. She is also the founder of Vision Unlimited, a social-impact organisation in Gurgaon.

A clinician-scientist

Dr Bhartiya's research output places her among the more academically active ophthalmologists in the region. She has more than 90 PubMed-indexed publications and has contributed extensively to the glaucoma literature, including peer-reviewed research on how glaucoma treatment decisions should weigh medical evidence against patient preferences and long-term outcomes. She holds senior editorial positions at international ophthalmology journals and collaborates in research with Mayo Clinic. For patients, this academic depth translates into care grounded in current evidence — and the option to review her published work directly.
