Dr. ROP did his MBBS from Glancy
Medical College and got the Gold Medal in Eye & ENT. He
did his Masters in Ophthalmology from the same college
in 1990.
Dr. ROP specializes in cataract which is the high
profile branch of Ophthalmology. Cataract has seen the
maximum advancements in techniques, technology and
results. Dr. Rohit is one of the earliest ones to start
with phacoemulsification in India in1995. This is the
latest technique of NO INJECTION, NO STITCH & NO PAD
CATARACT SURGERY WITH INTRA OCULAR LENS IMPLANTATION.He
is the convener of the ‘THE PHOENIX PHACOSURGEONS CLUB’
which is the exclusive group of cataract surgeons who
have to their credit documented
25,000 phacosurgeries
performed by an individual. He believes “The main source
of knowledge is experience”. The other thing he believes
is “good judgment comes from experience & experience
comes from bad judgment”. Dr.Rohit strongly feels that
this club is another feather in the cap of the Indians
because more than half of the surgeons in this group
would be from India. This group has the following
objectives
a) teach phacoemulsification throughout the world by
conferences, workshops & live surgeries everywhere.
b) organize round table interactive discussions
periodically to form a consensus on latest phaco trends
c) document the outcome of such discussions and get its
appropriate distribution all over
d) have a website which among other things would help to
solve Phaco related problems of different
ophthalmologists online.
e) write books periodically
This elite club is having its first interactive meeting
in London in September, 2006.However, the defining
moment has been the availability of the latest
technology in India the moment it becomes available
anywhere in the world. Dr.Om Parkash Satyam Netralaya
has installed INFINITI cataract removal system for
almost a year now. This is the most advanced Phacoemulsification system in the world.
Dr Rohit Om Parkash is the first phacosurgeon in North
India to use the latest technology of the
“TORSIONAL
EMULSIFICATION” with 2.2mm incision micro coaxial
technique with
IQ IOL implantation. Torsional
Emulsification is a much safer technique than the
traditional phacoemulsification technique.
Recently, Dr. Rohit was the chief instructor in the
instruction course “TOUGH CATARACT PHACOEMULSIFICATION
–A QUEST FOR PERFECTION” in the ASIA PACIFIC ACADAMY OF
OPHTHALMOLOGY MEET in Singapore. DR. I HOWARD FINE from
USA & Dr. MAHIPAL SACHDEV from Delhi were the co
instructors in the instruction course.
.
Dr. Rohit has a different concept in “POSTERIOR POLAR
CATARACT PHACOEMULSIFICATION”, one of the difficult
cataracts to remove. This technique which was initially
rejected by the Phacosurgeons received acclaim when the
video of his technique got selected in the finals for
the best video competition in the ASIA PACIFIC ACADAMY
OF OPHTHALMOLOGY meet in Singapore in 2006. Dr. ROP
passion for disseminating knowledge is quite evident
from the hundreds of ophthalmologists who have visited
the institute for learning Phacoemulsification. Live
surgical demonstration of surgeries in various
conferences has been a regular feature by Dr. ROP since
1999.
The charitable wing is a brain child of Dr. ROP who
feels that Quality treatment should be provided to
people from even the lowest of strata. Dr. Rohit feels
money should not be the main product. Services should be
the main criterion with money being a byproduct.
