| Dr. Rohit Om Parkash heads ISO 9001-2000 AQA (American Quality Assurance) certified Dr. Om Parkash Satyam Netralaya at Amritsar.
Born to Dr. Om Parkash and Mrs. Ambika Om Parkash in 1963 he seems to have Ophthalmology in his blood as he happens to be the third generation into Ophthalmology.
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 30,000 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
Top
- teach phacoemulsification throughout the world by conferences, workshops & live surgeries everywhere.
- organize round table interactive discussions periodically to form a consensus on latest phaco trends.
- document the outcome of such discussions and get its appropriate distribution all over.
- have a website which among other things would help to solve Phaco related problems of different ophthalmologists online.
- 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 Elulsification" 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 Academy of Opthamology 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 Academy of Ophthamology 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.
